check out this NASA movie with probably the most ID-like work: “From the Earth to the Moon: Epiosde 5 - Spider” It’s all about the designing of the Lunar Module (the ship that the astronauts landed on the moon).

Japan loves vending machines (jidoohanbaiki, I think). Food, books, clothes — get it all by pushing a button. this post shows the ubiquitous you can wear a vending machine suit and blend right in (kind of) and shows the human-powerd vending machines. It shows the obsession to its illogical extreme on post.
According to the New York Magazine:
“Basically we’re going to have two mimes. A male and a female mime inside the machine. And the public can see them through glass. When you get there, we’re going to have Uniqlo reps dressed in the silver bodysuits. And they’re going to hold a thermograph scanner — think of an airport security machine. The thermographer identifies cold spots in your body. After you go through that, you go to the vending machine and push a button and the mimes are going to do a synchronized choreographed routine and then your outfit comes out.”
they call “Thermographer?”
Tokyo Design Festival design shows the kicked off today and core will be on the ground over the next few days seeking out the freshest work and talent.
Network Citizens maps the key fault-lines that people and organisations will have to address in the future world of work. Not doing so puts at risk the very qualities we had invested in them: openness, innovation, collaboration and meritocracy. Since networks can act for good or ill, incubating the talents and ideas of the many, or promoting the interests of the few, the need for a new set of responsibilities is growing. If we are network members, we must be network citizens, too.

“Ford and Honda’s next-gen instrument clusters feature trees (a vine in Ford’s case) that grow more lush as drivers learn to hypermile — the fine art of maximizing fuel economy. Leaves grow like crabgrass in springtime if you use a light touch on the accelerator and go easy on the brakes. Drive like Jimmie Johnson and they’ll wither faster than General Motors stock.
The idea, says Honda VP Dan Bonawitz, is “to help drivers improve their efficient driving skills by making the hybrid experience more fun and rewarding.”
The article also includes reflections by Clifford Nass, which some of you with a background in HCI or interaction design might know from the lovely book he wrote together with Byron Reeves several years ago: “The Media Equation: How People Treat Computers, Television, and New Media Like Real People and Places”

Is ‘Good Design’ an asphyxiating dogma?
Design is a peculiar creative process and today, one could argue that this dogma, generally predicated on longstanding ideas of ‘rightness’ and ‘beauty’ is choking the profession down, and worse yet, stifling its creativity as it faces some truly great problems—problems which if handled with new thinking and true creativity, will define the substance, practice and contribution of a generation of designers.
this is ugly design i ever saw, and save the design.
