Think of Creating a Language Rather than a Form
2008-07-23 16:31:00 Heard in a fictional design studio near you. Me: Yo man, how is it going? Designer: Great! I'm just sketching/developing/refining this concept. Me: Cool, so how do they look? Designer: Here they are... Me: Hmm...so what are we looking at here? Designer: Ah...I'm inspired by [insert suitable object] and creating this to match [insert product], but then to make it different, I'm using [insert line description] to create [insert dynamic] between these two elements... Me: But, it does not look anything like your inspiration nor is it logical to what we want to do here? Designer: Eh...what? Me: Ok, basically what are you trying to communicate with your design? Sound familiar?

Steve Kubby: “States’ Rights” is an Anti-Libertarian Concept
2008-06-30 17:01:00 This was posted on the Last free voice today. I like steve kubby I voted for him at the Denver Convention for VP. Steve Kubby: “States’ Rights” is an Anti-Libertarian Concept The following is published with the permission of the author, Steve Kubby. Steve Kubby is, of course, a highly respected longtime Libertarian activist, a former candidate for Governor of California, and a popular 2008 Libertarian presidential candidate. “States Rights” is an Anti-Libertarian Concept By Steve Kubby The concept of “FEDERALISM” is properly used to describe a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between the federal government and the states. In contrast, the term “STATES’ RIGHTS” is a fraudulent and profoundly ANTI-Libertarian concept that has no other purpose but to deceive and rob us of our natural, inalienable, inseparable, non-transferable rights as human beings. The Ninth Amendment says: “The numeration in the Constitution, of certa...

Wyatt Turner’s stunning Battle AX Concept Bike
2008-06-09 10:10:00 Wyatt Turner is a master concept designer whose first attempt at bike design has come off with flying colors. The Battle AX Concept Bike reveals his insightful technical prowess and mastery over CAD. Though the bike elements in the design itself look a little raw, the concept looks like a good old-fashioned monster bike with overwhelming wheels that overpower the look of the entire bike lending it a lot of muscle while the body of the bike’s structure itself is anything but lean. Though the lack of a powerful handlebar evokes a little bit of anxiety regarding control of the bike itself, the overall design more than satisfies thrill-hungry bike fans with its ruggedness.

Concept Solar Powered CellPhone!
2008-06-08 16:59:00 Great concept, but where are the solar cells? It’s got all the basic stuff we’ve come to expect from our mobiles; powerful 5 megapixel camera with built-in software for editing and uploading to a photo album, slide-out touch keyboard with tactile feedback, and a nice big touchscreen front and center. What makes this concept unique is parts of the phone are made from a chemically based thin solar skin to charge the battery when exposed to any kind of light. We’ve recently seen patents from companies like Apple detailing this exact thing. via yankodesign 5 megapixel camera, Apple, cell phones, Consumer, Cool, Design, Earth, Gadgets, keyboard, patents, photo album, Solar, solar cells, tactile feedback, touchscreen, uploading
A TT Concept, The Million Dollar Bike and Something Else
2008-06-07 22:14:00 1. The recent edition of the RBA Mag featured a section on a future time trial bike concept. As the RBA staff looked back at time trial bikes from the last 20 years or so, they were left wondering what the future might hold.So here's their take on the future, among which are hydraulic disc brakes, integrated everything, electronic shifting and an imaginative internal drinking system for the rider. Take a look...2. Big thing on the news right now is that Dutch bike maker Koga Miyata has built the ultimate bike for track champion, Theo Bos for his Olympic run. Watch a Reuters based video of the bike here. It costs a little over 580,000 Euros. Since the dollar is sucking bad, if you do the math, that number comes around to 1 million dollars.Bike with the lowest air resistance in the world??From what I read, this bike was in the making for 3.5 years or so, during which they ran multiple wind tunnel tests and hired folks who had previously worked on the Ariane 5 Space rocket progra...

Scion Unveils Hako Coupe Concept
2008-06-04 06:22:00 Any hope that Scion would be revealing the next iteration of the tC, or a clean-sheet sports coupe with which to replace it, were dashed this afternoon in New York when the wraps were pulled off the Hako Coupe Concept. The Hako is essentially a Scion xB that's lost a couple of doors and gained a massive schnoz, a seriously upright windshield and some highly stylized accents. Scion's PR people insist that the coupe's design is inspired by the "emergence of American vintage style among young Tokyo trendsetters," which may be true, but Scion's veep, Jack Hollis' remark that the Hako "is the sporty version of a box." Oxymoronic? We think so.As with most of Scion's concepts, the Hako is a combination of form and functionality, with an emphasis on living the Scion life that the brand has fought hard to establish. As such, there's a focus on lifestyle elements that find their way inside, with storage crevices for magazines and mobile phones, flat-screen monitors and a videogame-insp...

Following the debut of the Scion Hako Coupe Concept Car at the New York Auto Show, the new Scion Hako Coupe Concept Car has been the topic of heated debate on the internet regarding the unique design and somewhat unique styling.Personally, I am reminded, when I look at the Scion Hako Coupe Concept, of a milk truck that would be driven by the Weebles milkman.;) Don't get me wrong, I love some of the Scion offerings. The TC coupe is one of the best values in the entire car industry and I loved the super-square version of the Scion XB before they redesigned it and rounded the corners.;)As far as the Scion Hako Coupe Concept Car goes, I am pretty sure that if the new Scion Hako Coupe makes it into production, it will see some changes.Tags: scion hako, video, trends,...

The concept of borrowing money and its importance Posted By : Jacob Georges
2008-06-01 04:32:00 Many people do not realize how important the concept of borrowing money is to the economy. For most people borrowing money is just an easy way to get a new car or buy a house but for the country economy it is much more. Setting financial goals helps direct financial planning. Examples of financial goals are: "To retire at age 50 with a personal net worth of $800,000 American," or "To buy a house in 3 years paying a monthly mortgage servicing cost that is no more than 25% of my gross income". It is not uncommon to have several goals, some short term, and some long term. Read more about finance.
