"we're all designers now"

Kathy Sierra (my future wife) writes about the importance of good design in terms of it actually saving your job. She compares Japanese and American man-hole covers to illustrate her point.

NB: She's not really my future wife (*Sigh*).

I love her point that "we're all designers". Over the last few days with the technologists vs culturalists stuff my brain has just been screaming "we're tool users - people don't need encouragement to get excited about technology, you just have to stop using it to torture them." Of course - we're tool creators too. There are no technical problems, only opportunities! Coolness.

You could probably have a "blogosphere wedding" that wouldn't conflict with anything else (i.e. reality).

P.S. if you have 2.5 kids, I call dibs on being the .5 (I've always wanted to be half a kid).
