  • "I like the miter saw concept and I'd like to see a proper execution of it with Thomson linear components and a much larger capacity (to differentiate it from the ubiquitous 12" sliding miter saws out there). Maybe I'm just waiting for a proper bridge saw for wood instead of tile."

  • "I'd like to note, off-topic, that 16.5 lbs is almost on the light side for a similar product - baby strollers. And yet, here is this mass supporting a full adult and considered on the beefy side. There is tons of room for improvement in strollers and it is even more perplexing since there are many premium brands that obviously put a lot of [over]design into their models. On-topic - will "Ozark Trail" be cloning this?"

  • "I'm curious how certain design elements, ones that are neutral or even detrimental to function, end up being copied across many manufacturers within a few years? It seems there are a number of cliche patterns that end up almost feeling like "standards" and not mere coincidence."

  • "Sounds like he was a "real" architect - but got very creative with the regulations. Did he otherwise do good work and charge fairly? I bet there is more to this story."

  • "Great silhouette, but as per usual the details are cliche. Do car designers have a secret GitHub where they standardize all the elements? (After all, you'd hate to be called out for having a less rococo bumper than the other guys)"

  • "If you think 4 years is slow, this design has been teasing since 2001...then again in 2011. Google for some great images; these were extremely popular concept vehicles. "

  • "Interesting idea. I'd like to see more concepts around car packaging. People are actually pretty small when you think about it. Vehicles today are getting worse and worse about interior vs exterior space. In fact I'd say deliberately so. Monster vehicles but inside your knees are propped up and you can't stretch out. So the next year the owners upgrade to an even bigger one...all the while shaking their heads at "how can people fit" into [space efficient] subcompacts."

  • "Most of my better fitted saddles work great for the first 30 minutes, then get progressively worse. But I have a theory I should test out...if I swapped out a new seat each 30 minutes I bet I could be quite comfortable for as long as I'd like.If this is true, the design challenge would be to create a saddle with a mechanical support structure that would constantly move a little bit. Like rearranging oneself in a chair, the pressure points would move around ever so slightly as the shape changed during the ride. A set of linear servos could supply the movements."

  • "My issue with it was that it wasn't a juicer. And then they forgot that the razor-and-blades business model...sold the razors cheap."
