    That just looks boring and uninspired.  Christmas is a season of celebration and joy (and this is explicitly called the Claridge CHRISTMAS tree installation).  

    There is nothing about that setup that makes me feel joyful.  Complete fail by Ive.  Ive is usually really good about tying function and design, but this just looks like some shallow attempt to produce something "chic."
    In a huge fan of Ive's work and have been for a long time. 

    But it I agree here. 

    Great design relates to the purpose. This does not. 

    Does it it look nice? Sure. 

    But it it's almost spooky. Not celebratory. 


    Actually I have to disagree, the set seems like it is meant to instil a sense of serenity. The true meaning of Christmas is not about gold, glitter and presents, it's about celebrating the birth of Jesus and to reflect for a moment on the sanctity of life. If anything this set seems to capture this feeling way more than any other over the top treasure trove of presents I have seen throughout the years. If this set is supposed to communicate what this holiday is really about, Ive is spot on here.
    I personally celebrate the birth of Jesus as the "reason for the season." But God coming in human flesh to make grace available to all is more a reason to celebrate than anything. Good Friday would be more cause for s serene setting. 

    This is just looks like a dark, spooky forest in most pictures and just uninspired in others. 

    To to be fair, it was just a side gig. Not something he would have time to invest his heart and soul into. But a fun diversion no doubt. Most people have no idea how much work is involved in design. It's shocking how much Ive is able to do year after year. 

    Hes amazing. But this isn't reflective of his talent. 
    Well said.  My criticism isn't full of anger and hatred. It's simply a commentary/opinion that this is not his best work.

    Don't we live in a society of diverse thinking and he open sharing of ideas without name calling?  No?  HELP!!!!!  I NEED A SAFE SPACE!  I NEED A SAFE SPACE!!

    @ttollerton Didn't like the idea of mounting a remote at the 2nd wall location for 3 way lutron caseta? I haven't replaced my hall lights with caseta switches (just bedrooms and porch) but I've been very pleased with the system.
    Well, have I got news for you!  I've been doing some research, and the Lutron Pro switches support three way switching.  You can keep on standard three way switch installed and just install the Lutron Pro switch in one spot.  No need to install the Pico remote.  The Pro switches are a bit more expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

  • Future watch: new Ethernet standard to bring 2.5 and 5 Gbit/sec speeds to existing cabling

    Sorry my bad. There is enough cable to go 1/100 of the distance to Pluto 
    Seems like a reasonable unit of measurement.  The distance between Earth and Pluto shall heretofore be known as a "plutometer."

    The amount of Ethernet cable deployed on earth is 1/100 of a plutometer.  Whip THAT out at your next trivia night.
