  John conceived the idea and made the original design of Teletext in the early 1970's whilst working at Philips / Mullard Central Application Laboratories (CAL) in London.   He left Manchester university in 1970 with a passionate desire to work in the field of electronic brains, (now called AI), digital computing and information systems. Though less than a year out of university, Philips promoted John in 1971 to Lead Designer for Computer Data Entry Terminals. This was a new field as computers at that time typically used mechanical machines (teletypes) for data entry. His development of advanced computer text displays was ground-breaking work in itself. However, John's interest in the potential for a home information system continued. An obstacle was the high expense of the large amount of electronics that would be required by each home TV to make it possible. Unfortunately, the necessary technology to reduce the cost did not yet exist. Remember that this was the early years of the Information Revolution. Computers were very rare. Those that existed were the size of large rooms and found in a few big companies and institutions. Intel had only recently invented the microprocessor and PCs and smart phones were things of the future. The chips that John required and which would fuel the Information Revolution were yet to be invented. John has some very amusing anecdotes from his Teletext time at Mullard. Tales of sitting in a London pub in 1971 nursing a half pint of Guinness whilst hoping for inspiration to help him dream up a design that would both work on the old, mal-adjusted TV of his granny! and yet also be cheap enough for her to buy.   His first idea to add digital electronics to home TVs and create a UK wide information system was born in 1970 whilst working on experimental electronics for computer data entry. In fact, John's design was prepared for an early implementation as reasonably priced modules to add to an existing TV and for a future low cost application when integrated in to chips. His designs became the base of the Mullard Teletext Decoder Modules, the Mullard Teletext chips and Teletext systems throughout the World.   Philips, as one of the World's biggest TV tube manufacturers backed the Teletext idea as it had potential to increase screen sales. Mullard CAL Management had two additional requirements: It should be affordable to “the man in the street” and be able to work on very old black and white TV sets as well as on the latest colour ones. In 1971 John devised a design and plan that overcame all technical obstacles and achieved both these goals. He drew up a proposal for a complete Teletext system. Included were a receiver for installation on home TVs and other essentials for a nationwide information system. For example: How the TV broadcaster could transmit the information to users homes. How multiple information pages could be made available and selected and many other technical details. The proposal was sent to the BBC and to the UK Independent Broadcasters.   It lead to the launch of BBC Ceefax in 1974. The text display and fundamental design that John had devised became the basis of the World standard for Teletext. In the following years it was implemented in many countries under a wide variety of names. At Mullard, John went on to work on complex display systems and microprocessor designs. After that he worked as an independent digital design consultant at ITT Research Labs. In the late 1970's he was headhunted by Intel where he worked for many years. He left Intel to start his own company in Spain where amongst other things he designed major testers for manufacturing lines producing electronics used by tier-1 automotive companies.   In 1990 we sailed our boat from Poole harbour to El Puerto de Santa Maria near Cadiz to start our new life in Spain and where we still live – but that is another story ! - Lorraine Bronny 2024

Our U.S. Open series of podcasts continues this week with Angela Moser. She was the lead designer of Pinehurst No. 10, the resort's newest golf course in nearly three decades. While Tom Doak receives credit as the main designer, Moser played a daily and intricate role in building and shaping the course which opened in April to rave reviews. Moser is immensely talented as a landscape architect and golf course designer but does so in a male-dominated industry. Originally from Germany, Moser has traveled the world under Doak's guidance for more than 10 years and has more than earned the respect of her boss and her peers. Check out the latest Paradise in the Pines from the U.S. Open as Moser talks about creating Pinehurst No. 10 and how she made her way within the golf industry. ‪@pinehurstresort‬ ‪@GolfDigest‬ ‪@GolfChannel‬ ‪@visitnc‬ #visitnc #homeofamericangolf

Noah and Alli Hutchison met during their college years at Baylor, and grew a friendship through their shared involvement in a church community - Antioch Waco.  Alli started doing interior design work for friends and their friends soon after college, and eventually they worked in church ministry, with Noah as the Childrens & Family Director.  They moved to Fort Collins in 2015 where Noah was the Executive Director for Antioch Fort Collins - basically leading the administrative function to allow the Pastors to focus on service and teaching.  I first heard about Noah when he ran for city council in Fort Collins in 2019 as a relative newcomer to town - and fell just short.  Their season in ministry with Antioch ended about the same time, and Noah and Alli both went to work in construction, with Noah first as CFO and later President of Mighty Hand Construction, and Alli as Lead Designer - and only for a few seasons.  Hutch Design Build was launched in April of 2022, and has already grown to a team of 7!  Hutch Design Build offers design-first custom solutions for major remodels and additions, accessory dwelling units, and full-custom family homes - and as of a few days before this conversation Noah and Alli have secured the longtime coffee house location The Bean Cycle in Old Town Fort Collins - and have some amazing plans for the space.  You'll have to tune in to hear about those plans, and also to get to know an amazing couple, using their shared strengths to make client's home and family dreams come true!  So please enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Noah and Alli Hutchison.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Logistics Co-op | https://logisticscoop.com/

In this special episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, Wizards of the Coast Lead Designer Amanda Hamon joins the team to discuss the latest Dungeons and Dragons release, Vecna, Eve of Ruin. We talk about the history of Vecna in D&D, his motivations, and how he fits into the 50th anniversary celebration of D&D. We also discuss the inclusion of Greyhawk and other classic settings in the adventure, as well as the return of iconic characters like Mordenkainen and Elminster. Amanda provides insight into the development and excitement surrounding this major adventure release. Amanda also share with us the inclusion of lesser-known characters like Strahd, Lord Soth, and Miska the Wolf Spider. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of designing a high-level adventure and the importance of creating a simple yet engaging narrative. The hosts also ask about new monsters and magic items in the book. In this final part of the conversation, the hosts and guest discuss the use of a magic item called the Head of Vecna, which can banish powerful creatures to other planes of existence. They also give advice to players who are new to high-level play. Stay tuned until the end for the free-flowing conversation with Amanda.

With the growth in popularity around permaculture and food forests, even people without access to their own land are looking into opportunities to come together and create beautiful edible landscapes that everyone can access on public land. Enter community orchards or food forests. These are increasingly being grown on abandoned lots, local parks, or forgotten strips of land that caring neighbors take interest in and decide to grow perennial food and medicine crops on. Yet as the number of people involved grows, and the need to conform to regulations and permit processes, many people can get lost in the complexities during the attempt.  To help me better understand these challenges and opportunities, I reached out to Jessica Robertson in Canada who has helped design and install a number of community food forests and helped to illuminate the process from her experience.  Jessica is the Owner, Designer, and Head Grunt at Wild Craft Permaculture and a Lead Designer at United Designers International. Jessica has designed holistic permaculture systems for spaces from 200 sq. ft. to 200-acres and works on residential, commercial, and public projects. She is often involved in the implementation of these designs and loves sharing her knowledge with clients as they work alongside each other. She brings a background in biology, education, silviculture and urban planning to her work. In this episode, Jessica shares insights from decades of experience in the permaculture world, showing how people from all walks of life can reconnect with the earth in deeper and more active ways. We'll also work carefully through the process of designing, setting up, and keeping up with community food forests, including things people often forget about and realistic expectations for maintenance. And to top it off, we'll give you some easy steps to create your own successful community food forest right in your own neighborhood.

Jen Olmstead, co-founder and Lead Designer of TONIC Site Shop, takes us along on her journey from accidental entrepreneur to successful Showit website template designer over the past 11 years. She shares the importance of storytelling in marketing and the power of creating content that is valuable, engaging, and fun to create – anything but boring. Jen emphasizes the need to focus on quality over quantity and to find the intersection between what you are uniquely capable of delivering and what your audience wants.   Throughout our conversation, Jen shares insights on finding inspiration, sharing your story, and embracing your uniqueness (weirdness?) in your business. She explains WHY design builds trust with your audience – the key factor that leads them to purchase from you. Jen also discusses setting boundaries, prioritizing, and involving your kids in your work. She encourages entrepreneurs to embrace their strengths and be ruthless with what they say no to. Jen shares her perspective on having faith and trusting in God's plan, as well as the importance of doing less but better.    Jen describes how 2023 was the hardest year in business for TONIC, what she and partner Jeff Shipley learned and how 2024 will be different because of it. Thank you so much to Jen for sharing her wit and wisdom with us in this entertaining convo that feels a lot like a high-end marketing masterclass.   Some of the highlights from this episode of BEYOND and my convo with Jen Olmstead: Why focus on creating content that is unique, valuable, and engaging. How to find the intersection between what you are uniquely capable of creating and what your audience wants. What it looks like to prioritize quality over quantity in content creation. How Jen finds inspiration and anticipation in her content creation by setting specific times for thinking, researching and writing. (And how sometimes, it just happens when inspiration strikes.) Why embracing your uniqueness and sharing your story leads you to create content that is anything but boring. What's important about design and a killer website that builds trust with your people. How setting boundaries and prioritizing your work time creates a healthy work-life balance. How embracing your strengths and being ruthless with what you say no to allows you to focus on what truly aligns with your goals and values. What it looks like to Involve your kids in your work and create boundaries to ensure quality time with them. How to identify your most productive time and leverage it to maximize your creativity and productivity. The role of faith in Jen's family life and business: including trust in God's plan, knowing that He will guide you in your journey as a parent and entrepreneur. Simplifying by doing less, but better, honing in on what truly aligns with your vision and goals.
