I love how much this place keeps giving me the chills. Right now I've got Raspberry Pi 3 plugged in up on the bathroom sink, mech keyboard n mouse connected, wires strewn about the entire floor, working on various complex strings of code I havent the slightest of mastery in, yet somehow slowly rolling my vision into a reality, simultaneously working my hand to the bone coding my website and trying to start a company alone, 27k $ invested into huge levels of equipment essentially rendering my PC Room into my private Audio/Visual Studio, cameras laying around, various creative/custom projects I've been working on...and every single person I've met doesn't speak my language. You guys know. The language of creators, explorers, people who KNOW what is coming and what IS going to be a profit, not because of a greedy obsession with misleading or selling the "next hot ticket item" or to put it bluntly...a cheap ass gaming peripheral with no love put into it. People like you guys, people I wish I could meet and get a chance to work with, people like me...and so many others on Massdrop, we know what the future has in store because we know what we like. We know what we love. We know how to customize, optimize. To move laterally right past the typical "annual update crap product" and right towards the idea that "if I love this idea, I know how to make it happen and I'm glowing because no one else has done it and I KNOW it's gonna grab attention...I've encountered the specter of fate." And guys...I'm only 25, but I've got two beautiful daughters an eclectic bit of hobbies that somehow led me to being apart of this community and actually PARTICIPATING in it, and give back, innovate, and stop counting on others in my small ass town of Rodeo,CA to have any idea what I mean when I say "this industry is going to explode and you needa check out this site called. Massdrop..." and in that moment I'm horrified because I realize that I promote Massdrop before I do my own business, which is Custom PC Builds/Gaming &Home Theater Immersion and I'll refrain from naming my own domain because really...I'm realizing how much I want to be apart of this...phenomenon. I live really close to San Francisco (like minutes away) and my pops used to help run a company called Technical Equities, he's really showed me the ropes in the business work and it's hysterical because he used to buy companies and it would save entire portions of the industry, he showed me so much of what it takes to run a business and how to acquire the right contacts and what a merger does to a companies name...and here I am basically saying I wouldn't flinch at an opportunity to integrate my life's work (the work that feeds my babies) with such a wonderful thing like Massdrop. It's what the world needs. A place where consumers don't feel like cattle. They feel like homies that love the same cool stuff you do and wouldn't mind at aaaallll if it came at a nice price point! Recently got back into touch with an associate of mine who has a very...interesting line on PC parts imported from our favorite parts of the world. He's the owner of the company who runs VPN for Wells Fargo, got his business card and he's about to give me a key to the pc parts fairyland, and...I don't want to keep what I have to myself. I'd really like to talk to you guys, and I'd really find it paramount that we maybe arrange a meeting with my associate. Wouldn't waste your guys time. I love this community. And boy would I love to earn that Massdrop T-Shirt instead of just buying it. Sorry for the unconventional approach but after reading how much Massdrop begeinnings had to do with good old fashioned forums? I had to! -Ken Hamblin (Happy 5th Annoversary brothas)
