The Northstar Nerd is two months shy of his 56th birthday. How neat would it be in 40 years to be as cool as Uber Geek, Bill Sleeper? This guy is amazing! Here are a few excerpts from an interview conducted by Geek Wire:
“Can I give you a demo?” (asks Bill Sleeper)
It’s not unusual to hear those words inside the offices of a technology company, but this is the Merrill Gardens retirement community in Mill Creek, north of Seattle. The man with the cool gizmo is Bill Sleeper, 96, the resident technology guru. And the subject of his demo is a Laser Stage Lighting device on his kitchen counter. Sleeper hits the switch and soon the ceiling of apartment is filled with a sea of colorful dancing dots.
“At night, this blows you away!” he says.
Thus, the next times technology befuddles or confuses you, remember uber Geek. If you stop learning in your 20's, 30's ... 50's, etc, life will charge you by.
