I can do whatever I want. They will tell me if what I am doing is stupid or a total waste of time. I may tell them that they are wrong, and we will come to an agreement.

On the robot kit, I can choose very boring parts or I can choose exciting and interesting parts. That is a reflection of my personality and the kinds of things I am interested in.

Even though Raster Blaster was only a video game, I was learning about designing stuff. I got good at drawing.

I have a really powerful urge to see things work.

After two weeks of working on a project, you know whether it will work or not.

To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better.

All of the good stuff is going to be done in the future. The stuff we are doing now is crummy compared with what will finally mature.
