Design led vs. User led

I love this sort of article, reaffirming the leadership role of design. I firmly believe in this, and hope that with my work am able to be an example of this vs. just riding the wagon. via FastCo.

Among my favorite quotes, the apple design team's response to user centric design:
"It’s all bullshit and hot air created to sell consulting projects and to give insecure managers a false sense of security."

"...Developing countries spending the most on renewables." via FastCo.

Article in FastCo. gives me a bit of hope..."For The First Time, Developing Countries Spending The Most On Renewables "

Seems to me analogous to how cell phone negated their need for land line infrastructure. Will renewable energy investment enable them to leapfrog traditional powergrid?

In some renderers,such as Maxwell, you can control light levels after the render. With this camera, you can control focus, after you've taken the picture!

"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying 'no' to 1,000 things." - Steve Jobs

Taking vs. Making in the U.S.A.

via wall street journal "Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million)." The article goes on to say "President Obama says we have to retool our economy to "win the future." The only way to do that is to grow the economy that makes things, not the sector that takes things."

Nice. I like the twist on the 'new from old' idea.

Teaching myself t-splines via tutorials online. I think I've just found my new favorite tool. If I had used this to do A Round,it would have been PROFOUNDLY easier and better. Looks like time to remodel.
It just seems too easy, like I'm cheating. Those transitions? and the control of edges? Oh...mann...First tutorial model in process:
