No, it's like, look, it started with, not to take a big side road there, but for a few years, I was a consultant for a space industry. I have been on a conversation with Anousheh Ansari. With who? Anousheh Ansari. She's an Iranian astronaut, basically. And she was on the space station. We were on the phone while I'm on the tour bus.

My band is hanging from the chandeliers, throwing bananas at each other. And I started screaming at them like, guys, shut the fuck up. I have 14 minutes to be on this phone call because then it's out of range.

Okay, I designed her spacesuit and her mission patch and all that. So I was a designer originally that I was doing 3D movies and the story to compress the story. It started with scientists and engineers were looking for somebody who can make their visions into 3D animations so they can build certain things or get funding for certain things. So that's where it started.

Then a friend of mine who was working on a flying car, which eventually became a flying motorcycle, which flew in the Smithsonian Museum, came to me like, hey, can you help me engineer or at least do the representation, 3D movies of this? And I do have understanding on engineering, so I started to build this thing for them. And I'm like, okay, this is not going to work.

I can see this is not going to work. How about move this here, move that there? So I did some modification and that made it patentable. So I'm one of the inventors on the flying motorcycle. And we got the patent and it flew and all that. So that was the origin of this. And then eventually they kind of sucked me into that world because they needed somebody who has the design abilities.

I could do 3D animation and all that. I can design all kind of stuff. and the understanding of engineering. So I'm not going to do something crazy that's something unfeasible. So that's how I kind of got built in. And then I also did user interface design for various electronics and whatnot. It just means if you pick up your phone, if you think about how it works, it's already wrong.

I have to be able to guide you. I have to give you a user interface that is obvious. That's the magic, that you should not be thinking about how to use a VCR. It should be obvious. Right. To give you an example, you know, the arrows are pretty obvious, probably ancient times. If you, you know, draw an arrow, you kind of know, like, look that way or go that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
