Hey friends!

I am writing to you from my garage, where I am using my sister's and my Dremel laser cutter!! I have had some tough problems to solve at work, and boy, laser cutting at the end of the day is such a treat. Let's get scootin!

Something that interested me this week

Like I mentioned in the intro, I'm laser cutting as we speak! I finally got a bunch of materials to mess around with, and my first little project was making a ruler for myself earlier this week! Currently I'm making some coasters as a gift for a friend, and I'm planning on making some keyboard parts later this week. It's a BLAST.

I'm thinking about starting an Etsy shop or something so I can have more excuses to use it, otherwise my house is going to be so full of small wood and plastic and leather parts (not that that's a bad thing). That being said, if you yourself want something laser cut, feel free to reply to this or ping me on Twitter, maybe we can work something out!
 

Interview question of the week

Last week I had you validate a "Boggle" puzzle, and Ryan did a great job!

This week's question: 
Let's do a conceptual one this week! How would you explain functional programming versus object-oriented programming to a non-developer?
 

Cool things from around the internet

'I hire a man to pretend to be my daughter’s dad - and she doesn't know'
Chicago before and after the polar vortex
The Way Superman Picks Up a Building Is a Physics Travesty
DZ60 Custom Build
 

Joke

I don't mean to be rude, but I found the Super Bowl to be super boring. No offense.
 
Alright friends, that's all for now! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and fold your socks.
