User Centered

My truck, knock on wood, has been a paragon of reliability and good fortune. Karma, fates, all those willing to do me harm, take note: I ultimately like my truck because it successfully has gotten me from point A to B with no major events for the better part of 9 years.

That said, I wanted to pull this post up: It's hip to be square (or why I would like a minivan) up from the "User Centered Archives*" again because I still manage to encounter this on a weekly basis. Only this time, you have the benefit of a MS Paint illustration! See? ...Retreads can be exciting and new!

...you realize that you have now caged yourself off from the known world. Pinned between your car's interior, your two doors and the car behind you. Not too bad a proposition, until you realize that your groceries and child are on the other side of the doors. So you have to load them all up while opening and closing the door each time (why not put everything in the back? -I live in Minnesota)

Oh boy- ...those doors aren't to scale
