Gregory's Server@alextm Indeed. the guy I replaced as webmaster for our big sites at IBM moved on to a really fun job he lucked into, working with a team that envisioned and built a demo of a fully connected/integrated living area and garage. This was 20 years ago. I know they had a blast working on that project. I just got to see the work in progress.

 @alextm Yes, I appreciate the consistency across products and even mediums! That's something I often had to battle with. :) The connected space guys were having a blast on the project and I was a bit jealous. They were envisioning things like connected kitchens and refrigerators before those things really existed, and monitoring/alerts/etc. for all of the many systems on a connected car, etc. I couldn't help but ponder many aspects of it, even though it wasn't my project... |
@croyle That sounds like a really fun project. One of the things I loved doing at Braun was creating consistent design across a range of mediums, everything from our websites to packaging to the UX and hardware design of the product itself. Working on a large system like connected home would be right up my alley. And I bet it would have been especially interesting at that point in time when most of it hadn’t been imagined at all yet!
