		<title>Designing the Healthcare Experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Article about Kaiser focusing on design to improve the health care experience. 

Though hospitals will end up looking better, these efforts aren’t about decorating, they’re about outcomes. Numerous studies point to the benefits of the design strategies and environmental interventions KP has proposed and implemented. Factors like the quality and intensity of light, access to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cafe Concepts: Ordering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like this idea from a temporary cafe in Japan: you get what the person in front of you ordered. As a concept it&#8217;s fun, but working something like that into a normal brick and mortar cafe might be tougher &#8212; generally you&#8217;d just want to go in and get whatever you want, no hassle.

		<title>Melitta 1.3L Water Pot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like the design of this Melitta pot for pouring water over a manual drip coffee filter. You&#8217;d buy something like this for the spout design, which makes it easier to control and maintain a steady pour over the coffee grinds.

So far I&#8217;ve only been able to find a wood-handled version for $90 in Korea, [...]]]></description>

		<title>IF Mode Folding Bicycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is the most elegantly designed folding bicycle I&#8217;ve seen. Unfortunately it sells for over $2000.

Designed by Thermaltake and BMW, this computer case looks like the future (and costs $700).

		<title>Twitter Analyzed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the main reason I&#8217;ve never seen the point of joining twitter. There&#8217;s no content there that I&#8217;m interested in. That is, until the Iranian protests. But even then it was difficult to find what I was looking for. 
&#8230;the top 10% of prolific Twitter users accounted for over 90% of tweets. On a [...]]]></description>

		<title>NYT: Datacenters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting NYT magazine article about datacenters and the infrastructure that runs the internet. 
Tukwila is less a building than a machine for computing. “You look at a typical building,” Manos explained, “and the mechanical and electrical infrastructure is probably below 10 percent of the upfront costs. Whereas here it’s 82 percent of the costs.” Little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hario press pot and cups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Saw this at Lotte mart today, I kind of like it. But I&#8217;m not sure I like how narrow the glass is compared to the size and design of the base &#8212; creates a little disproportionality that I don&#8217;t like. I wonder if there&#8217;s a better example of the concept? Maybe if the glass part [...]]]></description>

How much sugar is in the stuff you&#8217;re eating? Kind of gross.

		<title>Caffe Artigiano (카페아띠지아노)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Caffe Artigiano in Korea has a new location near Gwanghwamun  subway station on Line 5 (광화문역). Take exit 7 and head West (I think that&#8217;s a left). The tiny, unassuming espresso bar is a minute or two walking distance.
The space is dominated by a huge four group espresso machine. They have a grinder that automatically [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Maillard Honey/Syrup Dispenser&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
This is quite an attractive little container, I love the clean lines of the handle and lever, and the overall proportionality of the piece. Why do things like this have to be $50?

		<title>Korean Internet Policy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an article in the Korea Times detailing some of the current issues in Korean internet policy. The government is expanding its regulation of internet use, mandating the collection of personal data (equivalent of social security ID) for sites with over 100,000 visitors and increasing the powers of law enforcement to intercept data and invade [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peter Funch &#8211; Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
These photos by Peter Funch are pretty genius. Looks like multiple shots from the same angle used to create a composite scene amplifying certain features of the urban landscape and life therein.
