Title: I shall never rush to comment...
Post by: MadeInTheDark on September 21, 2013, 09:18:46 PM
... so a short new member intro... hmm... age:60, sex:male, gene pool: 7 with a male to female ratio of 5/2, age distribution set: 27, 25, 23, 21, 18, 15,13.
... aspirations (I hate 'bucket list', my generation should be tar and feathered) ...lets see, too old to take over the world, Ah yes my default, formulated in my youth: To leave this world having had one original idea.

Hoping to find inspiration to full fill my aspirations here.

Hi, MitD. Welcome. I have to say, best intro ever. I'm onboard with the idea of having had one original idea, but I would add to it. To leave this world having had one original idea, and having shared it with someone else.

Thank you cutter... '...and share with someone else' ... that's the rub, isn't it? In my work -- software engineer, oh god I know everybody around here is an engineer, a particle physicist or a mysterious traveller of the universe,.. as I said  in my work ideas are constrained by time, resource and money. The ''original ideal" sharing,  at least for moi seems to be constrained by procrastination, confidence and circumstance. I often dream of finding the MitD equivalent of Einstein's Swiss Patent Office, But of course MitD ain't no Einstein. Perhaps sharing is just a matter of practice... so I practice. Thanks again for including me in your practice :)
