Super Design and Poor Design
I saw Oren Michel's tweet about this brilliant designer in the UK, revolutionizing something as mundane as a power plug, 
and then looked out my window and saw the results of poor design .
I love Christmas lights all year round, and when LED models came out, my guilt over their energy consumption evaporated. I loaded up on these GE branded lights from Costco and enjoyed them all summer in the backyard. With the first hard freeze of the season, approximately 2/3'rds of the plastic diffusers from the lights popped off last night, having filled with water over time. Boo, hiss, bad GE, bad Costco. tsk, tsk, tsk. Now I have to go pro and check out these guys. You get what you pay for in this world.
