Design Challenges

KISS Principle applied to real life

As I was saying earlier, design is best when kept simple and to the point. The same can be said about life. I been looking for a cheap car for the past month with no luck. Now myself being a Web person felt that the best place to look for this vehicle would be online.

I set out to look on the typical places, eBay, AutoTrader, Edmunds, KBB, etc... Luck would have it, I found what appeared to be the perfect vehicle on eBay, I began the bidding war (you fellow ebayers know what I'm talking about), to be defeated time and time again. Finally, I struck lucky and won what was described as a vehicle in excellen condition. I drove four hours to pick up this car to find a junker. I left the place very dissapointed and with all hope lost, that was my saturday. Sunday, I spent all day driving the local roads (going back to basics), this is where it gets simple. After locating a slew of local possibilities, I went to the movies (The Wedding Crashers - excellent comedy btw) and in my way home found a car for sale, about 1/2 mile from my place. I purchased it last night.

Moral of the story, just like your designs, look for the simple answer.
