So the boiler is not working. There is a gas leak. It’s cold. Hyperwords is taking longer to get to 1.3. Drop of car for tire change. Walk in cold wind. But then I get to the new Starbucks and the doors open magically...  and the staff recognize me. Awww....

 

Nice lunch with Paul in Putney.

 

Back to Starbucks. The bathroom door looks like this, no lock:

 

 

Which looks nice. However, there is no sign as to wether it is in the locked position. Only when pressing down to open is it clear that up is indeed locked. It’s missing one component: feedback and therefore I think it fails. However, my all time favorite door, at Nero, is the same principle, but has the feedback:

 

Open:

 

 

Locked:

 

 

So elegant and simple, with good transparency of use, good affordance.

 

So back to the cold wind I go! Can’t stay here long, tried T-mobile as roaming, it’s 28 cents a second! Tried to get a monthly account, but it’s the same billing system as their phones so they want a lot of information, such as my last homes! Hmm...
