-=<{ Generation X raised by Chuck D and Terminator X }>=- Unapologetically feral. I talk plain, it saves time. Spent my childhood a farm, grew up free range in East Side San Jose. No college degree, muscled my way into tech straight out of High School.

I thought I tore one of my bionic rotator cuffs today In my almost entirely artificial right shoulder fucking around in drift cars. shoulder has hurt like absolutely hell after drifting and I just assumed I broke something mechanical in it.

Presenting: My last two laps of the day around Valley Drift Club Meihan in the rental E36 Missile ~ last laps of the day always feel great... Proud of that little backie I threw in on the second one, felt awesome. One hand on the wheel, politely suggesting where I'd like to go, waving to friends :)

Test & Tune out at Valley Drift Club today with CompBetty. I've only driven the BMW E36 missile on the VDC Meihan course In simulation training with CB. My first crack at linking the track in the real car on the real course.

I've spent over the last year learning how to build my own 3D printer from base components to solve a problem because there's not a printer that will quite do what I need it to do for this very specific use case. Very much non-weapons by the way, Motorsports.

Well... Despite threats of violence and some spicy messages saying these glasses would be coming off my face and getting stomped on... I was able to go down to the Alamo Drafthouse and attend an event this evening... wearing my Vanguards while walking around outside.

Well let me help you... Multiple times in my life I have poured my heart and soul into building bleeding edge technology to make the world a better place for people around me. And every time shiny suits show up asking how fast it can be monetized rotting my work. Society isn't worth my effort.

We shouldn't discount the fact that at least part of the data center backlash (and by extension the broader techlash) is because people feel like the tech industry has not given them anything cool, inspiring, beautiful, or useful in a long time

Just over 3 years ago to the day that I started down the path learning to competitively drift using Modern XR hardware and software. Wrote tools, ended up being a product. With that said, I present to you, the sweetest Sim-Drifting victory I have ever had in my three years in the Virtual Cockpit.

A peek at the companion UI for the CompBetty system. We're calling it 'Caster' As in, "CompBetty will get your caster / camber / rake / trail / toe perfect on all 4 corners so can huck and slide to a cozy victory." It is, to put it politely.... incredibly anti-modern-glass-burger-button trend.

Paint things with a broad brush, I call you on bullshit. Open up your mind a little bit, learn to differentiate. You loops are why I'm picking up my ball and leaving the playground for a farm in the middle of nowhere to play with my toys in relative peace. Ya'll can't tell a wrench from a bomb.

How the fuck do you people rub enough synapses together to fasten your Velcro shoes?
