烟肉闹钟
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 |这个外形可爱的猪型闹钟是由Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini和Hsiao-huh Hsu设计的。
这个闹钟的功能不只是会发出声音让你起来，而且还有发出阵阵香味，让你难忍饥饿而起身。这阵阵香味是由Bacon发出来的。你只要把闹钟设在在你欲起身的时间十分钟前，这闹钟就会花十分钟时间来煮熟烟肉，然后发出让你起身的讯息。

和Pepsi相比，我还是比较喜欢Coca-Cola。目前Coca-Cola有一个设计一个全球通用的新可乐瓶外貌，你可以发挥你的才华好好设计一个可能会横行全球的瓶子。

门把的设计
Sunday, June 29th, 2008 |Doors come in amazing variety. Some open only if a buttton is pushed, and some don’t appear to open at all, having neither buttons, nor hardware, nor any other sign of their operation. The door might be operated with a foot pedal. Or maybe it is voice operated, and we must speak the magic phrase. (”Open SimSim!”) In addition, some doors have signs on them: pull, push, slide, lift, ring bell, insert card, type password, smile, rotate, bow, dance, or, perhaps, just ask. Somehow, when a device as simple as a door has to come with an instruction manual —— even a one-word manual —— then it is a failure, poorly designed.
—— Donald A. Norman: The Design of Everyday Things
这句话讲的很好：“Somehow, when a device as simple as a door has to come with an instruction manual —— even a one-word manual —— then it is a failure, poorly designed.”（当一扇门有说明书，就算只是一个字的说明书，那这就是失败的设计）
你们知道门有它的设计吗？
这门是拿来拉开的。
这是推才能开的门。
门把的设计就能让人知道这门应该拿来推还是拉开。

简单就好
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 |Devices in the home have developed some related problems: functions and more functions, controls and more controls. I do not think that simple home appliances — stoves, washing machines, audio and television sets — should look like Hollywood’s idea of a spaceship control room. They already do, much to the consternation of the consumer who, often as not, has lost (or cannot understand) the instruction manual, so — faced with the bewildering array of controls and displays — simply memorized one or two fixed settings to approximate what is desired. The whole purpose of the deisgn is lost.
—— Donald A. Norman: The Design of Everyday Things
这段是讲说现在生活里很多东西越来越多功能，也越来越多控制键，可是我们会用到多少呢？
这就像最近我有位朋友用了电脑这么多年后，才知道原来Ctrl + i是可以让words里面的字变成italics的。
宾利
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 |
今天看到这辆全球只售三台的宾利车，售价美金15万，目标市场是迪拜、纽约和莫斯科
只三台车目标市场竟然是三个地方？看来谁在街上遇到这辆车，真会觉得酷到爆了！
第一次看到照片，我真的以为是玩具，有幸见到真车的话，会惊到合不拢嘴吧……
蜜蜂健康侦探器
Friday, March 7th, 2008 |这是由Susana Soares提出的设计概念。Soares说由于蜜蜂对气味特别敏锐，可以透过这个仪器来对你吐出的气来测量你的健康指数。
昨天在实验室里和其它人讨论到为何有人同时修读艺术和科学或其它科目与科学的双文凭。他们说这就是显示这些人没做出一个决定。我觉得不是。谁说艺术和科学不能并存呢？就像说如果没有当初的哲学，我们现在也不会用着电脑，也就没有科学了。这世界上很多事情看起来是没有相关的，可是却都事事相关。
