About the Maker(s)

Jack McCornack
I'm a notorious designer of minimalist devices -- vehicles, aircraft, and equipment -- that conserve resources by not using more than needed. The pessimist says the glass is half empty. The optimist says the glass is half full. The minimalist says, we're using about twice as much glass as we need here.
