On Mass-Produced Signs at Political Conventions
2008-08-28 21:25:00 Last night, while watching coverage of the Democratic Convention, I noticed how yet again, the organizers were passing around signs featuring the name of the current speaker, then it was those vertical signs with “Biden.” The night before it had been signs with “Hillary,” and the night before that “Michelle.” I recall the first political conventions ...

UN Conventions Unintended Consequences & HR
2008-07-06 20:45:00 Image via Wikipedia Commission on Narcotic Drugs, Vienna, 10-14 March 2008 Thematic debate on the follow-up to the twentieth special session of the General Assembly: general overview and progress achieved by Governments in meeting the goals and targets for the years 2003 and 2008 Amongst the usual and expected flatulence of the UN Office of Drug Control about the drug war success there are many gems that highlight the failings of the UN Conventions, these include....Unintended ConsequencesThe benefit of hindsight is the insight it offers us to evaluate the present and enrich future policy. Looking back over the last century, we can see that the control system and its application have had several unintended consequences – they may or may not have been unexpected, but they were certainly unintended.

BMW CHALLENGES THE CONVENTIONS OF TRADITIONAL CAR DESIGN WITH ITS G.I.N.A.
2008-07-02 15:24:00 Falling under the category of "2008's Sickest Design Concept", BMW's GINA Light Visionary Model project (note to Chris: you need a better name for this, talk to Jobs) which stands for "Geometry and Functions in 'N' Adaptations" basically means that Bimmer designers we're given free reign to go buck wild and really think outside the box when it comes to the form and function of BMW car design as it relates to the future. Chris Bangle, the Director Of Design for BMW Group really breaks it down in the video below as to why they undertook this design driven endeavor. Now don't go and get all excited on us...the images and video that you are about to see are purely conceptual and this is definitely one whip that you will not be seeing at a dealership near you anytime soon! Enjoy!

2008-05-08 04:26:00 The United States is a nation of tinkerers. We build, we modify, and we extend. We like to make devices do things that they are not designed to do, just to know that we've done it. This spirit was alive and well over the weekend at the San Mateo County Expo at the Maker Faire Bay Area. The Maker Faire was an absolute blast. I heartily recommend it to geeks of all kinds.

Site designers build components of a wholeespecially now that users are viewing the Web as a single, integrated resource. Unfortunately, much of the Web is like an anthill built by ants on LSD.

Users strongly expect standard elements to work a certain way when they visit a new site because that's how things almost always work.Convention: About 50 to 79 percent of Websites use the same design approach. Users expect conventional elements to work a certain way when they visit a new site because that's how things usually work.Confusion: With these elements, no single design approach dominates, and even the most ...
