NeXT Logo by Paul Rand

[via Logo Design Love ] Next, Inc. (later Next Computer, Inc. and Next Software, Inc. and stylized as NeXT) was an American computer company headquartered in Redwood City, California, that developed and manufactured a series of computer workstations intended for the higher education and business markets. NeXT was founded in 1985 by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs after he was fired from Apple in 1985. Despite NeXT's limited commercial success, the company had a wide-ranging impact on the computer industry. Object-oriented programming and graphical user interfaces became more common after the 1988 release of the NeXTcube and NeXTSTEP, when other companies started to emulate NeXT's object-oriented system. Apple started the Taligent project in 1989, with the goal of building a NeXT-like operating system for the Macintosh, with collaboration from both HP and IBM. NeXT on Wikipedia

A new show to work on!

So, I'll be hanging out in Windham, NH for a few days this week, and not just for the heck of it, I'll be working as a PA on an episode of Food Network 's ' Restaurant: Impossible '. I got an email from the Production Manager a couple weeks ago who was looking for local PA's. I said, sure I'd be happy to help out. Then I got the Production Schedule on Friday and I am on the call sheet, so that makes it official. I'll be on set Monday - Wednesday and the weather looks great so we should be dry and comfortable. I hope they appreciate the New Hampshire hospitality!
