    • I’m always surprised to see a Sacha Baron Cohen interview because I expect him to be secretive, hermetic, like Banksy.

    • Deliberately scuffing up my pants with drywall dust before driving there, to help my chances of being taken seriously.
    • The beautiful green vise I want to buy for my (future) workbench.
    • The chained-shut double-door that opens from a second-floor office out onto nothing.
    • The store’s point-of-sale-system: CRT monitors with a black-screen-green-text command-line program running on them.
