It is a testament to our great society that we suffer Bruce Sterling to explore the heights of photonic faux pas without fear of retribution or accusation that he stole it from his grandmother’s macram class.
The (c)lamp is nearing production as they finish “ironing out final manufacturing details.” It’s hard to keep that many factory workers stoned, for instance.
