It can be argued that knots are utilitarian within FreeGeek's space:
- We're a nonprofit with a limited budget.
- Our space is VERY complicated, with lots of improvised organization techniques.
- We have a lot of "rope". (ie. insulated wire of many different thicknesses)
TODO
- The top of the poster should say "If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot."
- Use power cables for the "rope"
- larger size is more illustrative
- we have several different colors, so it can be used to depict two distinct ropes for bends
- clearly depict which is the standing end versus the working end
- TODO: what's the best way to do this? Just make the standing end really long? Or is there a way to depict "whipping", and thus indicate one end as "really an end", instead of "we cut off the standing end, but it's really meant to depict 'imagine this rope continues for a ways'"?
- Put it in the classroom. This is precisely what the classroom is for — education.
