Yeah. It's been a loooong time. I was an emancipated minor at 15. I did get a job at neopets at the height of the dot com boom and I did not end up going. Maybe I sold that PHP job and got emancipated and then the neopets thing happene

At that time if you could upload PHP code to an FTP and it connected to a mySQL database you were a pretty rare animal. I mean, this is not long after PHP became a thing at all. Most important stuff was Java or Perl out there on the web. I

Yeah. Small town kid with undiagnosed brain problems with a 1997 $150,000 salary. I'd never had more than a few hundred dollars to my name before. For sure my life would be very different but it's pretty hard to say what would hav

When I was 15, so.... like 1997? Whatever. I had been writing PHP for a year and was having a bad time at school and life in general and I applied for a job at NeoPets and got through all the interviews and got a $150,000 offer with a reloc

That is absolutely fascinating. I've spent over a decade doing R&D for computer interface. I've played with EEG off and on. I've done a lot with myoelectrics. I spend a lot of time trying to find color, light, sound, and

I love a good manifesto. I'm excited to read it over the weekend. The initial pitch appears to be in line with my interests. Big fan of the minimalism in the pitch.

Thinking about how gravitational waves pass through us all the time stretching us out and squishing us and changing how time passes has for some reason been one of the most comforting realizations I've ever had. I still don't quit

I have been trying to hook a client on a useful demo to get someone who is not me to spring for that big display. Lol. The portrait is like $300 though and it looks good on that.

The Kinect Azure is pretty badass. I see why they would say that and it is very funny. I work in computer vision and NUI R&D and it's really hard to understate the accomplishment that is Kniect. I get why most people don't wan

I'm fine with whatever. I'm getting to the point where I wish I was liquidated or vaporized in 2018. Shut off the power, tell me I have to live in the woods, take away my car, starve me. Wait. That's what is going to happen a
