Learning to love the atom

I love Gene's articles because they give us a slice of life in past eras. As a child of the atomic era I remember the food caches and emergency preparations in the Bremerhaven, Germany military base.

I come from a chemical and nuclear engineering background and eventually chucked it all to become a painter, photographer and printmaker. My current passion is the esoteria of color theory and management. My immediate response to the icons was straightforward, that they were like the elements in the periodic table and that the icons were a clever idea.
