Perfect summary ".. there is still value to be found in creating things that serve humanity in the real world; our humblest three dimensions."

Great read and echoes my conversion from web software to wholistic-product (which includes hardware).

This was a fun read. Thanks for sharing your story. Love to see those who go out of the way to set themselves apart because it's who they are at their core. I'm sure whether you got accepted or not wouldn't change a thing on whether you'd try something similar again.

Fun read and great reference to Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

I highly recommend reading Lila, by Pirsig too!
