Bio


Thanks for visiting the blog. Here you will find random musings about user experience design, business, productivity, project development, a few 2x2 grids drafted late at night, and some pop-culture references to things like the Karate Kid and American Idol (which is to stay I often watch bad TV and occasionally read an interesting book).

Presto

Presto1_3It makes a perfect cut -- a beautiful moment with a soft audible slicing noise as it passes cleanly from one end of an envelope to the another. This little device, my Presto Letter Opener, actually brings pleasure to opening mail (and I don't mean in a warped self-torture way).

 

No jagged edge left behind to annoy with its ugliness. No ruined mail. No paper cuts to nag you for days; a painful reminder of the bills you want to forget.

The Presto Letter Opener may get a thumbs down for color and outdated typography. But the use and simplicity get high marks for doing the impossible. By design it has turned a dreaded task into something enjoyable.

(Of course there is still the matter of paying bills).

The Presto Letter Opener came courtesy of a colleague and great productivity consultant, Matthew Cornell.
