Innovating Belgium's postal service through design
The UK Design Council website has posted a nice case study on how Belgium’s postal service turned to design to help it make the transformation from outmoded institution to flexible service provider. When in 2001 the European postal markets were being gradually liberalised, the Belgian post office (De Post) embarked upon a wholesale, design-led reinvention, appointing Fitch:London to help...

Hands down, the best camera strap made
I just bought one of Al Stegmeyer’s impressive UpStraps for my Canon 1DS. At $32, it’s not cheap, but neither is the quality or performance. I’ve always used Domke’s Gripper straps on my cameras, but their performance absolutely pales in comparison to the UpStrap. It made me realize how much I subconsciously “favored” my camera-carrying shoulder in the past- now...

In 1878 he did a fascinating experiment. He covered a rabbit’s head to allow the rhodopsin to accumulate in the rods. Then it was uncovered and positioned toward a barred window....
