      >1. Fruit stickers are edible! Should you peel them off? Yes. But, if you happen to eat one or two it’s not a big deal. They’re actually made out of “edible paper” or other food grade materials with that possibility in mind!

      >Remove stickers from produce.The stickers on fruit are made of edible paper; however, it is best to remove them before washing. Otherwise, the part underneath the sticker will not be cleaned.

    As a Designer I've learnt things that there are 2 parts to be a good designer.
    1. You have to be good at the technical tool
    2. You have to be good about principles.
    No number 1 means it's just an idea
    No number 2 means you just know
    how to do it but doesn't know why you do it.

    This class gives the basic perspective that product designers should have.
    Just as a comedian made us laugh by presenting our habitual behavior in our daily lives, not only product designers but also all designers are aware of everything and make small changes.
    In order to look at the small things, I think it will take a look at everything in the world, not a general and habitual one.

    I didn't seek out this video, it popped up after a UI review by Antony Conboy, but its exactly what I needed to hear today. Especially the end bit about thinking younger. I was telling my husband today that I think I may be suffering creatively and career-wise because there are not many young creatives at my work. I miss working with interns and entry level designers but wasn't sure why. Now, I think it might be necessary to find a new environment where I can think younger in order to flourish.

    I tend to notice everything all the time. Even driving. I don't just "automatically" shift into drive and hit the gas, I'm literally noticing the exact force required to move the lever, how it feels, how far I'm pushing the pedal...I can't ignore noises around me either. I work in a job with MANY frequent alarms and alerts, my past job too, in both the noises affect me after 10 years the same they did the first day. I think this is why I have such a hard time with memory sometimes. He's right, it IS exhausting, to memorize or even briefly remember something I have to try and ignore the plethora of data flooding my senses which is extremely hard....I then have to keep whatever I'm trying to remember in the fore front while ignoring everything. Even my own pulse is a constant presence that I not only feel but see; as blood pulses into my eyes it distorts the image I see (which I don't see as a solid image but countless dots forming the image before me). Same with sense of touch, I constantly feel a vibration of sorts of input from my skin, same with hearing. Anyone else or am I as odd as I think I am? Might be why I'm not good at anything, I can't get to that "automation" level, playing video games for instance, I'm constantly aware of how far i'm moving the controller and how hard I'm pushing it....meh...course I can automate to some degree, typing is a good example, but even that I'm visualizing where the keys are and hitting them, I've gotten faster at it but I won't get any faster

    I just stick that apple logo on the nearest possible thing - like the calender hanging on kitchen wall. It's hard to see days and dates after that but it works
