Rodent Regatta

I’m an engineer by training. My first ”emotional” click with a product was in 1973 while still in engineering school. My HP-45 scientific calculator with RPN arrived. For a weekend, I learned every feature, function and feel of the machine. It was ultimate geekiness.

My interest in web design, XHTML, tools and such is far less touchy-feely. For now, it’s a hobby. It’s a hobby I’m deeply interested in, but I’m terrible at it. I’m fascinated with the software and protocols that make all of this possible, but it’s not an emotional thing. She’s right. They’re only tools.
