On Good Design

Good design is something that is desperately needed and extremely hard. We are abounded by examples of bad design so it is nice every now and then to see an example of an old problem being solved by an elegant design. The stairCase is just such an example. To get to the top of a tall book case, why not turn the bottom shelves into pull out stairs.

For more information on good design and its difficulties, I recommend reading The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman.

Liberals: please stop sucking

I really want to vote for you. Please give me a reason, any reason. Just say something!

So far the only person out and actually campaigning like they care is Harper. If it race is between a no show and Harper... well I may not vote.

I think the link is typical of how the liberal campaign has gone so far, a day late and a dollar short.
