Irony...

Just an interesting observation about my current path with design.

Freshman year at Carnegie Mellon I applied and was accepted to the dual major program in Human Computer Interaction. Being asked by family and friends what that actually was, I began using the phrase "cell phones and atms". This was generally accepted by my audience in that everyone has had experience with shoddy cell phone interfaces and how they map, or dont map, to the physical device and everyone has had experience with ATM machines.

Lo and behold, now I work for PNC bank. The focus of my work is on mobile banking. So, I am not doing anything with ATMs, but I sure am in the financial market, designing cell phone interfaces, keeping in mind the physical and digital realms and their overlap.

Just some entertaining thoughts.
