AI changed the speed of product development. It did not change the speed of research. Design generates options in hours. Engineering ships in days. By the time a traditional study lands, the decision is already made. Research keeps getting bypassed, not because the work is bad, but because the operating model was built for a tempo that no longer exists.

In Search of a Right-Brained Computer is the story of my search to find a computer for my right-brained wife. Since I'm left-brained, this was perhaps a futile attempt. Yet I pursued it. What I found was what makes right- and left-brained people ask the same questions while asking different questions. I explore each of the main questions one might ask when purchasing a computer. I then go through a computer system I designed in an attempt to design a right-brained computer. Then I analyze where it came close to meeting its mark and where it fell short.

The results will make our lives more productive, better organized, and essentially, much happier.

The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican-style government to roads. Similarly, by the third century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function.
