While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says, "Son, when you get to the hotel room...Call me" Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father, "Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?" "O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me" A few moments later... "Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?" O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then... Ah, call me." A few moments later...

I'm sure you'll run into some interesting tech challenges that will butt up against the natural vagaries of any discussion, so that's something to look forward too. I'll definitely be keeping tabs to see where it all goes.

]]> Comment on Visual design double bind by steve http://www.lowinertia.com/blog/2007/01/12/visual-design-double-bind/#comment-5 steve Tue, 16 Jan 2007 14:44:16 +0000 http://www.lowinertia.com/blog/2007/01/12/visual-design-double-bind/#comment-5 How design can make the world better is a tough question. I can see how great graffiti or a street poster/sticker can get people thinking. Of course, most design is commerical, and that's what most people see. Look at the "inspired" campaign that a few big companies are running. It's well designed and attention getting, and may very well be exposing people to an issue they've never thought about, namely AIDS. I'm thinking of 14-16 year olds specifically. This is obviously apocryphal, but maybe 100 people who buy a Kanye West hawked phone actually look into the whole thing and volunteer at their hospital at some point. Fill in your own verbs and nouns. Mainly, people like you and I face a choice about how to view the world, like you said. I can be a cynic, and say all design does it trick you in buying useless shit, or I can hopeful and think that the work I do moves me closer to the goals I deem worthy. I've decided to be more hopeful. How design can make the world better is a tough question. I can see how great graffiti or a street poster/sticker can get people thinking.
