About

Exploding Plate was started by Basil Miller, in November of 2007, as an effigy of all that garbage we Americans buy. As an author, poet, and Quality Guru, Mr. Miller already had a growing frustration with the poor quality of products we American’s consume: things that just don’t last because they are made so poorly. Things that cause fires, and accidents, and heartburn.

And so it was that Mr. Miller experienced the last straw: his plate exploded as he sat down to eat breakfast one morning.

A special thanks to Tom Kyte for use of his exploded plate graphic on my site.
