sense (n) feel, perceive, understand, comprehend c.1400, "faculty of perception," also "meaning or interpretation" ... from sentire "perceive, feel, know," maya (n) : Sanskrit माया : ma (not) + ya (that) the illusion that the world can be seen only one way I do design research at SonicRim, where, amongst other things I have fun, make sense of (analyse) the world (maya), pretend to be wise, and drink enormous quantities of tea in the process. This blog collects some observations I couldn't keep contained in my head.
