dirt

hehe just another 'what is this?' post. i don't remember who did it, but there was a list like '25 mistakes designers make' and two items were 'spending too much time on the computer' and 'not making models to avoid getting dirty'. i'm sure the exact words were different, but the main essence was like that. i couldn't agree more. being obsessed with computers instead of spending valuable time exploring the 'real' world... i wish more employers understood that when you are not at your desk, you might be more useful for the company:)) the same goes with models. is it really possible to develop a product without making a model? i guess you can use just about any kind of material as long as it fills your need. there's no need for expensive hi-tech equipment to visualize ideas. well, at least always.

so, what is this?
