Wired writer Clive Thompson becomes a product designer with the help of eMachineShop and documents his project in a short online article today. Most designers already know the drill, but read it for how an average person is caught up in the design process. We can all surely relate.As I finish each concept, I click a button and up pops a lifelike 3-D view of my design. I spin it around to view it from all angles. Seeing a virtual version of each creation floating in space is very cool. I quickly discover that amateur engineering gives me the same rush as playing a round of Halo. I even lose track of time, obsessively tweaking and refining my guitars until I look up and realize it's way past midnight.Buy stock in things that keep people awake during their day job while you can.
