Time to leave Tassie for Western Australia. "Hooroo" ("Goodbye") until next time.
Hopping from Launcester to Melbourne and on to Perth one has time to enjoy the vistas and contemplate beauty in its various forms.
Natural beauty and beauty-through-design makes me think of Don Norman's essay, "Emotion and Design: Attractive Things Work Better."
Wash and polish your car: doesn't it drive better?
It also makes me remember the "Coffeepot for masochists" by
French artist Jacques Carelman. I plan to fit that into the Perth presentation.
