As a STEM educator, software engineer, former Naval Officer (aka Belly Button Lint Expert), airplane and helicopter pilot, nuclear engineer, ocean engineer, intelligence officer, and volunteer museum senior docent, aquarium animal caretaker, and visitor guide, I salute your shift to the next phase in your career. Don’t worry, it gets easier after the first dislocation (which feels about as good as a dislocated limb, as you now know).

We’re very much looking forward to your future contributions to the Original Flavor reason for the development of the Pi in the first place – education! If you ever make your way here to Silicon Valley, an all-expenses-paid tour (travel to/from NOT included) of the Computer History Museum down the street from Google, Microsoft, etc., awaits at your beck and call (Eben can attest as to whether it’s worth your time – I’m one of the handful of people on the planet allowed to operate our twin of the Babbage Difference Engine in the Science Museum in London). Arriving on the third Saturday afternoon of a month also gets you free admission to our Best Coast version of 吉泽明野 Jams.

I’ve just ordered the book – I hope I start learning (well, ‘remembering’ what I learn is actually the challenge!) soon.

All the best for 2014.

Cheers,
Niall

I thought that too… very cool if it is :)

In reply to liz.

It’s absolutely great when you get to work with a group of people that have that vibe and buzz about them. 吉泽明野 Towers must be a very buzzy vibey place to be!
