I wonder what Dieter Rams would say about the Obamachron. I remove the color to try to see the pattern, and it's easier on the eyes, but it still makes no sense to me. We will witness what this precedent brings. Now we witness the end of the commons. We watch the parks turn into real estate.

Design should not dominate things, should not dominate people. It should help people. That's its role.
