Paul is always full of ideas, and I'm always feeling like they need a little focus... If I was hit by a hurricane, I'd welcome a shipment of something more appropriate for the situation, like Marianne Cusato's design: the Katrina Cottage. And to bring this back to software, I think her writing is also very inspiring for the software architecture. As we look with pride on the golden dome, we note that the cyma crowing the classical orders is a gutter, the beautiful frieze caps the ends of the ceiling joists, etc. When we forget these things we end up with designs that aren't functional or beautiful.
