Do I want an Apple Ipad? The short answer is yes. But there is a splash of no in there which will prevent me from buying it. I am somewhat of a technophile, so in that respect i always want the new gadget/gizmo of the time. But the reason I can resist the IPad is because it is not as well thought out as i was hoping. True, its a cool step toward what i want to see but it falls short somehow. Think of how limited you are with no multitasking. That's not really a computer, that is literally a big ipod touch. Its also not a computer because you're limited with the OS. All laptops, phones, netbooks, even Apple's ipod nano, have cameras now. To quote Gob from Arrested D, "Come on!" lets get a camera on there. It would have barely increased the cost at all. I don't really care about the no flash. With all the apps i can still do everything i want. For me its no big deal, especially if widespread use of HTML5 is right around the corner. Thats really it for my problems. Fix those and I'm in. I might even be in now, but the technophile in me says get the best version. So I would be buying the 64gb 3g version, which is 900+ a 30$ 3g data plan, and my unbiased rational side says that there are too many problems with it to spend that much. Maybe I'll see how it evolves after 3 years and then pick one up.
I don't get, what im calling, "runway fashi
on." Not that I really get everyday fashion either, but the latter makes a little bit of sense. But runway fashion...? I'm not sure if the purpose is intention, influence, the concepts, to ignore functionality as a statement, all of the above. I just don't know what to take from these outfits. Are they supposed to be just for fun, not worn outside of the runway? Is it like a concept car where we are just supposed to say "Hey, super keen!" Which is how I interact with it. I'm not putting down fashion, I just realize that it may be artistically way over my head. Which is one of the reasons I sometimes enjoy looking at design shows. Especially industrial design, mixing super functionality with beauty. Like these bamboo serving platters. 
I think i get this type of design a lot more. I have read that the concept of the clothing line above was well defined geometric shapes and three dimensional elements. I kind of see that in the pictures. I also realize that this is just a small representation of the entire designers line where the concept may be more easily seen. I had to read this though, I definitely didn't pick it up on my own.
Also in the world of engineering design, take a look at N.C. State's newest invention thanks to Dr. Rabiei. Steele foam, how cool! Go Wolfpack!
