Met a great kid on the plane
A couple of weeks ago I was flying back to St. Louis and I was sitting next to a 10 year old boy flying back to visit his father for the weekend. He was pretty shy at first but we got to talking about computers after I pulled out my Tablet PC and let him draw inside of Windows Journal. He loved the Tablet interface and drew a great picture (attached to this blog).
Well after we talked a bit he told me that he just built a 9 volt battery USB charger following the directions on this blog: http://www.aarondunlap.com/blog/1130885615
That is too freaking cool! It's amazing that a 10 year old is not only reading blogs but building computer components by following instructions on a blog.
He told me that he wanted to work for Microsoft when he grows up, if he keeps going I have no doubt that he will!
