COMMENT

FAVE

We approached Apple Australia in 1994, and they agreed to help us develop a touch screen Gift Guide for our Catalogue Cafe in the City of Sydney. Apple partnered with a software development company called Big Animated Digital ("BAD"); and BAD gave the coding gig to John Scott. Johno worked with the REMO team and delivered a solution that was way ahead of its time.

Anyway, that was a long time ago; before the Internet was really an option for the REMO General Store. Since then both Johno and REMO have spent slabs of time in the US learning by doing in the areas of interactivity and multimedia.

In the light of all of this, it is somewhat appropriate that Johno should be the CustOMER to have come up with the idea of Always On as a REMO T Shirt. Don't know too much about the origin of the icon (do you?), but chances are you've seen this button glowing away somewhere or other.

Always On. Always Thinking. Is this you?

| Binary that glows
The green on/off symbol seems to really glow on the stark white of the t-shirt. I am sure passersby are tempted to come up to me and press my chest when I am wearing this ... I'll keep you posted if it ever happens! By the way, no one seems to have linked the 1 (one) and 0 (zero) symbols for on and off, respectively, to the binary number system which underpins computer functioning. There you go. Do you think there might be a market for an amber "stand by" version? Now the geeks might love that!

| Go nerds!
Bought this for one of my fabulously nerdy friends, makes a great change from getting computer geeky stuff which nerds always get to first so you end up having to take it back and then evolve to just buying nerdy vouchers..Boring! This went down a treat. Thanks again REMO!

| Sometimes on, sometimes off, sometimes not
This may put you to sleep, but you asked so here goes:

The symbol for power represents two of the states a machine can be at: powered (on) or not (off); the latter can be divided into fully off (that is, no power available) and sleeping or in standby mode. Some devices can only have two states (e.g., a lightbulb), while others can have three or even four (e.g., computers and bears can be on, sleeping, hibernating or off).

The usual modern symbols were 0 and 1, indicating power being available or not, stood next to each other or separated by a slash, and were later combined so that the 1 (or an upright bar) would stand inside the 0 (or a circle enclosing the bar). The current usage in which the circle fully encloses the upright bar stands for ‘power either on or off’, while the one in which the bar cuts the circle indicates that the machine is (or should be) also capable of ‘standby.’

The symbols and their usage are currently described by two international standards, IEC 60417 and ISO 7000. Note that not all manufacturers use the symbols consistently or in line with the capabilities of the equipment.

Thus, assuming REMO is in line with the two international standards above, your T-shirt can successfully identify the four physical or mental states the owner can be at: fully on, fully off, (fully) idling or (fully) hibernating, as indicated by a series of control signals observed from activity or body language.

| Origin?
It's pretty obvious (as Johno would know) that the icon itself is derived from the combination of symbols for the "Off" (zero) and "On" (one). They used to be separated on the old rocker switches on electrical equipment, but when modern devices started to use only a single push button, some bright spark came up with the combined icon, with the green colour obviously reflecting the "on" illumination. The identity of that person remains a mystery to me, though.

I've been shopping at Remo since it first opened on Oxford Street, one notable Christmas I think I bought every single present there. My father still has the bird whistle. This year, my sister has re-discovered the cuisinaire rods and is so excited to be able to buy them for her 3 year old daughter. We have fond memories, and an ongoing love of the patterns and logic of mathematics, thanks to these!
