  • My 10th grade physics teacher.

    The way he explained things made me realize that the world had rules that could be used predict how things worked.

    This blew my mind. I wanted to do something about it. I researched until I figured out mechanical engineering made the most sense to me.

    The best part of my job is the initial stages of a project. You usually get together with your coworkers and brainstorm/bullshit for a couple hours throwing ideas around and shooting them down.

    Also prototyping is really fun. 3D printers have made it super quick to generate a bunch of prototypes and figure out what works, what needs work, and what isn’t with thinking about anymore.





  • The Internet was…Weird. it was way more anonymous and way less centralized. You didn’t just check Reddit or Lemmy or YouTube, you had a favorites bar. You would go down the list and check 4 different flash websites, 3 forums, and some news/entertainment article sites.

    And friends would constantly tell you new sites you had to check out. And webcomics. You would find a webcomic and read it from the start, then add it to your weekly update list.

    It was also peak gross Internet. You would always be wary of links friends would send. Goatse and lemon party were guaranteed to be hiding in one.

    Everyone had their favorite flash game site. Simple, one player games that you did just for fun. No achievements or social element besides sharing the link with a friend.
