The design process is a serious business that, when done while taking yourself too seriously, can lead to disaster.  Design is NOT some kind of religion, it’s just fun and incredibly rewarding.  I suppose that’s why I enjoy design toys so much.  You just can’t  be too self absorbed when you’re designing something for a 4 year old to play with.  So . . . for the sake of my students (who sometimes think TOO much and forget how to FEEL), I’m assembling a few “bits and pieces” of inspiration that help me to remember why I began to love designing in the first place.  In most cases the sarcasm and humor are intentional.
