this thing is amazing, does it do any thing like double as binoculars?
Ha! You look beautiful, like a Zen temple at noon.

This is awesome! There's several things going seriously right here:

1) Despite being a random assortment of who-knows-what it's all coordinated with an amazing color scheme.

2) The picture here of it is very well exposed and composed making it really easy to see all the bits and also show off the color scheme.

3) The temple layout is teh awesomeness!

Serious +faves from me. :nod:

Thank you, and yes, of course, everything is greatly magnified inside.

Thanks my friend. I love that reflection. I'm practicing to be a zen temple at noon. Sometimes I stop practicing and then it's tea time in the temple.

I appreciate your taking the time to provide some genuinely thoughtful feeback. It's so helpful. Sometimes somone will say one small thing to me, but its just what I need to hear. Then voila! growth is upon me.

I might note that there's nothing random about the assortment of who-knows-what's beneath the color scheme.

You wear it well.
I just don't like faving something without being able to properly express why. ^^;

As for the who-knows-whats, I can identify many of them as recognized symbols of a profession or belief, but some (like the boxing glove and the Gandalf/miscellaneous wizard) seem to be separate from this trend. So I had assumed that the larger part of them were selected to be simply part of a non sequitur approach to design. Is there intended to be a tying element between the bits and bobbles of the Universal Head Case?

Walking the fine line of keeping the poem open while still addressing your question, I suppose I might begin by noting that a universal head case should be universal in its means and application.

These archetypes flow through the mind of a globalizing world. Indeed, they emerge in children's toys and bits of cultural refuse. They are externalizations of an inner dialogue. To follow the thread is to decode or dissolve in the web of Babylon. The material culture that surrounds us is far from random. It is a most beautiful and terrible reflection of the many leveled inner workings of the human experience. Bring it to order, and Master Mercury shall bestow his divine message upon you.

Thanks again for the engagement.
