Well not me, but something that I worked on has appeared on Star Trek Enterprise. Last night, watching season 2 episode 9, “singularity”, there is a scene in the galley. In the background is the unmistakable shape of a Kenwood Major.

I few years ago, Kenwood was my employer. One of the last things I was working on before leaving them was a new control knob for the Kenwood Chef and Major range of food mixers. It was only a brief shot in the TV show, and even pausing and looking carefully, it is not all that clear, but I am certain that the control knob on the mixer used on the show is the same one I was working on.

Admittedly, it would have been much cooler to have some association with a warp core or photon torpedo. But how many of you can watch an episode of Star Trek and say, “I worked on that!”

Now where is my Klingon phrase book, I am off to a convention… 🙂
