@pablohidalgo I actu­al­ly didn’t learn that the Emperor’s name was Pal­pa­tine (or Darth Sid­i­ous or any­thing oth­er than “Emperor”) until read­ing the Zahn books fresh­man year of col­lege. But yeah, there’s always been a big­ger world than just the films.

The Bazz Fuss

You know a pro­jec­t’s been lin­ger­ing too long when your son — who could­n’t care less about gui­tar or effects ped­als — won­ders into your office one day, points to a jum­ble of wires and com­po­nents, and asks “are you ever going to fin­ish this thing?”  That “thing” is the bazz fuss cir­cuit I sol­dered onto… Con­tin­ue read­ing The Bazz Fuss

@GlenCasada What do you mean you don’t tol­er­ate this behav­ior? You paid him a $200k salary know­ing full well his behav­ior since he rou­tine­ly texted you about it and you even asked if you can touch? It’s dis­gust­ing, you knew, and you should resign now. #Resign­Casa­da
