Break something.

Detail of the week 18 poster.

Everybody’s always talking about making things, inventing things, discovering things... but what about breaking things? Destroying things? Taking things apart? There’s something to be said for deconstruction — it’s a learning tool too. I used to take apart cassette players and lamps to see all the parts (could never put them back together, though, so I’d turn them into other things). I used to take apart my bicycles, down to the last ball bearing in the crankset (and I was quite expert at putting my beloved bikes back together). Even “Demo Man” here wouldn’t exist if a bunch of other things hadn’t been broken apart and reassembled. Try it.
