About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Brilliant!

There’s one set missing in the intersection:
Reparable
October 28th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Isn’t repairable a subset of durable? Being rather resourceful with the “junk” of others, I’d say so.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:16 am
“Repairable” would be, I think, something entirely personal. I’m not very handy, but there are still things that I find incredibly useful, beautiful, and durable — in fact, that durability helps me not *need* to know how to fix the thing!
October 28th, 2009 at 11:17 am
Or, as William Morris said:
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”

what is it if it’s just in one?
October 28th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
aka firmness, commodity and delight

Is this another card about you?

The smallishness of the center calls to mind Mies van der Rohe and Less is More.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
If it is just one, the only criteria is “Appropriate”. That says it all.

How about: Cheap?
October 29th, 2009 at 5:15 am
Defined problem + (attractive) visual solution = design
October 29th, 2009 at 10:47 am
This is a very Vulcan idea: the functional beauty of things, they noted, oft increased the productivity of said thing.

Is it a Apple’s product definition? What about a MacBook or an iPod?

heres a quote for you:
people ignore designs that ignore people - frank chimero
love your blog.

This should have been the cover of our design textbook in college. Hell, this should have *been* our design textbook.

@Lenin: You forgot “useful”.
This chart is pure win.

Jessica is quoting Marcus Vitruvius Pollio from 1C, BC who said, architecture aspires to “firmitas, utilitas, venustas.” Even after 2000 years it’s hard to improve. Mark quotes Mitch Kapor, but I prefer Jessica’s version.
