It was 2001, and I had this vision.  Ha ha, well, based on on some technology we were developing at Deskin Research Group,  a group of brilliant satellite, communications and signal processing engineers (among many other things).

I had no idea at the time, my name for this vision was also the pinnacle song in movie Deep Throat, nor did I foresee that the term “bubble” was about to become a connotation for bad things in the tech industry.  Oh, well, I had fun learning the power of Flash.

The MagicBubble product concept and platform (i2i) generated a lot of excitement within Deskin and for them (they got bought out by some Japanese outfit I heard shortly after the fallout from the bubble burst and 911).   The concept and design was an 802.11 alternative technology and device communications standard (or possibly new proposed standard) using a different part of the spectrum that was then, and is currently being used by what we all know now as WiFi and Bluetooth products. The advantages of the technology allowed for imagining advance solutions perhaps still a dream today…at least not at the low cost we were proposing…

This is a snippet of a much larger presentation (I left the technical part out which may still be propriatary for all I know). The song (maybe the best part)i one of my favs, a band called the plimsouls… I’ll have to get a higher res version up later.  Done in Flash, back then not as powerful as today, but I had a lot of fun doing it.  I had close to a zero budget for multimedia and marketing tools and it was meant for internal use only. Oh yeah, and that cute kid blowing the bubble, that’s my son James.

I think the project actually got bought off by some far east company after I left (gee, that sounds familiar)…

This was done in Flash, the version before Adobe bought Macromedia…I really had fun doing it…I wish I could have continued doing flash development and marketing, however annoying I think flash can be do users these days.
