Law 1: Reduce (desktop pattern)

Desktop pattern for a normal 4:3 aspect ratio screen (~50kb).		Desktop pattern for a 16:9 widescreen (~50kb).

The First Law reduce is simple, use she: shrink, hide, embody. Use good judgement—that’s often complex.

   Hi John. I just started reading your book and it’s great. Having only made it through the first few pages so far, I am already blown away by your observations. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights! Keep the desktop pictures coming!

   Hi there -
   Just started (and enjoying the book). No sign of any new deskpats though…
   Are you still planning to make them available?

   Many thanks for the idea(l)s

   Joe

   Bit late on finding this blog (just started the book) but think that these wall papers are a great idea.

   Setting them as a rotating desktop wall paper should be a nice reminder of the laws and their message.
