it's a googly eyes 37 00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:17,110 myself a shirt it's a googly eyes it took me 14 hours and 227 googly eyes 38 00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:17,120 it took me 14 hours and 227 googly eyes 39 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,300 it took me 14 hours and 227 googly eyes to make this shirt and being able to 40 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:19,310 to make this shirt and being able to 41 00:01:19,310 -->

00:01:41,750 and nobody really likes it if there were 59 00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:43,780 and nobody really likes it if there were only 7 year-olds in the audience they'd 60 00:01:43,780 --> 00:01:43,790 only 7 year-olds in the audience they'd 61 00:01:43,790 --> 00:01:47,410 only 7 year-olds in the audience they'd be like yes so what about if you had a 62 00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:47,420 be like yes so what about if you had a 63 00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:57,290 be like yes so what about if you had a machine that could do it for you 64 00:01:57,290 --> 00:01:57,300 65 00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:03,530 I call it uh I call it the toothbrush 66 00:02:03,530 --> 00:02:03,540 I call it uh I call it the toothbrush 67 00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:18,210 I call it uh I call it the toothbrush helmet 68 00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:18,220 69 00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:21,280 so my toothbrush helmet is recommended 70 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:21,290 so my toothbrush helmet is recommended 71 00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:23,890 so my

writing about in the 161 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,180 down the thing I'm writing about in the email and the thing I'm so upset about 162 00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:35,190 email and the thing I'm so upset about 163 00:04:35,190 --> 00:04:38,740 email and the thing I'm so upset about is that I got a B on a math test 164 00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:38,750 is that I got a B on a math test 165 00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:41,390 is that I got a B on a math test so something obviously happened between 166 00:04:41,390 --> 00:04:41,400 so something obviously happened between 167 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,340 so something obviously happened between here and here 168 00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:47,350 169 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:51,080 one of those things was puberty 170 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,090 one of those things was puberty 171 00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:54,750 one of those things was puberty beautiful time indeed but moreover I got 172 00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:54,760 beautiful time indeed but moreover I got 173 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,150 beautiful time indeed but moreover I got interested in building robots and I 174 00:04:57,150 --> 00:04:57,160 interested in building robots and I 175 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,130 interested in building robots and I wanted to teach myself about hardware 176 00:04:59,130 --> 00:04:59,140 wanted to teach myself about hardware 177 00:04:59,140 --> 00:05:01,200 wanted to teach myself about hardware but building things with hardware 178 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,210 but building things with hardware 179 00:05:01,210 --> 00:05:02,310 but building things with hardware especially if you're teaching yourself 180 00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:02,320 especially if you're teaching yourself 181 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,010 especially if you're teaching yourself is something that's really difficult to 182 00:05:05,010 --> 00:05:05,020 is something that's really difficult to 183 00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:07,380 is something that's really difficult to do it has a high likelihood of failure 184 00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:07,390 do it has a high likelihood of failure 185 00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:09,780 do it has a high likelihood of failure and moreover it has a high likelihood of 186 00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:09,790 and moreover it has a high likelihood of 187 00:05:09,790 --> 00:05:12,360 and moreover it has a high likelihood of making you feel stupid and that was my 188 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:12,370 making you feel stupid and that was my 189 00:05:12,370 --> 00:05:15,360 making you feel stupid and that was my biggest fear at the time so I came up 190 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:15,370 biggest fear at the time so I came up 191 00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:16,950 biggest fear at the time so I came up with a setup that would guarantee 192 00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:16,960 with a setup that would guarantee 193 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,090 with a setup that would guarantee success a hundred percent of the time 194 00:05:20,090 --> 00:05:20,100 success a hundred percent of the time 195 00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:22,500 success a hundred percent of the time with my setup it would be nearly 196 00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:22,510 with my setup it would be nearly 197 00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:25,110 with my setup it would be nearly impossible to fail and that was that 198 00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:25,120 impossible to fail and that was that 199 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,900 impossible to fail and that was that instead of trying to succeed I was going 200 00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:27,910 instead of trying to succeed I was going 201 00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:30,170 instead of trying to succeed I was going to try to build things that would fail 202 00:05:30,170 --> 00:05:30,180 to try to build things that would fail 203 00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:32,940 to try to build things that would fail and even though I didn't realize it at 204 00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:32,950 and even though I didn't realize it at 205 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:35,370 and even though I didn't realize it at the time building stupid things was 206 00:05:35,370 --> 00:05:35,380 the time building stupid things was 207 00:05:35,380 --> 00:05:38,880 the time building stupid things was actually quite smart because as I kept 208 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:38,890 actually quite smart because as I kept 209 00:05:38,890 --> 00:05:40,770 actually quite smart because as I kept on learning about hardware for the first 210 00:05:40,770 --> 00:05:40,780 on learning about hardware for the first 211 00:05:40,780 --> 00:05:42,480 on learning about hardware for the first time in my life I did not have to deal 212 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:42,490 time in my life I did not have to deal 213 00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:45,420 time in my life I did not have to deal with my performance anxiety and as soon 214 00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:45,430 with my performance anxiety and as soon 215 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:46,920 with my performance anxiety and as soon as I removed all pressure and 216 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:46,930 as I removed all pressure and 217 00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:49,110 as I removed all pressure and expectations for myself that pressure 218 00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:49,120 expectations for myself that pressure 219 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,870 expectations for myself that pressure quickly got replaced by enthusiasm and 220 00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:51,880 quickly got replaced by enthusiasm and 221 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,350 quickly got replaced by enthusiasm and it allowed me to just play so as an 222 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:55,360 it allowed me to just play so as an 223 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,030 it allowed me to just play so as an inventor I'm interested in things that 224 00:05:57,030 --> 00:05:57,040 inventor I'm interested in things that 225 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,040 inventor I'm interested in things that people struggle with it can be small 226 00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,050 people struggle with it can be small 227 00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:01,320 people struggle with it can be small things or big things or medium-size 228 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:01,330 things or big things or medium-size 229 00:06:01,330 --> 00:06:03,660 things or big things or medium-size things and something like giving a TED 230 00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:03,670 things and something like giving a TED 231 00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:06,000 things and something like giving a TED talk presents this whole new set of 232 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,010 talk presents this whole new set of 233 00:06:06,010 --> 00:06:08,000 talk presents this whole new set of problems that I can solve and 234 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,010 problems that I can solve and 235 00:06:08,010 --> 00:06:10,410 problems that I can solve and identifying a problem is the first step 236 00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:10,420 identifying a problem is the first step 237 00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:12,240 identifying a problem is the first step in my process of building a useless 238 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,250 in my process of building a useless 239 00:06:12,250 --> 00:06:15,540 in my process of building a useless machine so before I came here I sat down 240 00:06:15,540 --> 00:06:15,550 machine so before I came here I sat down 241 00:06:15,550 --> 00:06:17,340 machine so before I came here I sat down and I thought of some of the potential 242 00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:17,350 and I thought of some of the potential 243 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:19,320 and I thought of some of the potential problems I might have in giving this 244 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:19,330 problems I might have in giving this 245 00:06:19,330 --> 00:06:24,090 problems I might have in giving this talk forgetting what to say that people 246 00:06:24,090 --> 00:06:24,100 talk forgetting what to say that people 247 00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:28,080 talk forgetting what to say that people won't last that's you or even worse that 248 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:28,090 won't last that's you or even worse that 249 00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:31,650 won't last that's you or even worse that you'll laugh at the wrong things that 250 00:06:31,650 --> 00:06:31,660 you'll laugh at the wrong things that 251 00:06:31,660 --> 00:06:33,830 you'll laugh at the wrong things that was an okay part to laugh at thank you 252 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:33,840 was an okay part to laugh at thank you 253 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,660 was an okay part to laugh at thank you or that when I get nervous my hands 254 00:06:36,660 --> 00:06:36,670 or that when I get nervous my hands 255 00:06:36,670 --> 00:06:38,040 or that when I get nervous my hands start shaking and I'm really 256 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:38,050 start shaking and I'm really 257 00:06:38,050 --> 00:06:41,250 start shaking and I'm really self-conscious about it or that my fly 258 00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:41,260 self-conscious about it or that my fly 259 00:06:41,260 --> 00:06:43,290 self-conscious about it or that my fly has been open this entire time and all 260 00:06:43,290 --> 00:06:43,300 has been open this entire time and all 261 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,660 has been open this entire time and all of you noticed but I didn't but it's 262 00:06:45,660 --> 00:06:45,670 of you noticed but I didn't but it's 263 00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:48,360 of you noticed but I didn't but it's close so we're all good on that one but 264 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:48,370 close so we're all good on that one but 265 00:06:48,370 --> 00:06:49,770 close so we're all good on that one but one thing I'm actually really nervous 266 00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:49,780 one thing I'm actually really nervous 267 00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:52,290 one thing I'm actually really nervous about is my hands shaking I remember 268 00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:52,300 about is my hands shaking I remember 269 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:54,990 about is my hands shaking I remember when I was a kid giving presentations in 270 00:06:54,990 --> 00:06:55,000 when I was a kid giving presentations in 271 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,820 when I was a kid giving presentations in school I would have my notes on a piece 272 00:06:56,820 --> 00:06:56,830 school I would have my notes on a piece 273 00:06:56,830 --> 00:06:58,860 school I would have my notes on a piece of paper and I would put a notebook 274 00:06:58,860 --> 00:06:58,870 of paper and I would put a notebook 275 00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:00,990 of paper and I would put a notebook between behind the paper 276 00:07:00,990 --> 00:07:01,000 between behind the paper 277 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,550 between behind the paper so that people wouldn't be able to see 278 00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:02,560 so that people wouldn't be able to see 279 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,340 so that people wouldn't be able to see the paper core very and I give a lot of 280 00:07:05,340 --> 00:07:05,350 the paper core very and I give a lot of 281 00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:09,000 the paper core very and I give a lot of talks I know that about half of you in 282 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,010 talks I know that about half of you in 283 00:07:09,010 --> 00:07:11,430 talks I know that about half of you in the audience are probably like building 284 00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:11,440 the audience are probably like building 285 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,410 the audience are probably like building useless machines is really fun but how 286 00:07:13,410 --> 00:07:13,420 useless machines is really fun but how 287 00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:15,690 useless machines is really fun but how is in any way or form a business and 288 00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:15,700 is in any way or form a business and 289 00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,120 is in any way or form a business and giving talks is a part of it and the 290 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,130 giving talks is a part of it and the 291 00:07:18,130 --> 00:07:19,560 giving talks is a part of it and the arrangers always put out a glass of 292 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:19,570 arrangers always put out a glass of 293 00:07:19,570 --> 00:07:21,120 arrangers always put out a glass of water for you on stage so you have 294 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,130 water for you on stage so you have 295 00:07:21,130 --> 00:07:22,500 water for you on stage so you have something to drink if you get thirsty 296 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:22,510 something to drink if you get thirsty 297 00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:26,190 something to drink if you get thirsty and I always so badly want to drink that 298 00:07:26,190 --> 00:07:26,200 and I always so badly want to drink that 299 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,350 and I always so badly want to drink that water but I don't dare to pick the glass 300 00:07:28,350 --> 00:07:28,360 water but I don't dare to pick the glass 301 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,240 water but I don't dare to pick the glass up because then people might be able to 302 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:30,250 up because then people might be able to 303 00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:32,820 up because then people might be able to see that my hands are shaking so what 304 00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:32,830 see that my hands are shaking so what 305 00:07:32,830 --> 00:07:35,040 see that my hands are shaking so what about a machine that hands you a glass 306 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,050 about a machine that hands you a glass 307 00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:35,940 about a machine that hands you a glass of water 308 00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:35,950 of water 309 00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:38,340 of water sold to the nervous grow in the googly 310 00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:38,350 sold to the nervous grow in the googly 311 00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:40,860 sold to the nervous grow in the googly eye shirt actually I need to take this 312 00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:40,870 eye shirt actually I need to take this 313 00:07:40,870 --> 00:08:03,060 eye shirt actually I need to take this off because I have a thing 314 00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:03,070 315 00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:07,830 I still don't know what to call this but 316 00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:07,840 I still don't know what to call this but 317 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,830 I still don't know what to call this but I think some sort of like head orbit 318 00:08:10,830 --> 00:08:10,840 I think some sort of like head orbit 319 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,560 I think some sort of like head orbit device because it rotates this platform 320 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:13,570 device because it rotates this platform 321 00:08:13,570 --> 00:08:16,260 device because it rotates this platform around you and you can put anything on 322 00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:16,270 around you and you can put anything on 323 00:08:16,270 --> 00:08:18,090 around you and you can put anything on it you can have like a camera you can 324 00:08:18,090 --> 00:08:18,100 it you can have like a camera you can 325 00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:20,880 it you can have like a camera you can get photos of your entire head like is 326 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:20,890 get photos of your entire head like is 327 00:08:20,890 --> 00:08:25,370 get photos of your entire head like is really it's a very versatile machine 328 00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:25,380 really it's a very versatile machine 329 00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:28,920 really it's a very versatile machine okay and I have I mean you can put some 330 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:28,930 okay and I have I mean you can put some 331 00:08:28,930 --> 00:08:31,050 okay and I have I mean you can put some snacks on it for example if you want to 332 00:08:31,050 --> 00:08:31,060 snacks on it for example if you want to 333 00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:36,480 snacks on it for example if you want to have some popcorn here you just just put 334 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:36,490 have some popcorn here you just just put 335 00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:40,580 have some popcorn here you just just put a little bit like that and you want to 336 00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:40,590 a little bit like that and you want to 337 00:08:40,590 --> 00:08:43,560 a little bit like that and you want to there's some sacrifices for science to 338 00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:43,570 there's some sacrifices for science to 339 00:08:43,570 --> 00:08:45,750 there's some sacrifices for science to some some popcorn falling on the floor 340 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:45,760 some some popcorn falling on the floor 341 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,110 some some popcorn falling on the floor do the long way around and then you have 342 00:08:52,110 --> 00:08:52,120 do the long way around and then you have 343 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,700 do the long way around and then you have a little hand you need to adjust the 344 00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:53,710 a little hand you need to adjust the 345 00:08:53,710 --> 00:08:55,320 a little hand you need to adjust the height of it and you just do it by 346 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:55,330 height of it and you just do it by 347 00:08:55,330 --> 00:09:10,070 height of it and you just do it by shrugging as a little hand 348 00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:10,080 349 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,360 I just I just bumped my mic off but I 350 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:14,370 I just I just bumped my mic off but I 351 00:09:14,370 --> 00:09:16,600 I just I just bumped my mic off but I think I'm good 352 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:16,610 think I'm good 353 00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:19,850 think I'm good okay also I need to chew this popcorn so 354 00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:19,860 okay also I need to chew this popcorn so 355 00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:21,200 okay also I need to chew this popcorn so if you guys could just clap your hands a 356 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:21,210 if you guys could just clap your hands a 357 00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:27,560 if you guys could just clap your hands a little bit more okay so it's like your 358 00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:27,570 little bit more okay so it's like your 359 00:09:27,570 --> 00:09:29,930 little bit more okay so it's like your own little personal solar system because 360 00:09:29,930 --> 00:09:29,940 own little personal solar system because 361 00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:32,570 own little personal solar system because I'm a millennial so I want everything to 362 00:09:32,570 --> 00:09:32,580 I'm a millennial so I want everything to 363 00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:38,000 I'm a millennial so I want everything to evolve around me back to the glass of 364 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,010 evolve around me back to the glass of 365 00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:39,860 evolve around me back to the glass of water that's what we're here for so I 366 00:09:39,860 --> 00:09:39,870 water that's what we're here for so I 367 00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:42,290 water that's what we're here for so I promise I mean it still has it doesn't 368 00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:42,300 promise I mean it still has it doesn't 369 00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:45,350 promise I mean it still has it doesn't have any water in it I'm sorry but um 370 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:45,360 have any water in it I'm sorry but um 371 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,710 have any water in it I'm sorry but um it's still still need to work on this 372 00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:48,720 it's still still need to work on this 373 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,000 it's still still need to work on this machine a little bit because I still 374 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,010 machine a little bit because I still 375 00:09:50,010 --> 00:09:51,620 machine a little bit because I still need to pick up the glass and put it on 376 00:09:51,620 --> 00:09:51,630 need to pick up the glass and put it on 377 00:09:51,630 --> 00:09:53,420 need to pick up the glass and put it on the platform but if your hands are 378 00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:53,430 the platform but if your hands are 379 00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:54,530 the platform but if your hands are shaking a little bit 380 00:09:54,530 --> 00:09:54,540 shaking a little bit 381 00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:56,060 shaking a little bit nobody's gonna notice because you're 382 00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:56,070 nobody's gonna notice because you're 383 00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:57,980 nobody's gonna notice because you're wearing a very mesmerizing piece of 384 00:09:57,980 --> 00:09:57,990 wearing a very mesmerizing piece of 385 00:09:57,990 --> 00:10:05,230 wearing a very mesmerizing piece of equipment so it's we're all good okay Oh 386 00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:05,240 equipment so it's we're all good okay Oh 387 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,500 equipment so it's we're all good okay Oh No 388 00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:06,510 No 389 00:10:06,510 --> 00:10:09,590 No get stuck isn't it comforting that even 390 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:09,600 get stuck isn't it comforting that even 391 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,620 get stuck isn't it comforting that even robots sometimes get stage fright I just 392 00:10:12,620 --> 00:10:12,630 robots sometimes get stage fright I just 393 00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:16,550 robots sometimes get stage fright I just get stuck a little bit very human of 394 00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:16,560 get stuck a little bit very human of 395 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,970 get stuck a little bit very human of them oh wait let's go back a little bit 396 00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:19,980 them oh wait let's go back a little bit 397 00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:26,900 them oh wait let's go back a little bit and then isn't it a beautiful time to be 398 00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:26,910 and then isn't it a beautiful time to be 399 00:10:26,910 --> 00:10:35,980 and then isn't it a beautiful time to be alive 400 00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:35,990 401 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:38,990 so as much as my machines can seem like 402 00:10:38,990 --> 00:10:39,000 so as much as my machines can seem like 403 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,780 so as much as my machines can seem like simple engineering slapstick I realized 404 00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:41,790 simple engineering slapstick I realized 405 00:10:41,790 --> 00:10:43,760 simple engineering slapstick I realized that I stumbled on something bigger than 406 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:43,770 that I stumbled on something bigger than 407 00:10:43,770 --> 00:10:46,790 that I stumbled on something bigger than that it's this expression of joy and 408 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:46,800 that it's this expression of joy and 409 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,680 that it's this expression of joy and humility that often gets lost in 410 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:48,690 humility that often gets lost in 411 00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:50,990 humility that often gets lost in engineering and for me it was a way to 412 00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:51,000 engineering and for me it was a way to 413 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000 engineering and for me it was a way to learn about Hardware without having my 414 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,010 learn about Hardware without having my 415 00:10:53,010 --> 00:10:56,240 learn about Hardware without having my performance anxiety get in the way and I 416 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:56,250 performance anxiety get in the way and I 417 00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:57,829 performance anxiety get in the way and I often get asked if I think I'm ever 418 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:57,839 often get asked if I think I'm ever 419 00:10:57,839 --> 00:10:59,570 often get asked if I think I'm ever going to build something useful and 420 00:10:59,570 --> 00:10:59,580 going to build something useful and 421 00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:03,290 going to build something useful and maybe someday I will but the way I see 422 00:11:03,290 --> 00:11:03,300 maybe someday I will but the way I see 423 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,990 maybe someday I will but the way I see it I already have because I've built 424 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:06,000 it I already have because I've built 425 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,260 it I already have because I've built myself this job and it's something that 426 00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:09,270 myself this job and it's something that 427 00:11:09,270 --> 00:11:11,660 myself this job and it's something that I could never have planned for or that I 428 00:11:11,660 --> 00:11:11,670 I could never have planned for or that I 429 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:18,889 I could never have planned for or that I could haha it's something that I could 430 00:11:18,889 --> 00:11:18,899 could haha it's something that I could 431 00:11:18,899 --> 00:11:20,360 could haha it's something that I could never have planned for instead it 432 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:20,370 never have planned for instead it 433 00:11:20,370 --> 00:11:21,920 never have planned for instead it happened just because I was enthusiastic 434 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:21,930 happened just because I was enthusiastic 435 00:11:21,930 --> 00:11:24,410 happened just because I was enthusiastic about what I was doing and I was sharing 436 00:11:24,410 --> 00:11:24,420 about what I was doing and I was sharing 437 00:11:24,420 --> 00:11:26,990 about what I was doing and I was sharing that enthusiasm with other people to me 438 00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:27,000 that enthusiasm with other people to me 439 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240 that enthusiasm with other people to me there's the true beauty of making 440 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:29,250 there's the true beauty of making 441 00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:31,070 there's the true beauty of making useless things because it's this 442 00:11:31,070 --> 00:11:31,080 useless things because it's this 443 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,870 useless things because it's this acknowledgment that you don't always 444 00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:32,880 acknowledgment that you don't always 445 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,840 acknowledgment that you don't always know what the best answer is and it 446 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:35,850 know what the best answer is and it 447 00:11:35,850 --> 00:11:37,699 know what the best answer is and it turns off that voice in your head that 448 00:11:37,699 --> 00:11:37,709 turns off that voice in your head that 449 00:11:37,709 --> 00:11:40,010 turns off that voice in your head that tells you that you know exactly how the 450 00:11:40,010 --> 00:11:40,020 tells you that you know exactly how the 451 00:11:40,020 --> 00:11:41,930 tells you that you know exactly how the world works and maybe a toothbrush 452 00:11:41,930 --> 00:11:41,940 world works and maybe a toothbrush 453 00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:43,639 world works and maybe a toothbrush helmet isn't the answer but at least 454 00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:43,649 helmet isn't the answer but at least 455 00:11:43,649 --> 00:11:46,190 helmet isn't the answer but at least you're asking the question thank you 456 00:11:46,190 --> 00:11:46,200 you're asking the question thank you 457 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:57,519 you're asking the question thank you [Applause]
