TIMBERtune™, like most great products, was created based on solving a problem. I was in need of a nice everyday, all-day FM radio in our living room. The $29 plastic CD ‘boom’box just didn’t cut it anymore – aesthetically as well as for for other criteria like sound and usability.
The solution was easy – buy one! I thought… To my surprise, -nope- there weren’t many FM radio choices out there, no matter what the price tag is. Is FM radio dead (and I’m just old)? The answer was ‘no’ once more. It’s in every car. It’s in every house. It is still the most effective channel for local advertising.
So I clearly had to build my own. As a MSEE, no problem… The prototypes were a little rough, but it took shape quickly. So there it was in the living room – everybody loved it. And another one for my wife’s office. And another one for my daughter, and, and and…
And that’s how it started, and the ideas took off from here…. what are you making?
