Here at the autodidacts we have a sophisticated workflow for turning our project ideas into reality. It’s so arcane it deserves its own branch of historiography, but we settled for an infographic:

This infographic started as a three-man drawing game (aka “napkin diagram”) over coffee. After going through almost every step it describes over the last year, it has finally escaped from Schrödinger’s Kennel. (We haven’t bought a domain name yet, but give it time; schrödingerskennel.com is hard to resist…)
