Preserving food by fermentation is like taking the time to build a small community, in which we invite the microbes we want, and don't let in the ones we don't.

There's big value in customizations, in making things playful.

A character is carving a face into a pumpkin, with a rabbit friend who is contributing in their own way by taking small bites into it, leaving pockmarks.

There is no waste in nature.

Diversity is important in nearly all aspects, whether it's with computers, or with agriculture.

Viruses can attack a single crop, or a single computer architecture. Diversity distributes the surface of attack and creates resilience.
