It was very clear right from my first day at NeXT Computer that design standards were high. Our office, a small two story building in the hills above Palo Alto, was finished with unusual attention to detail. Steve (known to us as “SJ”) would stop by my desk at least once a day, and weigh in on every detail of the final mechanical design of our first product, the NeXT Cube. It was our first product and had to be “perfect”.

I also had an opportunity to connect with Michael Gennert from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) . Michael is the Director of Robotics Engineering, which is part of the Department of Computer Science. I'm a WPI grad (though well before Michael's tenure)—and it was interesting to hear about the changes and growth at my alma mater. One of the few Robotics Engineering programs in the U.S., WPI is participating in the DARPA Robotics Challenge.
