Oh, and then there’s the original one: the Oracle of Bacon. Everyone knows about the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game, but now you can verify it. You can do an oracle for anyone.

I’m a web developer and probably more sensitive than most to bad design. When things don’t work as you expect or are difficult to use, I get frosted.

BadDesigns.com is just the place to get a guy like me torqued. Apparently, I am not alone in my disdain for unusable stuff. The site is replete with unusable cell phones, annoying oatmeal lids, confusing controls, and weird designs.

Don’t even get me started about bad designs with unclear messages.
