Parents didn't want to buy me a computer, so in grade 7 I made my own with no experience or internet from computers that people had thrown in the garbage. Took a year to make, I discovered so much from scratch, and I kept looking for tossed computers  The Rig I made before retiring was capable of playing Skyrim at about 30FPS (Not near water). Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz (Hyper-threading) Socket 478, Intel Board with AGP 16x, Rocking the Best AGP video Card (The HD4650 1 GB AGP), and two SATA Ports, 1 TB of Storage Total. All of which was "Garbadgeio". It took some time, but I was finally able to buy my first prebuilt and work with that. Fond memories, originally made me want to open my own computer repair shop, but times, and my goals have changed drastically.

Due to working close to 6–7 days a week, alternating 8-12 hr shifts, getting a desktop was relatively pointless, and I required a light Lappy with decent firepower on the go. Now that I'm fully mobile, I can focus fully on my education (Doctorate in philosophy, specialized in Astrophysics I hope). I have much to self improve, Math skills from the ground up, and French as a second language. I'm highly passionate about science, and the constant evolution of technology, but there are significant gaps with our ability to accommodate the integration of new and evolving technologies with society, with many uncertainties and instabilities in the world, I hope to be able to contribute my experience to the progressing of regulation that corresponds with the needs of society, as well as protects the future and how these technologies can, and should, or shouldn't be used.
