I really like the GMC Granite concept from Detroit, the boxy look seems to be a fetich of mine. The interior is fab too, although I have to wonder if there’s been a true pillarless production car since the Contintental.
On post-underwear-bomber airport security, as ever Bruce Schneier sets the fluff aside and gets to the point:
It’s magical thinking: If we defend against what the terrorists did last time, we’ll somehow defend against what they do one time. Of course this doesn’t work. We take away guns and bombs, so the terrorists use box cutters. We take away box cutters and corkscrews, and the terrorists hide explosives in their shoes. We screen shoes, they use liquids. We limit liquids, they sew PETN into their underwear. We implement full-body scanners, and they’re going to do something else. This is a stupid game; we should stop playing it.
The site is struggling so I’m republishing on Foot.ie and here. These are the comments I added on Foot.ie:
I’ve no problem republishing the entire thing here, as they’ve given permission to. This site is on a server in Cork. I’ll wait by the door. It’s a retarded law and Dermot Ahern is a retarded man for enacting it.
Organised religion, in particular organised catholicism, sits in the same category. If we were around 2000 years ago, catholicism would be our scientology, Jesus Christ our L. Ron Hubbard. By idiots, for idiots.
(I know there are some religious people on this site that will be offended. I honestly don’t care. You’re entitled to your beliefs and I’m entitled to ridicule them. I’ll continue to do so despite this ridiculous law.)
Actually I rarely do design these days, I project manage; so I get to be the interface between the Client and the Designer. One day I’ll find the perfect cartoon representation of designers, I’ll link that post to this, and that’ll be my new website! :)
Could spell trouble for OpenDNS. I’m jealous of their netblocks.
