Applied Minds is arguably one of the most interesting, enigmatic creative/R+D/engineering firms out there, and they have a two–page web site.

How much of a skunkworks are they? Even Wikipedia, which ought to be able to just make something up if necessary, can’t get a bead on them.

The semi-personal connection here is that Bran Ferren, one of the co-founders, is the only demonstrated genius I know of who ever attended my high school. I have to imagine he found the experience as intellectually engaging as hanging out with cattle.

Thanks Brit!
