On process when inputs and outputs are physical, and material transformations are well-understood.| Dave's Research Co.
This year begins with a special research project: instead of shaping software, it's brewing sake. Or at least it's washing, soaking, steaming, carrying, and otherwise manipulating large quantities of rice, then cleaning everything involved, over and over again.
