the simple life | the classic design

Here is a post from LifeHacker.com which gets at the heart of & reminds me of the simple life. We can innovate all day long, but more times than not in the long run the classic design will continue to be understand as ultimate. Why?
Because, simple basic designs have lasted & will continue to last out the last & greatest gadgets that come down the line—Ackham’s Razor.

This reminds me of a previous post about air drying our clothes instead of using a electric dryer. About a month ago our electric dryer which had been on the fringe for some time decided to shoot sparks, flames, and smoke out. Since that unplugging we haven’t used it at all. We have talked & even agreed upon getting another dryer, though we haven’t actually made the trip to purchase one. It has been a month and there hasn’t been much trouble with laundry getting dry. Granted we are beginning the Summer which equals lots of sun & heat to dry the clothes.

Funny thing about air drying clothes—they get stiff— you know how you iron & starch your clothes to get that flat stiff look—well if I lay items on our drying racks well I get that exact result without any of the extra labor.
