Hello World!
As a teen and young man I avoided learning to program computers like the plaque. I thought I was too cool for school.
I'm kicking myself now, lamenting a misspent youth. I can't seem to get much past the hello world stage, but someday...
About Me
I've always liked to tinker, and over the past couple of years I've really turned it up a notch. Starting off by building myself reprap 3D printer at home and more recently by helping found and operate the Maker Station makerspace in Marietta, GA. I don't think I would have ever built the printer if not for first reading about them in Make Magazine way back in 2005 and by discovering Freeside Atlanta maker space around 2010.
My background, skill set, and passions are primarily mechanical... I'm a knuckle dragging mechanical engineer, but I'm dragging my knuckles straight into the future trying to expand my horizons in the digital age and pick up some rudimentary programming and electronic skills. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of mechanical and digital.
Thank you interwebz for sharing the knowledge, @tanjuB
