You had to be there. I'll get serious later, but for now, enjoy the screaming flying monkeys, brought to you by the folks at P&G Design.

About Me
- Katherine Bennett
- Santa Monica, California
- I teach at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. I'm a product designer by training, and since the early 90s I've specialized in design research. I like to watch people, talk to them and work with them to understand why they do what they do. I want to find out what it takes to make designs truly useful.

Katherine - I've been looking for the flying monkeys forever. Look at what fun you guys are having, OMG.
Supposedly they were the best-selling toy (product?) at Bed Bath and Beyond last year. Yes, they are fun. Very fun in the airport, when you wheel your suitcase over a bump and it screams. I hope the TSA thinks it's funny...
