:: the secret language of surface in product design | by gray holland
What Surface Continuity is Quietly Telling Us
“Now here’s the rub: How many of these are appropriately utilizing the form language of utility and how many are not? How many are tangentially sculpted because of the tools of creation (tangent-restricted solid modeling software)? How many are consciously designed to produce a relevant user experience? The DeWalt drill of course is right on the mark, the Emeco Navy Chair absolutely shouts utility, and all of the Dyson vacuums are Tangent porn as far as I can tell–functional engineering taken to a styled perversity–but it is the hoards of cell phones, MP3 players, computers, and multitudes of consumer electronics that lack much distinction or differentiation from each other.”

TAGS
We can tag our posts. This will be very helpful when categorizing links. For general reference on the site. And for people looking for related material. The tag words will appear on the right side on our site.
SCHEDULED PUBLISHING
Also we can now schedule publishing. Lets say… one day you find a couple of cool links, and we want our site to stay fresh. Then you can save your daft and enter a time when those should be published. The server takes care of the rest…

Dieter Rams, designer – Cold War Modern from Victoria and Albert Museum
50 years ago, record players didn’t look like machines. They looked like old-fashioned, brown wood furniture. But in 1956, Dieter Rams’s SK4 record player, nicknamed Snow White’s Coffin, changed all that.
