Form follows function


I'm a fan of simple design. Also a big fan of features. (You'd expect that I would love the iphone, but regular readers know better.)

I came across this list of ten commandments of good design from Dieter Rams and really liked it.

Also found this naval pea coat, which I include here because it's a good example of several of the commandments. I know that your North Face Kamasutra Gore-Flex 8000 Climbing Jacket of Amazing is way more 'technical', but the pea coat is 1/2 the price and actually looks good. Crazy, I know.

Unrelated - this stuff is cool: http://www.urbanrider.co.uk/
