Shortly after completing the Laws of Simplicity, I had a show of new work at Riflemaker Gallery in London. The Apple iPod was just taking off, and I made a few sculptural works out of them. Alice Rawsthorn reviewed this show for the IHTJ/NYT. -JM
Found this 2006 review of Laws of Simplicity by Garr Reynolds — I’ve always wanted to meet him. -JM
Congratulations to Matthew May on the publication of his new book on a subject that is near and dear to my heart … simplification through subtraction. -JM
Site Resurrected on WordPress
Thank you to Matt Mullenweg and Philip Arthur Moore for moving my blogs to WordPress!
I am fixing this site for the next few months as there are many odd characters that didn’t make the translation back and forth from WP and Posterous. Thanks for your patience. -JM
SLIP Tool Resurrected
It is a bit rusty by Web 2010 standards but still works. Phew. -JM
Life Simplified by Posterous
The security for my original website for lawsofsimplicity.com was compromised (I had handcoded edits to WordPress 2.0.2 which is sort of old now and thus it became insecure …) and given that I don’t have that much time to fix things I looked for a better solution. The content got mangled in the import over here, but I’m happy that at least some of it remains. -JM
Hmmm
Life’s been quite busy for me since I became the President of the Rhode Island School of Design. The Laws have been useful for me and I hope to be able to get my mind together in due time to share those experiences with you. Thank you for checking on this site periodically. It’s not over yet. Best regards, John Maeda
