It’s the inflation you’re not supposed to see. From toilet paper to yogurt and coffee to corn chips, manufacturers are quietly shrinking package sizes without lowering prices.

One of many steampunk control panels I’ve designed for pleasure. A couple years ago I designed 64 different variations of dial faces, so whenever I can use a gauge to fill up space, that means I can churn out another section in far less time.

I teach Shakespeare in a literature class. I encourage students to call up a college production on YouTube, or listen to a BBC radio adaptation, and read along with their script. However, I remind students that because I’m an English teacher, I’m asking them to focus on the script, not on any individual director’s production…
