At a bit after 11:00 on Friday 04 February, 2005, Rose, Alima, Ian and I (Jessie) met in the conference room to introduce ourselves, familiarize ourselves with the Real Reaction task and brainstorm ideas about the new television remote control. Rose, the project manager, led the meeting, and began by asking us to become comfortable with the dry-erase board by using it to draw our favorite animals. Alima picked a turtle because she likes how it is able to travel with it's home, Ian drew a whale because he likes their mysteriosness, Rose illustrated a coyote like the ones she grew up listening to in California and I attempted to draw my favorite playful, water loving creature, a seal. We then moved on to discussing ideas for the new remote, such as it's need to not be too complicated. We got a bit sidetracked talking about remotes that would handle all sorts of electronics only to realize that this remote is solely to function the television. We ended by dividing up tasks for the next meeting.
