Junk Drawer Black Friday - Bad By Design

PrintHappy shopping day.
Here is a little rant about badly designed products: I have an electric light in my office (on the ceiling) that is the worst design ever. And it wasn't some cheap crap, it was very expensive.
The little halogen bulb inside is almost impossible to get out, and I have broken the old one at least 2 times to even get it out. Then stepped on the broken glass splinters of course. When you try to mount it back on while standing on a step or a ladder, there literally comes a moment when you expect the little instructions flyer to say "and now, please grow a third hand". Because in that moment you are holding a screwdriver for a tiny screw (only workable with an electric one to have any chance), a glass on the outside that is only attached to the base via that tiny screw and will crash down and shatter into a million pieces at any moment, and holding up the lamp. Ridiculous.
I’m sure the designer has only constructed that lamp on his PC or at best sitting at a desk. Never tried it above his head or even just on a wall. I would want that guy to not only have to pay back the money for this job, but also get his degree deferred retroactively until he has improved his creation. My simple yet slightly inelegant solution: Clear scotch tape to attach the glass to the lamp. Only needed until the screw is in, but I just left it there.
I also love turnstiles at airports that you can't get through with luggage. The one place where you can expect almost everyone to have luggage. E.g. at Charles de Gaulle. Amazing. It pays off to camp there for a while and see how other people are trying to get over that obstacle. I have seen couples hand it over quite elegantly, and business men shot-putting their bags over before they went after it. Or the the old "I'm through and can't get back".
Overall more and more companies care about good design and test it with consumers. But it's still easy to find more than enough bad design with an increase in products and pressure on costs. I'm sure you possess or know things that are horribly designed. If you are unlucky you have bought one today - or will do so - on your shopping spree. Working quite extensively with product innovations in the past, I always like to hear those stories. Or do you have things that you love because they are so simple to use that a child or a stressed out adult could do it, without reading the manual?
For creating, getting and delivering well designed products and services, I e.g. can recommend these books and sources (I have no financial incentive from any of those materials):
- "The Art of Innovation", by Tom Kelley (founder of IDEO)
- Also "The Ten Faces of Innovation" by the same author and "Thoughtless Acts?", a great photo book by Jane Fulton Suri, another IDEO employee and expert for observing real humans (mis-)use products and their environment
- Cards to flip through to stimulate your ideas. E.g. the IDEO "Method Cards"; the "Creative Whack Pack" and the "Innovative Whack Pack" by Roger von Oech.
- "Designing Interactions", by Bill Moggridge (for design of interfaces, electronic devices, etc.)
- "Why Are You Creative", by Hermann Vaske
- "Making Innovation Work, by Davila, Epste in, Shelton (managing an innovation process)
- "The Killer Innovation Podcast", by Phil McKinney (HP, "killer innovation questions")
- Most stuff Target sells
- Most stuff Apple sells
- A paper notebook or other repository to collect all your good ideas (I love Moleskines, but anything works)
- Your own eyes and hands and experiences

Oh Norski
I hate stuff that is hard to use ….it is one of my biggest pet peeves. I bought a video Camera and it is an example of both sides of the coin…the hardware itself is “so easy a caveman could use it” ….but the software that came with the camera??? The worst piece of crap ever written…it doesn’t even allow you to direct what folder the finished product ends up in …can you imagine? I finished a video and literally couldn’t find it on my computer…couldn’t find the folder it ended up in …..what a load of crap

Oh by the way
Had a great thanksgiving ….right up until my wife decided to fall down a 4" step in my sister’s garage ….and sprained her ankle ….I had to take her to the Emergency Room. On the plus side, they got her in and out within an hour ….I then took her home and went on a scavenger hunt for an open Pharmacy …..I found one on the 2nd try. Wonder of wonders they filled that scrip for Vicodin in about 12 min (amazing) and only charged me $2.56 (even though they aren’t on our prescription plan) …so all in all not too bad considering. So I was back home by about 7:30pm ….but no leftovers (they were still all at my sister’s house).

hope she is ok
was it a case of tryptophan overdose? Did she get woozy on too much bird? In any case, she likely deserves some pampering so I suggest you attend to her every whim.
Much less excitement for my TGD. However Mom said she didn’t have time to bake any lefse so the collective family groan went out upon the pre-dinner news. Then as plates were getting filled up at the table mom brings out two heaping plates of lefse as a surprise. Not funny.
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
She is fine....and getting pampered as is her right
however …she has to hop to get to the bathroom..hehe…..I told i would run to the pharmacy and get her a bedpan if she wanted ….she was horrified…which was my intent

Gotta get her some crutches. Whatever Andre Miller’s ankles are made of, mine are the polar opposite. After about the fiftieth time I sprained my ankle, I just ponied up for my own pair. I got sick of going/sending people to the store to borrow them…

actually we have crutches too...haven't used them for 10yrs
so I just got back from getting a set of new pads…should be good to go. W too have had multiple sprains so we know the drill

Well, that sounds like an adventurous holiday
Sprains and crutches are a drag, though I’m glad it wasn’t more serious. Hope the recovery time is short.
(Yo, Ms. 92, some advice: Milk it for all it’s worth.)
BTW
I normally put up our xmas lights on Thanksgiving (while the wife cooks) but…since we went somewhere else to eat this year (first time in 10years) I will be doing this today …yay for good weather. I also have this deal that plays music anytime the lights are on …..this is for you Ann…and it blinks all the strings of light to the beat of the music….which it awesome

interesting averages per 36 minutes:
Bayless leads the team in scoring per 36 minutes at about 19 points, even though his PER has fallen below 15. He also leads in FTA per 36. Unfortunately, he has bigger foul problems than Oden, averaging 7.7 fouls per 36 minutes.
Greg Oden’s per 36 minute averages: 17pp36, 12rp36, and 3.6bp36 while shooting 64% and 79% from the line. Most notably: 6 fouls per 36 minutes. He only averages 4 fouls per game in 24 minutes of action, if only he could stay on the floor. Greg also leads the team in PER by a wide margin with a score of 23.5, next is Dante at around 20(small sample), followed by Roy at 18.5, Aldridge at 17.7, and my boy Rudy at 17.0.
Discounting Dante due to a very small sample size, Rudy is 2nd on the team in true shooting percentage and effective field goal percentage, Oden leads in both categories by a good margin.
Blake is 3rd in minutes played, behind Roy and Aldridge. Only Juwan Howard has a lower PER…

I've had multiple problems recently as dougall noted.
First it was showing with just basic HTML, no nifty front page or scripting being done. Reinstall didn’t fix it. It finally went away overnight one day.
Now, I’m seeing signs of the page loading slowly. Sometimes the page will load but the fanposts won’t appear without a refresh.
What version of Chrome are you using?
I am using 4.0.223.16. I think that I seeing the basic HTML problem that you mentioned. Everything is in a column on the left side. This has been impacting ever SBN site that I have looked at in Chrome.
I eventually removed all the cookies and temp files and uninstalled Chrome
Then installed the dev (pre-beta) version, which is 4.0.249.11. Sometime after that, it finally fixed itself.
Google also asks why you’re uninstalling. I specifically explained why, so that perhaps if they get a few complaints, they’ll investigate it.
I'm not sure it's your browser
Sometimes my page has trouble loading and fanposts disappear too (it’s been bad this week in particular) and I’m using Firefox. SBN seems to be vulnerable to wackiness — I regularly have problems here but not elsewhere.
For what it’s worth, I just did a test drive using Chrome and had no problems.
The issues only occur when I try it out with Chrome
Firefox works fine. I refuse to test it out with IE
Bizarre
I bet you wake up tomorrow morning and it works just fine. By the way, I’ve written the SBN tech folks and they’re pretty responsive.

I should have told you about going the back way by taking Exit 278 instead of 271, would have saved you a lot of trouble.

278 is the Aurora/Donald exit
take a right off of the exit and follow that road until you get to Case Road. Take a left on Case and follow it until you get to St. Paul Highway intersection. Take a left and you will go up this little hill thing, and then immediately hit a 4 way stop on Arbor Grove Road. Take a left on Arbor Grove and follow that until you get to a road called Crosby Road — it will be on your left. Take a left onto Crosby and go until you get to Arney Road — Take a right onto Arney and then follow it until you hit the outlet mall.
It’s way easier than it looks/sounds and it saves a bunch of time if there is a lot of traffic on the freeway.

Doing our Thanksgiving dinner today, got in the habit of doing it on Friday so
that our kids didn’t have to choose between their plans and ours, and having TG day to just relax and not do much is pretty cool.
Bad design is one of my pets rants. My family can’;t begin to count the times I’ve started off a tirade with “I can’t believe they paid someone to design that!”
The examples are too numerous to count. My favorite is a 1000 dollar camera that had a tricky little push pull release toggle made of flimsy plastic that was supposes to lock in/relaease the memory card. It broke the first time I used. Oh the howls of outrage that this plastic piece of crap was holding up the use of a perfectly good camera. The upshot was that I took it to the camera shop, asked them to remove it entirely and I now insert and remove the memory card using – wait for it – my fingers. Holy crap. Who could have imagined that humans could use their opposable thumbs to grasp a memory card and remove it.
My next favorite goes back several years. 1976. I was living in appallachia and had a 35 mile mountainos drive one way to work. I bought a brand new dodge power wagon, four wheel drive. No nasty weather was going to keep me from work. Or the bars.
The only problem was that the curve in the windshield exceed the curve in the wiper blade with the result that the tip of the wi[per blade rested about 1/8th of an inch off the glass. Therefore everytime it sleeted or snowed, which was just about every day from October to May in central Pennsylvania, an ice ball would form at the tip off the blade, lifting the blade off the glass, meaning thaat about every five minutes visilbility would drop to zero. Stop truck, remove iceball from wiper blade, chisel ice off window while traffic roars by spewing salt and spray all over you. Five minutes later, repeat.
It drove me insane. Nothing could fix it, not new blades or increased tensioning nothing. I moved out state a couple of years later, had I kept living there I’d probably be institutionalized by now.

^^which saddens me, because I've been Dell since I bought my first laptop when I was like 11
I loved that thing. The Dell Smartstep 200N. I shredded so much paper to get that thing. $5 bucks an hour….the computer was $1100. A lotta’ work, but it was worth it.

I seriously did
David Lee is actually a really good player in 2k10 and I’ve gotten good at hitting him for the layup and Robinson/Hughes for the open 3s.
My player averaged 9 points and 11 dimes a game in 5 minute quarters.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Actually no
Which is part of why I’m best as a PG, dunking (and FTs) are hard on a keyboard.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I created a 6'9" SF in the LeBron mold, except with a giant fro
I got drafted by the pistons and they traded Tayshaun away so i could get some more PT. Problem is that we run way too many isos for Ben Gordon and as a result our offense sucks.
I think my player is averaging 20 ppg, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
I am best as a PG
Because I have control over the ball. And frankly, the way I think about basketball, I would have been a PG if I had been a good player. I naturally am able to see the openings in defense.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
My guy is like a point forward
the tough part is getting the ball from Stuckey and Gordon haha

Him and Johnny Flynn are the easiest PGs to play against

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I love the My Player mode too!
I’m a PG for the Nets. Fortunately my Nets are doing much better than the real Nets. I’d suggest getting a 360 controller for your PC, it feels so much better than trying to play on the keyboard. If you do get a controller make sure it’s a wired one, or else you will also have to buy the wireless adapter for your PC.

probably PC
1) there is potential for better graphics than on the consoles
2) usually for games like Fallout there are a bunch of user mods made that you can download and install to customize it/make the game experience better (I remember Oblivion had a bunch of mods that improved the texture graphics or the lighting, as well as fun ones like adding new weapons, quests, etc.)

Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
I've started reading Simmons' Book of Basketball
Wow that thing is big. And I’m surprised that on the first few pages he admits that Boston is/was a pretty racist sports city.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
And now that I'm done slapping Boston on the wrist...
I will glorify every thing about it for the next 400 pages.
My team went to the playoffs in my first year.
Of course. It's his book.
When I write one, The Garden will only reference the Rose Garden and not the T.D. Banknorth Center or the MSG.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
I next plan to write something like “who moved my cheese” and make a ton of money off gullible managers and companies by re-writing fables that Aesop and Turner already had down better than any modern bestseller. And a family collaboration with bedtime stories.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
And he has in the past has admitted the Boston racism angle
he has quoted a section from Bill Russell’s autobiography where Bill mentions that if Paul Revere was still around he would say “The [insert racial slur] are coming! The [insert racial slur] are coming!”
The stores around here were surprisingly bearable today
Though honestly we didn’t see anything really interesting while shopping. Our total haul was ten dollars worth of DVD’s.
It was one boring trip out.
It felt like a lot of stores had some mediocre merchandise, tossed it all onto shelves, dropped the prices and said “let’s see if people will waste their money on this”.
Online purchasing has been much more useful than in-person. I’ve picked up a cheap home theater computer, a blu-ray drive (my first, actually), and a new storage server. But nothing in person.
I picked up the VMWare Fusion 3. As an upgrade and with the coupon it cost me less than $35 despite some VAT as a foreign buyer. And I just learned that Apple also has a black friday-like sale today in Europe. Maybe I’ll still buy something, though not a notebook. That’s really cheaper in the US.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
One of the nice parts about Windows is that I've abandoned the need to pay for virtualization
Between the free options of Microsoft Virtual Server, the built-in Virtual PC in Windows 7, VMWare Server and Virtualbox, there’s no need to consider non-free solutions anymore.
That’s one of those areas where Windows is surprisingly advantageous.
I really wish Apple would offer a sale on the Mac Mini.
I got weak and splurged on a new iMac thanks to a 100 Euro rebate today. Though I did hold back on buying the new 27 inch with i7 processor (also there are reports about units coming DOA or with cracked screens straight from the factory). While it’s significantly faster in benchmarks, I don’t do video editing and 3D animation anymore, so there really is no use for spending an additional 500 Euro (Apple prices are ridiculous when comparing US to EU, additional taxes aren’t that high) which buys me almost half of a new one in another year or so. And I really don’t need all that screen real estate, I do watch videos on it but almost no movies. The last one held 3 years which is very long for me, but now its time has come. And I spend more time on my notebooks anyway – which I can buy cheaper in the US.

Annoyed in the hospital
Which is actually a good thing. When she has been really sick in the past, it took her a few days to even recover enough to be annoyed.
Unless some test they are doing comes back with some specific kind of infection or organ damage, she will be sent home tomorrow.. or maybe Sunday if they feel she is dehydrated enough to benefit from the extra fluids.

Will it be worse than when Leinart won in 2004?
Matt wasn’t even the best player on his own team, that was Reggie Bush.
nah because Bush didn't have a very good statistical year that year
Cedric Benson had a case as well, but Leinart probably had the best year out of all the candidates that year.
Fitz was clearly the better pick than White, and he should have won but everyone turned their ballots in early

Bama’s been called for two straight false starts, total penalty, about six inches.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I can't believe I'm about to say this
but with Blake a UFA next season and Roy liking the ball in his hands/a shooter as his wingman, would Duke’s Jon Scheyer be worth looking at? He’s shown an ability to play the point the last two season, and he’s definitely a shooter. Definitely a marginal NBA prospect, but one who could stick in the right situation – playing with a ball dominant 2 like Roy is his best chance for NBA success.
And yes, I know it’s too early to talk draft, but Duke and U Conn are making for some good TV in commercial breaks during the Iron Bowl, so it got me thinking.

Fair enough
I’m always prospecting when it comes to college ball – so far, my two favorite realistic targets for Portland are Patrick Patterson and Kyle Singler, although both will probably be gone by the time Portland gets its pick.

We only have one pick next year
Since we dumped our second rounder for Pendergraph I believe.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I like how you think - John Wall is the clear pick and KP should be fired if
he can’t make this happen. Blake and Outlaw’s contracts are expiring and worth nearly as much as RLEC – those two plus the rights to Kopponen should be enough to get the Nets to trade the pick, and maybe part with Robin Lopez to make the salaries match. Get it done KP!!

Would anybody really buy the clothing lines and perfumes of stars if they were no stars from TV or music or something like that? Do the fragrances from J-Lo & Co. smell good? Does any star really know how to design a clothing line on his or her own?

But does she know anything about creating a perfume or a clothing collection, or did she just have people who put her name and face on their already more or less finished product? She herself started out as a product of Disney and BMG.

We really would have needed Hedo to balance out Roy's selfishness. Raptors coach Triano quotes from today
- On the play of Turkoglu: “Turk’s been good, he’s very unselfish, he shares the basketball extremely well, he can score when he has to and he has been a nice fit for us.”
- Has he been at all surprised by Turkoglu: “No I think we’ve all followed his career and got to see him play quite a bit in the past. There has been no surprises. He knows how to play with different guys knows how to get everybody involved. Very unselfish, shares it, is willing to make a pass before a score if he has to and he’s been good.”
- Would they like to see him be more selfish: “Not really. I like it when he’s sharing the basketball., When he’s sharing the basketball that’s probably when we’re playing best he finds guys he gives guys a split second more to shoot it and he’s not sure to make the easy pass.”

I think Oden's the key though
If the offense is adjusted for Oden to be a bigger factor on offense (telling him to basically play intentionally a bit softer on defense), move Miller and Rudy into the starting lineup, and make sure LMA gets plenty of offensive attention, 6 of 12 is very reasonable.
Last year, 6 of 12 would have been crazy talk.
yes. I absolutly agree here.
last year this wouldn’t be true. But Oden is enough of a threat to make it work now.
hopefully we don’t have to worry about this at all though. :)

Norsk - I’m always careful with consumer reports. i.e.
They placed the Braun Juicer ahead of juicers that didn’t have a measured contained beaker that the juice would pour into (this was a few years back). The Braun’s beaker is so small (and you have to use it because of design) you cannot do anything quantity wise.
A complete fail for consumer reports on this product, because anybody who juices does not want to continually stop and empty out the beaker into a larger container when if designed correctly the larger container could be slid right under the spout.

“Help!” is a more classic adventure movie format but fun in it’s own way. My wife doesn’t think much of Hard Day’s Night (not sure why actually) but enjoys Help.

Remember this? A classic Wallace comment about flopping
“All that bull[expletive]-ass calls they had out there. With Mike [Callahan] and Kenny [Mauer] — you’ve all seen that [expletive],” Wallace said. “You saw them calls. The cats are flopping all over the floor and they’re calling that [expletive]. That [expletive] ain’t basketball out there. It’s all [expletive] entertainment. You all should know that [expletive]. It’s all [expletive] entertainment.”
and now
“They’ve got to know that he’s a [darn] flopper. That’s all Turkododo do,” Wallace said after the Celtics beat the Raptors 116-103. "Flopping shouldn’t get you nowhere. He acts like I shot him.
“That’s not basketball, man. That’s not defense. That’s garbage, what it is. I’m glad I don’t have too much of it left.”

He didn't really lead the Pistons, imo
It was Chauncey’s show. Also, the moniker “Mr. Big Shot” is well deserved for Billups, and it meant Sheed didn’t need to be the man in the clutch, an idea that never suited him. Not saying there weren’t ups and downs with Sheed, but Z Bo and Miles get their own special category of horrible in my book.

yes
Clearly chaunceys team, and the best thing about that team was that they were five deep. They won with defense, and they shared the ball. Plus, they upset the L*kers, good times…
RUDY > MJ
I never said his heart applied to leadership
but all of his teammates would describe him as “unselfish” and I think there are plenty of examples of him playing with heart on the floor. I agree that his head got in the way of him realizing his potential, which he had pouring out of his backside. but he played with a ton of heart and passion. Why do you think he got all those techs, from taking it easy? Letting the heat of the moment not get to him?

Techs
for me arguing with the refs when you have a reputation of drawing technical fouls is an example of putting yourself ahead of your team.

I could see that, my point is sheed would get crazy fired up, which is representative of his heart and passion for the game.
Not saying I agree with the way it always manifested itself, but I respect it more than zach talking from a defeated attitude when he was the supposed leader of this team.

the only time he seemed a detriment on the court was when he got tossed for techs. his off court stuff wasn’t horrible in comparison to others so he never bothered me much.

Total opposite for me...
Guys that draw techs are invested in the game. He had trouble controlling his emotions, because his emotions were intense through the course of a game, even if it hurt his team more often than not…
RUDY > MJ
Sheed played with a lot of heart
He just wasn’t a leader or a #1 option. Nobody gets as many T’s as Rasheed unless they give a rats ass…
RUDY > MJ
i never doubted his heart...just his heart to lead the team
guys like Terrell Owens and AI are the same way. All play with heart and passion…however none of them put themselves in a position to lead when their teams look to them.

The difference between sheed and TO/AI
is that they were selfish, sheed isn’t and wasnt. He wasnt out there trying to pad his stats. Bottom line is Sheed was a very talented player that didn’t have the makeup to be a leader, he wanted to do his thing and not be in the spotlight. Hard to blame him for that from where I stand….
RUDY > MJ
Yeah, I agree
The organization, the press, and the fans wanted him to be The Man, but that’s not how he operates. Made him bitter instead.
Y'know, that makes Rasheed Wallace a relatable guy.

That first half was terrible
At least there was some effort in the 2nd, but wow. We actually left early (well, the driver wanted to, so the other 2 friends I went with and myself were stuck on that one) but holy moly, I did not see that coming
The Blazerverse and The Wire: A comparison
Brandon Roy = Stringer Bell (smooth technician dedicated to his craft)
Nate McMiillan = Cedric Daniels (well intentioned leader, but he can be too rigid for his own good at times)
Martell Webster = Wee Bey Brice (straight up solider who follows orders; every organization needs these guys to be successful)
Jerryd Bayless = Marlo Stanfield (he's new to the game, but he's watching and waitng; he will take over and there will be casualties)
Rudy Fernandez = Jimmy McNulty (he gets results, but the leadership wishes he was less of a wild man; the ladies love him)
Greg Oden = Michael Lee (he started off a quiet kid, but he's beginning to tap in to his huge potential to change the game)
Andre Miller = Lester Freamon (do not let the laconic demeanor fool you, the veteran knows what's up)

it was on early turnovers leading to fastbreak layups to build the lead and then poor defense the rest of the game.

I dunno.
For one thing, Memphis shot the lights out in the first half. They passed well, and our guards, every single of them, suck at defending a driving player. It leaves our centers with the choice of fouling or giving up the easy basket. With as many offensive players as Memphis has, this was not the game to quit trying on perimeter D. As always, I think Blake sucked, but I’m not objective on that subject anymore. 0 points ought to say enough about Blake tonight. Memphis couldn’t miss at a time when we refused to play D, it was that simple. Good for us for getting back 20 of the points we were down, but that kind of effort can’t happen.
But I love you :-(

Memphis (6-10) is still far down in the Western Conference, though it may not be long if the offensive-minded Grizzlies keep it up. Playing against the NBA’s best scoring defense, Memphis poured in a season-high 61 points during the first half. The Grizzlies topped 100 points for the fifth time in six games.
Memphis shot nearly 54 percent from the field (43-of-80), and five Grizzlies scored in double figures.
“This is the best we’ve played against a quality opponent,” Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said.
