Thursday Titillation

without comments

Was just reading over on Treehugger about a recent competition to design a commuter bike for the masses. You can read more about it here but the comments after the article raise some very interesting (and mostly valid) points.

Jeff Stephens sums it perfectly:

“In other words, these design competitions are intellectual circle jerks, because the goal is to win the competition, not to create a better design.”
