@epill
So you are really liking China, from what I see...
Question for you mate, do you see any progress in design for their internal market? A few years ago only the exporting industries looked half reasonable.
- hmm tough question, since i am almost 24/7 in the factories solely working on my develops..– e-pill1/22
  i think asking mydo or jevad or ephix that you will get a better answer.. but..– e-pill2/22
  i will say that technology has come a long way from everything being made by hand– e-pill3/22
  or cut and sew by hand.. now they have nice cad machines all doing it 3D printers and more– e-pill4/22
  getting developments completed today takes less than half the time it used to.– e-pill5/22
  not really sure how to answer the internal part as i am an outsider..– e-pill6/22
  the city i am in is rather small so i still feel like im back in china from last decade..– e-pill7/22
  in the big cities like hong kong, taipei, shanghai, beijing im sure the progress in design is high!!– e-pill8/22
  while the other large cities like shenzhen, dong guan, fuzhou are mainly factory cities..– e-pill9/22
  design yes, but a different aspect of it.. since its just factories.. of all kinds..– e-pill10/22
  from what i know. they are still very keen on copying everything. or just design them cute and childish. that's a sure sell. or have a pop star's face on it.– pango11/22
  ... sell. or have a pop star's face on it. it is getting better though. but the general public (china) just don't buy what we called design in western society.– pango12/22
  ...design in western society. Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia on the other hand is really booming (IMO). Taiwan has semi good design scene but highly influenced by japanese style.– pango13/22
  oh i went a bit side tracked...
  depends on the city your at. ShangHai and HongKong definitely has a pretty good design scene.– pango14/22
  just realized sentence got cut off... taiwan has semi good design scene but highly influenced by japanese style.– pango15/22
  its the same in any big city asia or elsewhere, individual identity shines with design n creativity– e-pill16/22
  however in the smaller cities struggling to have any identity there is lacking lots of design.– e-pill17/22
  the factory that does our production knocked us off directly. they use our designs..– e-pill18/22
  our logo, our hardware, our materials and even our hangtags.. their name is ..– e-pill19/22
  SWISSWIN.. while we are SWISSGEAR. they sell in china only and the parent company-– e-pill20/22
  Wenger cant do a thing about it..because this is china and design is out the door.– e-pill21/22
  damn– moldero22/22

So I entered a bag design into a Eastpak competition ..
would be super if you liked it if you voted..
http://bagintown.net/matchlock-m…
- e-pill.. thus my questions the other day.. it was very much inspired by the transformer– autoflavour1/68
  well, the way the transformer can be super low profile while still carrying a laptop..– autoflavour2/68
  there are more images on the site– autoflavour3/68
  ahhh another transformer bag.. memories!! haha cool!! best of luck!!– e-pill4/68
  did you already make this or is this a frankenstein of many bags pshoped into one bag?– e-pill5/68
  photoshop monster from about 6 bags, all sliced and massaged.. I wish i had the skills to build it– autoflavour6/68
  if you have time goto the apple store and check out thule's transformer bag.– e-pill7/68
  clone tool was used a lot– autoflavour8/68
  the bag looks soft construction yet, the items going inside are all electronic and need rigidity– e-pill9/68
  perhaps add some volume to the bag as its gusset looks very thin also add some detail items– e-pill10/68
  Thule bag also your design?– autoflavour11/68
  perhaps that lower zipper on the front panel, make it a heat fused water proof zipper in RED– e-pill12/68
  or make the zipper puller bungee in a pop colour. also perhaps strengthen the handle– e-pill13/68
  a webbing top handle to carry electronic items is uncomfortable. make it stronger– e-pill14/68
  yeah, the point was to reduce the padding a lot.. i carry my DSLR in the bladder section of the transformer a lot– autoflavour15/68
  and its survived pretty well over the past few years– autoflavour16/68
  thule is case logic..– e-pill17/68
  or case logic is thule how ever you want to look at it.. i designed for them 2 years ago– e-pill18/68
  fortunately the comp is basically pitching an idea, then if you make the final 6, they workshop and prototype it with you– autoflavour19/68
  you mention "transformer" which bag is that?– e-pill20/68
  thats RAD i wish you luck!! i can comment for days on this.. depends how much you want..– e-pill21/68
  to hear..– e-pill22/68
  is the insert inside the bag or does it clip to the outside?– e-pill23/68
  i see 4 compression straps, 2 on each side, is this where the insert connects to or elsewhere– e-pill24/68
  when using compression straps, usually its for a very large size gusset.. not a thin 1– e-pill25/68
  have you thought of the size of the bag? height, width, depth?– e-pill26/68
  i would add a sternum straap on the shoulder straps, as the weight may become too heavy– e-pill27/68
  do you like KATA camera bags?– e-pill28/68
  the inserts are for the main compartment.. its all inside..– autoflavour29/68
  transformer, i mean the Camelbak transformer .. it was you I had that conversation with right?– autoflavour30/68
  dont know KATA.. checking now– autoflavour31/68
  kata bags-
  http://www.kata-bags…– e-pill32/68
  there is a more detailed description on the link.. dimensions, volume etc..– autoflavour33/68
  i suggest to use nylon versus polyester.. as its nicer and has more value than poly.– e-pill34/68
  do your zipper only stop 1/4 from top or do they open more toward where the side compression straps are?– e-pill35/68
  also you are using a lot of buckles.. the price for this bag will be very high.– e-pill36/68
  if you make it to the final 6, would you be able to further advance the design of it?– e-pill37/68
  or is it as is? only?– e-pill38/68
  i ask about the zippers only due to the buckles inside, to where the inserts clip on..– e-pill39/68
  it might be difficult for the user to attach them if the zip opening is too small to get in– e-pill40/68
  you may want to add some seams on the front panel or some pleats to add volume.– e-pill41/68
  basically you pitch an idea, then they fly you there to workshop and prototype the ideas– autoflavour42/68
  they are then voted on and the winner is put into production in the following year by eastpak– autoflavour43/68
  plus you get a 5000euro prize– autoflavour44/68
  you can add more volume as you have 4 compression straps, the volume can be eaten by-– e-pill45/68
  compressing the straps and thus adding more functionality..– e-pill46/68
  definitely can adjust things, but only after you make it into the first round 6.. the entry is as is– autoflavour47/68
  i really wanted to have something with a low volume, if only to make people think about what they need– autoflavour48/68
  i love the way i can only carry a certain amount with the transformer backpack.. it stops me having a bag full of crap– autoflavour49/68
  but yep, all these suggestions are going into a word doc.. and i will definitely hit you up if i make it past this stage..– autoflavour50/68
  as for zipper length, would need to be long enough to reach inside and get lens, but not long enough to flop open– autoflavour51/68
  there is a lot i dont know about bag design (given this is my first) but i look at all the bags i have and– autoflavour52/68
  think of what i like and what i would change.. then tried to build a bag around that.. without making this http://onscreencars.…– autoflavour53/68
  http://onscreencars.…– autoflavour54/68
  you should take a look at Marmot's outdoor backpacks.. especially their shoulder straps– e-pill55/68
  they are very lightweight and very comfortable - http://marmot.com/pr…– e-pill56/68
  also look at their buckles,,they are more design forward than the standard black you use– e-pill57/68
  think shape and functionality.. look at other products in the backpack category and use it– e-pill58/68
  think material, think shape, think overall design and push it!!– e-pill59/68
  again best of luck!!– e-pill60/68
  here is Marmot's backpacks.
  http://marmot.com/ca…
  get further inspired!!– e-pill61/68
  yeah the marmot bags are super comfy.. i get a sneaking suspicion that any final design will likely be adapted by eastpak to their ready made parts..– autoflavour62/68
  eastpak to include their ready made parts.. but have to see.. anyway, thanks for all your thoughts– autoflavour63/68
  understood about ready made parts but nothing wrong with pushing the limits of ur design– e-pill64/68
  i agree completely.. the straps need to be good..– autoflavour65/68
  GET A ROOM!!!! GEEEZZ!!!!– Hombre_Lobo66/68
  only if you are in there watching– autoflavour67/68
  me too! hahaha.. I've learn a lot!– Miesfan68/68

I had a discussion about fluoridation last week which yesterday turned into an argument that I was finally able to get out of by personally requesting the KHI contact this woman regarding a mortality report they released years ago.
—
Also, do not replace dinner with Red Vines® unless you want to momentarily question your bowel health the next morning in the restroom like I just did. Everything. Red.
- more fluride intake cancels out the red.– moldero1/2

what a morning! I was just told a project that i have been working on for the past 4+ months is being scrapped. Although it feels fairly unsatisfying - i also feel quite relieved since the work was unsatisfying to begin with. but the good news, now i can focus my energy on rewarding projects that provide more value IMHO. congratulations to me i guess ;)
- love that feeling when the weight of a garbage project is lifted (whether completed or trashed - good riddance)– PonyBoy1/3

Apple's decision to drop their standard 30 pin connector for the iPhone 5 will result in 5 generations of accessories becoming obsolete.

Feels good to clean out my iTunes library.
I started with 10,000+ songs. So far I've tossed out 1,000 songs. All electronic, experimental, and ambient tracks that I pretended to like in front of my indie friends.
- i'm the opposite, throwing out all the shit guitar band music I never listen to.– inteliboy1/2

There's more to installing a ceiling fan than I thought. Time for the landlord to earn my rent.
On the other hand, my coasters are quite easy to deploy.
