> Most Mac utilities add a feature. These five change a channel instead: windows park off-screen until you want them, a tilt of your head scrolls the page, strobing gets caught before it renders, and a single box stands in for the whole apparatus of finding and making a note.

> Five things that arrive unfinished on purpose. An instrument you play by waving at it, a synthesizer that plays houseplants, a pair of radios that work where your phone gives up, a pen that draws in candy, and a saw that cuts cardboard but not fingers — each one asks for an afternoon before it does anything at all.

> Preservation usually looks like an institution. Sometimes it looks like strangers pushing roses into a door every January, or bell ringers levering a one-tonne stone over so the Devil stays put another year. Six places kept going by somebody's decision — a few of them anonymous, one of them annual.

> The usual trade is beauty against use, and each of these declines it. Calder's chess pieces are small sculptures you are supposed to move; the cat tree is furniture first and cat second; the bubble car parks nose-first into the kerb; the carry capsule is symmetrical enough to hang on a wall and tough enough not to.
