In that time I’ve found that it’s slow, beautiful and perfect.
Somewhat contrary to the need for speed that is within most of us, right? Read more about how he survived that first week.
This is what it might look like, from at least one interpretation. It was developed by the guys who designed Popular Science iPad magazine:
