Almost have a new deck! I really like how the BBQ “cubby” has turned out. Considered putting a small fridge where the cabinet is, but once we rent this place out, felt like a potential maintenance hassle. Can always put beers and meat in an ice tub!

Innovator’s Dilemma and Apple

Funny that the Apple Newton was one of the examples he gave of a large company trying to create a disruptive product that meets consumer demands (massively market researched and focus grouped).
