Hello from Barnacules Nerdgasm [WAN show guest]

Hello Nerds!

 

My name is Jerry (aka. Barnacules) and I recently was a guest on the WAN show and I had an absolute blast. Linus and SlickPC are a great bunch of guy and I felt very comfortable and welcome. I love meeting new like minded nerds so I figured I would come over here and create an account on the forum. If you guys want to check out my YouTube channel just head over to (http://barnnerd.com) which will redirect you and let me know what you think. My channel is very diverse but has a common theme of technology and my Nerd Cave (the room I shoot in) is a bit over the top because I enjoy sharing my crazy idea of what I like with the rest of the world (even if it's not everyones cup of tea).

 

WAN show I was a guest on

 

If you guys want to know a little about me I am a Software Developer in the test dissapline at Microsoft and have been for the last 15 years. It's a great company to work for but I am in no way a 'fan boy'. I own and use all technology! A good eample would be console gaming. I have a XBOX One, PS4 and WiiU and I like each one of them for different reasons (The WiiU I'm still trying to figure out to be completely honest :P) and for laptops I have a MacBook Pro 17 and a Lenovo X1 Carbon and for tablets I have a Google Nexus 7 (Android), Apple iPad (iOS) and a Microsoft Surface RT (Windows 8.1) and I use them all. A lot of people like to throw the fan boy tag on me once I say I work at Microsoft but the truth is I'm a much more effective employee when I have an open mind about all technology and become aware of all technology instead of just blindly saying 'ours in the best' and ignoring the competition.

 

YouTube is my hobby and I love doing producing. My YouTube channel is in no way affiliated with Microsoft and is a personal production of me during my own free time so please don't ask me questions about things that would fall under an NDA nature. I absolutely love the people I've met online producing it and I love sharing my videos with the world. If I'm completely honest I do like showing off (who doesn't). It's fun to show people the stuff you have especially when you built it, modified it or did something to make it your own. I also love seeing other peoples setups and I'm blown away by some of the stuff I found online through some of my subscribers and a lot of the inspiration for the stuff I do comes from others. It also makes me smile when I get a mail saying someone created a Nerd Cave and were inspired by me.

 

I'm pretty heavy into most things nerdy, I'm an avid software developer and program in C, C++ & C# primarily using mostly Microsoft technologies and I also do some web development and database development using ASP.NET, MVC4, AJAX, HTML5, CSS & SQL and for fun I enjoy 3D printing (I have an Ultimaker & Robo3D printer) and I love building computers and playing games. There are only a handful of games that I've played through on campaign because I derive real enjoyment from interacting with real people (even when my ass is being handed to me most of the time). It takes a pretty amazing campaign mode to really pull me in. My all time favorite game series would be Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted for PS3 and Guns of the Patriot was probably my favorite game that I played end to end (even my wife loved it). I just finished the main story line in GTA5 and I would say it was a close tie for keeping me engaged, I really loved the characters (mostly Trevor :P).

 

I also love cars! I'm a huge fan of rally driving and have completed several classes at DirtFish Rally School (http://dirtfish.com) and also do some IT work for them. My daily driver is a 2005 Subaru WRX STI that is Stage 2 and I never get tired of driving it. I actually can't wait for some snow just so I can lock the diff and do some lock to lock donuts. I also enjoy mountain bike riding and have a Santa Cruz Blur but I really need to get out more (it's too cold right now). I've also taken my car to track days at the Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA and it's been great fun. I try to take any opertunity I can get to go out driving! I also have an amazing racing simulator in the Nerd Cave that I'm in the middle of doing a big overhaul on to add 5 large audio transducers too. You can check it out below if you're interested.

Some of my favorite YouTube channels (besides LinusTechTips) include JayzTwoCents & TimmyTechTV. They are both produced by great guys that are insanely passionate about technology and really shows in their content. I worked with Tim (@TimmyTechTV) at Microsoft for years and he's a very genuine kind of 'what you see is what you get' kind of guy and I respect that hugely. He has also been a guest on the WAN show before. Jay (@JayzTwoCents) is a guy I met while producing my channel months ago and we hit it off. We have a lot in common and both are very passionate about technology and our families and we have helped eachother out quite a bit and one thing you really need on YouTube is friends and he's been an amazing one.

 

Alright well I'm sure this is way overkill for my first post to the forum but I really wanted to kick off my first thread with some meat on the bone so hopefully people can comment (or troll) with a little information about me not having to go at it blind :P I look forward to hanging out in the forums and posting much more often. It's really hard to find a good forum these days but I have a good feeling about this one!

 

Here is a video of my Nerd Cave if you're interested

That's probably the most awesome and kick-ass setup I've seen ever. You have literally everything a nerd/geek/enthusiast needs!

 

My favorite part: the light switch.

It's only a problem if it reads 'NaN' :P

Some of my favorite people to talk to are people I've met that are not famous.

 

Just because you can, you need to turn on your lazer lights or whatever they are, grab some LED light strips, and do a Linus... :P 

 

 

I have some LED strips on order, might have to do this :P

I printed one and it didn't turn out too well, I need to put on the smaller .025 nozzle and try to print them at higher resolution.
