aa/t13 is a nascent information project that is intended to foster the habit of looking more closely at everyday objects. Creating this habit makes it less likely that the objects' origin and history "gets lost." In this way, I believe that we can learn to make decisions, especially consumer decisions, that do not inadvertently promote atrocities in some part of the world that we cannot see.

I am a proud supporter of the Open Source community, and of all cooperative and collaborative endeavors. If you, or your group have been struggling with information technology, or with getting organized and communicating on projects, please contact me.

On our planet there really is no "away" where you can conveniently throw your trash, and where a thing starts is as important as where it ends. This is usually called a *cradle to grave* philosophy, and it is a widely applicable philosophy to which I adhere.
