Philippe Starck is a french designer, whose scope ranges from deluxe objects to posh condos and hotels all around the world. I especially admire him for his believes and views on design and religion, which is very close to mine. Design should be done for the result. People, are going to use the product, so we should spent time thinking about how are they going to use it and make it the bast way, to create best experience. This implies also on web design.

In traditional chemistry, you can not create new elements without an enormous energy. True or false? Imagine a test. Feed chickens with a diet free of any calcium but containing potassium (element single step below calcium). Hen will lay perfectly normal eggs. Feed them without calcium and potassium and they will get sick and lay soft-shelled eggs. It seems that chickens can convert potassium into calcium without any trouble or use of enormous energy. Yes. Living systems are able to change one element into another without the use of enormous energy.
Always look at new things with open mind, do not get stick to what you already know. Challenge it.
