11.27.09 "Going Pro"

A few days ago I had the privilege of meeting with the former 4 time super bowl champion Franco Harris! After learning that we would be doing some CAD modeling for his new company it's needless to say that I was super excited. A half hour of joking about how The Cadbox was the official product development company of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and how we could be paid in season tickets, I finally got back to the days work. The project that had to be completed that day was a simple set of concepts of a children's pencil for an entrepreneurial mom. My ego was quickly brought back down to earth, it is good to have projects that keep things in perspective, letting things go to my head is never good :x

11.23.09 "Always Learning"

When I remember my college days I think about all the time I spent outside of the classroom doing "product designerly things". I would skip an english class to learn the features of our CNC lathe, render an image while waiting for my food at the sandwich shop, and stay at the school 'til 11pm watching machining videos on Youtube. I just realized the other day how this has definitely not stopped.

While sitting with my wife and her parents I caught myself (after what I am guessing was a solid 10 minutes) of staring at their TV remote. I was visually measuring the tolerances between the rubber keys, the abs enclosure, the IR LED. I kept popping the battery cover on and off studying the properties of the "living hinge" etc. I wonder how many times I subconsciously study something, fiddle with something,and listen to something all in hopes to learn as much as I can about product design? I hope I never stop!
