Excellent column! good point on how the truly useful exhibits don’t get the publicity they should.

Wow! Those are nice shoes.

Excellent blog. Thought provoking.

I think shoe producers are just better at PR than dinosaurs.

Comment on Apple Products are Beautiful by Luke

I totally agree with you on your opinion with apple products. I just recently purchased the 3rd geb iPad and I absolutely love it. I now have a complete collection of apple products including Mac book pro, iPad, iPhone, and latest iPod nano. They are so easily incorporated into my life and help keep it simple, organized, and well, beautiful. The feel of the glass to the motions of the apps, it’s all perfect. Anyways, that’s my rant of it I thought your article was great. Thank you!

Comment on Acceptable Quality? by Jason

That is a good and interesting point of view. I certainly see what you’re saying but I would however like to respond by saying that the intent is no different than Ford versus Chevy. They compare themselves to each other constantly by pointing out how they are better and how their quality is the best in the industry. If you recall several years back Toyota launched their campaign against the other guys showing how much bigger their brakes were. They showed their brake next to the competitions brake. They had other comparisons but I think I have painted the picture well enough.
The intent is to simply show a comparison so potential clients have a visual to match our claim of being high quality. I suppose if I wanted to be mean or throw our competitors under the bus I would provide the facility in which I visited and the competitors name that provided the product. I would never do that and completely agree with you that it is important to know what YOU will or will not accept as an organization.

I think it’s more important to know what YOU will or will not accept than what the competition has done. It really doesn’t matter that you’re better than the others if it’s not the best you can do. If you have the highest standards you can achieve, than that will show without pointing out how bad the other guy is.

Comment on Bad Design by Robert

I had to chuckle because it made me think back to times when I see things that drive me nuts. The misuse of words is one. They’re, their and there is probably the one that I see all over the place. On a more work related note though, poor craftsmanship and product design is what catches my eye. I can only imagine that poor design is just as frustrating.

I always wondered how Batman slipped that stuff in with just the Batmobile. It seems like he might have also needed a Bat-U-Haul or at least a Bat-Pickup.

Comment on The Lights, They Are A-Changin’ by Benjamin Rorie

Great article, Ryan. However, I’d like to make one correction: You say that 100 watt bulbs “can’t be manufactured to use 25% less energy.” In fact, they can.

To clarify the terminology, watts are a measurement of energy and lumens are a measurement of light output. A 100-watt incandescent light bulb produces about 1,500 lumens.

1,500 lumen bulbs can be (and have been) made 25% more efficient. An A-shape Halogen incandescent bulb can produce that amount of light output using only 72 watts.
