*The Synthesizer Starter Kit*

I'm forever grateful to Maria Popova (@brainpicker).

She has articulated "synthesis" and "combinatorial creativity" in ways that helped me better understand what I do.

For anyone who may be interested in synthesizing, I just updated these posts:
"'So, what do you do?' An Introduction to Synthesis, Integration, Interdisciplinarity, & More"

"Metaphors, analogies, or just ways of taking principles from different disciplines and then trying to keep them in your own mental toolkit that you can apply."
