User Experience
I've been thinking a lot about poor user experience lately.  It seems as if on all fronts, users are being subjected to products that are designed by people without a single idea as to how to use those items.  When did this happen?  How can we contest this?  I think we, as consumers, have gotten too complacent, too used to just throwing things out if they aren't quite right.  I have a philosophy when it comes to buying, and it goes, more or less, like this:  There is no price too high for what I want (need), but any price is too high for what I don't want.  Stupid simple?  Maybe.  It means I'll pay three or four hundred dollars for the exact sheets that I want, but that I refuse to buy even at a discount, sheets that aren't exactly what I need.  It means, in short, that I don't settle.  Unfortunately, it gets harder and harder to find providers of goods and services that actually cater to the products I want to purchase.
