Bro you and I had the same origin story. Remember Rampage Toolz!?? I ended up learning a lot from that author. Winsock.

For me my first programmed action was adding a button to a form, coloring it yellow, and having it exit program. I was absolutely shocked and geeked out.

Still just a hobby for me, but I have something in the works. I hope to share it with you all here soon.

I started a job in Fresno in 2013, driving up from LA on Sunday and back down on Friday.

Bluetooth had started to become standard in all cars, and as I was working on a train project, the idea occurred that if we could link all the freeway cars in series, and treat it as one long train, then I would essentially just have to steer, and we all would avoid brake-waves.

One car only needs to be able to talk to the one car in front of and the one car behind itself.
