Super excited about some of the contacts I made this past week and the project opportunities!

This article "Would you hire Steve Jobs" seems to think that hiring Steve Jobs would be a good idea.

No. Everybody who has ever hired him has regretted it. If somebody acts like Steve Jobs, avoid associating with them, please.

We've all met people like that. Just because one of them got really lucky & rode a genius engineer to market dominance in the 70s doesn't mean that it's a recipe for success. It's a recipe for failure with one historically-notable instance of success.

Having research grants isn't worth the trouble.

The power supply on my grandparent's printer died so of course my grandpa is now powering it with car batteries. Of course he is.

Interesting. Received an FOIA request for one of my NSF grant proposals. They could have just asked.

Hello scholar.social! I'm a graduate student in control systems and robotics at Technical University of Denmark. I like open source software and learning new languages both machine and non-machine like.

Trying to get a handle on some things and realizing I have 9 papers (a lot for me) and various stages. scholar.social/media/mkKyT76cB

I always prepare my lecture notes in advance because I'm nervous about forgetting things, but sometimes I'm amazed at the volume of material I can recall from memory at the whiteboard.

Hello! I am an assoc. prof. in engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. I do some work in robotics, engineering education, and engineering design.
