Christopher Alexander Redux


I'm desperately trying to keep this from becoming a blog about the works of Christopher Alexander. Upon finishing "Notes on the Synthesis of Form" I have to say that it is good, but at some times too simple, and at some times too complex. I suppose that's what you get with early works. I've just purchased "A Timeless Way of Building" and a review of that will be in the works.

To convince you of my earnestness to not make this a Christopher Alexander blog, I shall link you to something amusing. Garfield minus Garfield removes Garfield's redundant analysis (and presence even) from the strip to some comical results. Jon Arbuckle becomes a pathetic sociopath. hmm.
