Industrial design, novel application of technology for better products, and a general nuisance to bad ideas. Always happy to be wrong and learn something new!

The next session of Offsite starts next week! There are still just a couple of slots left in my class if you are interested in learning about:

1) how to navigate your career in the corporate world
2) how to more effectively get your concept approved
3) how to set an hourly rate and write a proposal

Does anyone else take forever to get photos off their camera and share them? I took these in early Feb, only got around to lifting yesterday. Daikoku crossing shot in sigma FP.

In the 1920s the Bauhaus sought to teach people how to live in a rapidly changing world through new ideas in art, architecture & design. It wasn’t about an aesthetic, it was a way of thinking. We could use more of this way of thinking today. youtu.be/wwYZQjgUljA?...

My friend @sohididthis.bsky.social sent me this claiming the images are “100% AI generated” … sure if you ignore the literal thousands of hours of amazingly skilled animators hand drawing every frame and the genius of their leader that was just completely stolen… sure “100%” 🙄🙄🙄

Today at the Portland #teslatakedown with @niedermeyer.online & the crew. Getting out to these every Saturday has been really nice. I've made new friends & convinced some old ones to join in! Ed's Shakespeare "Ides of March" theme went hard!

This thing just dilates my pupils. I couldn’t explain it to you, but it’s just so beautiful to stare at to me.

I’d love to see a company make an “analog EV”. A simple coupe without a lot of tech. No big screen inside, just a speedometer, charge/regen gauge & a phone holder. No autonomous driving, just a steering wheel and two pedals, go and stop. #cardesign #industrialdesign #ev @patrickgeorge.bsky.social

I might use AI a lot, but I also care a damn lot about creatives owning their IP. AI laws around copyright changed recently so I put together this brief need to know for the industry. Hope it’s helpful www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-cop... #genai #design #creatives

Coming home from Japan was a hard slap.

Global entry interviewer: your name is too long I’m not pronouncing that.
Ok cool thanks for that fun welcome home

Followed by Some big Bay Area selfishness energy at baggage control. Y’all just got back from Tokyo did you learn nothing?

Not thrilled to leave this place to go home, but I’ll be back soon

Just checking in. How are the designers doing? Can we flood the feeds with well thought out stuff to make life for people better to counter act all the vitriol in America today? #design #industrialdesign

Once of the things I love why car design and culture in Japan: they know when they nailed it, and just celebrate that ad infinitum in a way that’s legit affordable and beautiful. #cardesign #tokyoautosalon

When I get a chance, I’ll do a proper summary of Tokyo auto salon but for now all you need to know is: the D1 demo was incredible and I’m still buzzing from it

It all fits on our carry-all smartphones these days which is great progress.
But you have to admit, we've lost something in the process.
