What do you all think?

I think the language in the video is fine.

Of the video itself, and of the thoughts expressed by the subject, I think he's freakin awesome. I want that experience, I have those feelings. I am sometimes...compelled to make something. I've joked in the past about how it's just my inner skinflint, or that I fancied myself better (or a better maker), or whatever. Sometimes those things have been true, I guess. But, the urge to make it, to understand something well enough to produce it myself is *strong*, very strong.

I showed this video to my girlfriend. She said it did sound like me. Then she surprised me with this statement: "I think you should have a shop like that". Wow! I should for sure, that would be made of awesome. One of these days, honey, one of these days.

Brilliant video, thanks Perry!
