Ursula Franklin - “The Real World of Technology”

I love it ericrawn.media/assets/blog/pu…

@steveruizok Super excited to finally share it with the world! Having a wonderful canvas library to build from made it a really fun dev experience too. 😊 For anyone interested, you can get Quickpose, the paper, or fork the source at ericrawn.media/quickpose
