Bad designs.

Bad designs. We've all fuddled with electronics, only to be prevented from easy use by weird, half-baked designs. Of course, this is not something that's unique to electronics -- almost anything can be poorly designed. Enter BadDesigns.com.

This site attempts to catalogue poor product design in the world around us. Although many of his reviews are simply bitching about problems most people routinely solve unconsciously, some of them are actually quite funny. Like the minivan ejection seat. On the other hand, some of them are quite serious, like the nearly identical insulin bottles. One of my favorites is the mop sink. "When simple things have signs, especially homemade signs, it is usually a signal that they aren't well-designed."
