What is that?
That's like 11, 12, something like that, maybe.
Yeah, and they took me to Fry's Electronics, which is the electronics store, picking out the motherboard and this kind of thing.
And that was a real breakthrough for me and a really exciting moment to have my own
but also to realize that like building a computer wasn't that hard.
I mean, I think so many times in our lives, you know, we are afraid of things that appear complicated or, you know, seem difficult.
And when you actually just have a chance to build it yourself or try creating it yourself, that illusion sort of disappears and you realize you're capable of so many things that maybe you didn't feel like you were able to do before.
I had a teacher at school who was the computer teacher, and I'd taken a course over the summer or something like that in building your own computer, and so he obviously very generously helped me out.
Do you feel like an outsider growing up?
I mean, in others, I was like the ultimate insider, right?
I grew up, I was really fortunate to grow up in a privileged family.
was able to attend an elite private school in Los Angeles.
And so in many of those ways, I think I was absolutely an insider.
I think in other ways, for example, not being allowed to watch TV, I was sometimes an outsider.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, I think, you know, I was a pretty nerdy kid, you know, I was spending a lot of time reading books and making stuff and not a lot of time watching TV.
And, you know, I was really, I remember in kindergarten, my parents helped me write a letter to the PE teacher because I was too afraid to do PE because there were too many people running around and balls flying around.
I was like terrified.
I'm like, so, you know, I literally sat down with my parents, wrote a letter to the PE teachers and said, like, I'm just like, I'm not ready for PE.
Like I'll play when I'm ready, you know?
