Texas Instruments has a pretty entertaining series of videos up on their website, called “Thank an Engineer”. I realized long ago that the engineering gene has pervaded by entire being – I can’t go near something that is broken without wanting to fix it, or near any non-optimal hardware solution (squeaky door, slightly askew toilet seat, etc) without feeling the need to grab a screwdriver and go at it. So, thanks to TI, for honoring engineers everywhere!
