I'm great at pretending.

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:21:59 -0400

A recurring theme I find myself stuck on is the idea of pretending. Specifically, the idea that I’m really just pretending to be nearly all of the things I’d like to be. I guess you could say that we’re all really pretending in hopes that we match up to a definition of some kind.

Really, I’m not a designer, I just pretend to be one. I try to make smart design decisions about my life, I’ve got the books, the wardrobe, fancy business cards and I can wax poetic about Adobe products, but I’m not a designer, I’m just pretending to be one.

I’m not a writer either, or a photographer, or a fabricator, nor do I have a clue what I’m doing in regards to computers and technology. Heck, that last part is all magic to me.

The older I become the more I realise that I never actually know what I’m doing, I’ve just become exceptionally talented at pretending to know what I’m doing.

But for some reason this thing costs $850.

iPhone DSLR serious prototype

»Apple has updated its iPhone 4 camera and now has 5-megapixels still frames, HD video, and an LED flash. Put that together with a DSLR lens, and you’ve got a device that can shoot amazing images/video with SLR lenses, edit them on the fly, and share them on the internet all in one device.«

Oh man, I want one!

From a Reddit thread asking for “things the public doesn’t know about your job”:

One last thing…the myth of the $500 hammer (or wrench), which I learned in a logistics class. During the cold war there was a need for a milspec tool for use on nuclear subs. This thing had to be exact in its measurements, not retain radiation, survive extreme temperature changes, and perform several functions. The tool took a few years to design, some new applications in material science had to be invented, but they got it done. A congressman sees this item listed in the budget with a really long and confusing item name, and a price of $325. He asks his staffer, what is this? The staffer makes some calls, some people try to explain it to him, and the staffer reports back, “It’s some sort of wrench or something.” The price is inflated to $500, it gets called a hammer, and everyone ignores the fact that while they were needed, the Navy only needed about 100 of them. Meanwhile, congress spent several million “investigating” this, including trips to the naval base / golf club we had on Bermuda at the time, and everyone promptly ignored the findings, but it still makes a great empty talking point.
