The New Editorials Section of One Floor Up

Being the design junkie that I am, I'm constantly trying to inflict my opinions about products and ideas on others. I've been know to utter the phrase "I'm going to write them a letter about that" on a pretty regular basis and quite frankly, I currently owe the world about 200 letters. I've decided to refocus that letter writing energy on this editorial section of One Floor Up and share some of those thoughts with you instead. Hopefully you will find some of them interesting... or at least entertaining.

The categories for these editorials are based on a few key phrases that tend to say quite a lot (apparently). A few examples are:

1. What took them so long?
(As in, this is such a good idea what took someone so long to actually produce it?)

2. Who ever invented..., is my hero.
(Dishing out props to the inventors of things that I wouldn't want to live without)

3. Suggested improvements.
(This product is cool, but a great improvement would be...)

4. Why doesn't someone...?
(Great ideas that someone should hurry up and develop)

5. Why do we put up with...?
(Products and experiences that are not very good but we have just gotten used to)

6. Products that make me happy.
(Products that have really great user experiences or features)

7. Things that are better in other countries.
(Based on my limited knowledge of the world, things that other countries do better that we could learn from)
