Welcome to

I had to pay the bills today. Usually, the beginning and the end of the month is hectic for most people. That’s because it’s bill time. When you get your bills set up for payment, you have to add and subtract. I have a lot of different types of calculators. All of them are pretty darn ugly. I was wondering why people don’t design cool calculators. But then i started thinking about prices. I asked myself if i would be willing to pay designer prices for a calculator. I wouldn’t. I know that i am a designer and should own cool stuff, but having a fancy looking calculator is a waste of money. You can use a 2 dollar calculator and it’s the same as using a $100 calculator.

The design field is filled with unnecessary items. We create things that are not needed. We create things that look cool. We try to create art but most of the time, it’s all about marketing and branding. I guess i am a bit cranky cause i just got finished paying the bills. I should be talking about the beauty of design. I’ll save that for non bill days.
