Folks,
I am tentatively making my first foray into the blog world. I am aware that time is precious so I will attempt to keep my weekly postings relevant. I really want to celebrate quality design, especially interaction design, that is motivated by a genuine desire to make a positive contribution to the world and not merely clutter it. I’m not one for frivolity … might as well tell you that now. Unless of course its sublimely beautiful or recklessly funny. I found a video on You-Tube last week that I want to share in this first posting. It is a small insight to the user-centred research and development into hand-powered tricycles for people with disabilities in a developing country setting.

It features a lot of inventive and resourceful heads.
