So they dump a couple of smart rocks down there that have to live for years and years. So battery is a big issue. And it's not like I can go down there and push buttons and say, update the firmware.

Smart rocks.

Smart rocks.

And then when something happens, when there's an event that causes a mudslide or some weird currents happen, it monitors and it reports back to the little vehicle that wanders around the bay and picks up all the data from all the sensors. So, I mean, those aren't entirely my projects. Those are working with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, which is awesome.

And they do lots of science and ocean-based technology. Let's see. What else?

Well, I worked on a gunshot location system where you sprinkle sensors, microphones, around the city and automatically call the police when there's a gunshot. Oh, that's cool. That was really cool technology and had some amazing applications. I'm kind of glad I left.

I mean, there's the whole, I mean, I am comfortable with the level of privacy associated with it, but I am less comfortable with how the company started being run. Children's toys, that was fun. I got to take some of my toys to a kindergarten, just volunteering. And one of them that I hated, it was a karaoke. And it was the most annoying toy. It would just sing constantly.

And there was a voice changer that did not make anybody sound better. And I thought it was a dumb toy. I was way more interested in this other toy that helped kids learn to write. And I would take the toy to the kindergarten and kids would play with them and I'd watch and it was fun. And then one of the boys who was kind of behind asked if he could take the karaoke home.

And I was like, good riddance. And a week later, he had caught up to his class. He had been really behind. But because singing was the way that worked for him, it totally blew my mind that Something so different than what I could have stood worked. I've worked on DNA scanners twice now, actually. Once pre-1995, 98. Well, anyway, once when DNA scanners were really cool and very hard.

And more recently when you can just make them on your desk. That progress has been just phenomenal and amazing ever. What else have I worked on? I worked on inertial measurement units, which used to be the way, when I worked on them, that I would make anybody I was sitting next to in a plane just stop talking to me. Oh, yeah, I work on inertial measurement units.

I could have said, home insurance, are you interested? No, no, no. Inertial measurement units was so good. People were asleep by the end of the words. But I didn't tell them what I was doing on this airplane. I was going to a racetrack so that we could test them on high-speed vehicles. or airplanes, or any of the other places where inertial sensing becomes really interesting.
