Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Mindstorms RIS(and Technic as parts for Mindstorms)
My fascination with LEGO began... I think I was born with some bricks in hand. Really, I loved Legos from about 3yrs until 15. Then I liked girls for a while, got educated, got a job, and like girls some more. After I got married I found Mindstorms and I'm a fan again!
I once built... Actually I never seem to finish anything. Once I figure out how to do it, I lose interest in perfecting it. My wife enjoyed the underwear collection robot, which did a pretty good job of piling clothes in one corner of my dressing room floor.
Someday I will build... A 'telepresence' robotic submarine. 'Telepresence' is a cross between virtual reality and remote control, which allows you to control a vehicle (submarine) by moving your body and the submarine provides feedback (visual, audio, etc.) to the controller by transmitting signals back to VR equipment.
LEGO is great because... They make products of outstanding value. I still have (parts of) my first set from 28 years ago, and they still get used!
LEGO fans are great because... They're creative.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Corporations. I love managing a business.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Mindstorms. Ballroom dance.
My favorite Foods: Yum!
My favorite Movies & TV: I don't watch much TV. Gladiator was great!
My favorite Artists: Dali's nice.
My favorite Music: Metal, when the wife's not around. Easy listening when she is.
My favorite Pets & Animals: Neko the cat and his buddy Agape'.
Words which best describe me: Leader. Problem solver. Ethical.
I love it when... a good plan comes together.
I hate it when... bedtime comes before I'm ready.
I can't seem to get enough... money. Why can't I have more?
I always seem to have enough... work to do.
I hope I always... keep God first in my life.
I wish I could... keep God first in my life.
I could never... remember how to spell words with "e" and "i" next to each other after "c". It's a good thing we now have spell check software.
I hope I never... get sick?
I wish I hadn't... quit my excercise program. It sure is hard to get started again.
In my craziest moments... people have a good laugh at my expense.
Believe it or not... I used to work on nuclear submarines.
If I were super-human... I'd explore outer-space.
More & Less:
- more Lego technic building manuals., less Brussel Sprouts. These are the source of all that is wrong with the world.
- more Good people., less Mean people.
- more High-paying jobs in corporate finance., less Competition for high-paying jobs in corporate finance.
Rules I try to live by:
- Keep God First
- Love my wife and family
- Take care of myself
Additional comments:
I live in Norfolk, VA. We've got a Mindstorms Users Group (MUG) called Hampton Roads MUG, or HRMUG that meets the last Saturday of each month. Join us if you can!
