"I guess all of the Ukuleles made in Hawaii are technically offshore even though Hawaii is our 50th state. "

"I'm surprised that the blades weren't designed to reversible in a socket so you could at least have a flat and philips driver together."

"Where did they get the figure of 1.3 billion visually impaired. The WHO reports 285 million.https://www.who.int/blindness/publications/globaldata/en/#:~:text=Globally%20the%20number%20of%20people%20of%20all%20ages,the%20first%20cause%20of%20blindness%20is%20cataract%20%2851%25%29."

"1Interesting that the only seated rider in the video is on a different frame, every other rider is standing.. The frame looks inherently week at the seat unless flexing at that point is somehow spring suspension."

"And, this just adds to the downfall of HD. At each opportunity, they keep going backward. "

"I ordered a new Boxster in the summer of 1997, delivered November of 97 as a 98 model. It, contrary to the video, was built in Zuffenhausen. In 1998 the production was a Valmet. Boxsters produced in 96 and 97 as 97 and 98 models years were real Porsches made in Germany. Don't believe everything you hear."

"1Very sad to hear of Ralphs's passing. Design's loss. I first met Ralph at George Nelson's office over 40 years ago. Nelson, who was a very good writer, thought Ralph's perception and humor were best ever. I hadn't spoken to Ralph for many years -- this is a sad reminder to keep in touch. Rest in Peace."

on: Remembering Ralph Caplan
" I'm sorry, I don't understand the value. If you take a vintage car and strip it to a shell, then replace the entire chassis, drive train, electronics, glass, upholstery, what have you preserved, the vintage look? In this case, at an extraordinary cost, you are left with a brand new all-be-it vintage-looking car. I certainly don't have a problem with what ICON is doing, I quite like it, but don't equate it with preserving the past, being environmentally sensitive, or building a better car than a current production car of the same cost. "

"Thanks for finding this interview. I know that I'm dating myself but my first job out of school ( 1972) was at Raymond Loewy / Wm Snaith in NYC. It was a very large office at the time, maybe 80 to 100 designers. I was in the Industrial Design department working on the last bits of Skylab, a City Bus for the DOT, and the beginnings of a new Presidential helicopter. What a great, real, education for a young designer just out of grad school. I loved every minute of it. Mr. Loewy's hair wasn't quite as white. "

"Wait until they try to do this at scale - an adjusted formula, monthly, per user, WOW. "

"OMG, who cares?? Software is just a tool. Use what works. There are always 10 ways to get something done. Soft doesn’t make a designer any more than a camera makes a photographer. "
