I want one! Great solution. (via @azaaza) DEWS does away with concerns about whether your toothbrush is resting on an unhygienic surface. This upstanding toothbrush makes use of a weight at the end of its rounded handle to create a centre of gravity at the handle base. When the toothbrush is set down, it will sway momentarily until it reaches a position of balance – much like a tumble doll. RYAN HARC: dews2

Tired of schoolwork but not tired enough to sleep apparently, so watched some #ixd10 as my bedtime story. Talk on a ton of really amazing projects by Alan Chochinov’s students at SVA. Takeaways:
  • Raise the Stakes: Make it personal, make it urgent.
  • Intervene: Design your products as if they were props in an intervention.
  • Don’t Play Fair: Act like a design thinker, but think like a design activist.
  • Facilitate: It’s not what you design, it’s not what you make – it’s what you facilitate.

Thanks to @daveixd for putting this one in my Twitterfeed. There are so many sessions I didn’t get to attend that I can’t wait to watch!
