Interesting webpage

Who would have thought it -- a better stapler. This is a great example of how even the most mundane, commonplace commodity can be improved. Staplers look pretty simple and their design has not changed much, until now.

I found this website to be very interesting because the author was discussing many of the same issues that we have been going over and actually talked about Norman. This site also was trying to find and give praise to everyday things that had actually been very well designed. I like the site and the premise because it is very difficult to know what products are usable before you buy and some kind of list or website would certainly be a useful consumer tool.
