• Good design is aesthetic
• Good design helps us to understand a product
• Good design is unobtrusive
• Good design is honest
• Good design is long-lasting
• Good design is consequent to the last detail
• Good design is concerned with the environment
• Good design is as little design as possible

Movie Stills

From a few of my favorites this year. (From top to bottom, Where the Wild Things Are, New Moon, The September Issue).

I forgot one!

I forgot what is probably the second-most important focus for 2010: conserving our planet's resources.

To me, this encompasses a lot of things.

Buying less
Buying items without packaging
Getting paperless statements for everything
Turning off the lights and taking short showers
Telling waiters to stop refilling my water glass
Treat water like liquid gold, because it's going to be soon
Being willing to pay for items that I think will last 100 years
Using what I've already got creatively
Driving less - as a new used car owner currently living in Burien, I need work on this one
Saving every scrap of leftovers; one drummy and you've got yourself a stew!
