About

We’ll tell you the plan after it succeeds.

This site grew from a few projects:

  • “The Secret Manual”, a book meant to be printed and kept handy.  It will contain useful tools for everyday life, when electronic devices fail.  There will be white-space to add notes.
  • Service Manual Fan-Fiction™, a nascent genre of writing that we hope to develop.  There are presently two sub-chapters:
    • Alternative Version: Manuals with alternative labels and instructions using existing products’ diagrams.  The less we knew about the device before we start writing, the better.
    • Addenda: Anthropomorphic tales of stripped machine-screws and their strange attraction to left-over lock-washers.  No dragons, glitter-vampires, or Bhutanese boy-bands involved.
      • Sub-sub chapter: What REALLY goes on in the parts bins at a certain Swedish furniture company that would sue us into oblivion if they read what we claim the kügel bookshelf’s secret is.
