I've gotten a lot of questions about this endeavor: puzzled and probing, curious and dismissive.  I've created a page for feedback sent by email - people have raised compelling issues and applied Fix to a range of scenarios.  Thanks for sending me your thoughts and suggestions.

I find it interesting that my friends with money define the experiment as about spending money; one of them explained Fix as making a project out of my poverty.  My artist friends, on the other hand, envision me going to great lengths to make things myself or achieving some kind of enlightenment through discipline and careful consideration of every move.  And then there's my mom, a great re-user, who takes the practical view: she mailed me this when I noted I didn't have the right size travel bag for my soap and shampoo.
