Did you know that the moment you add a FireWire 400 HD to a daisy-chained stack of FW800 drives, you render the whole bunch FW400? #nerdfact

The Design Encyclopedia

design_encyclopedia.jpg
Nearly everybody has used or at least heard of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia.org, but now there’s a design-focused Wiki encyclopedia called The Design Encyclopedia. Brought to you by Armin Vit and friends at Underconsideration.com who publish the popular design blog Speak Up, The Design Encyclopedia is “a user-built source of reference material with the sole intention of defining, describing, chronicling and documenting the world through design in all its implications and manifestations from the visual to the tactile, from the communicative to the evocative, from the cultural to the commercial.”

Most everything from cars to burgers to movies can be dissected by its design application, use and history. With each entry the design encyclopedia will place common topics, artifacts, events, cities and more within the scope and context of design in order to showcase the influence that design, designers and the designed have in shaping the environments that we inhabit, the tools that we employ and, even, the experiences that we live. The design encyclopedia is about design. About the world. [description borrowed from Underconsideration.com]
