I did like Math. I just usually understood the lesson (in calc classes) in the first 10 minutes and the rest of the 40 minutes or so I was bored because he wouldn't give the assignment until the end of class. That was usually like doing 100 of the problems of the same type overnight and bringing them to class.

I was young, rebellious, and very much a programming nut. WWW hadn't hit yet. I was very active on the internet in college but it was all FTP, Archie, Telnet, and Gopher for the most part... and it was almost always a unix machine or a VAX VMS machine you were talking to... all command line and ASCII. :)

In my Stochastics class me and one friend did all of our work on Commodore Amiga 2000s... I actually did the entire class load of work for that in a week (like I said I liked it). Then the rest of the people all using x386s basically did what I had done. I had some mandelbrot set movies, and julia set movies, and some weird pseudo 3D attempts that didn't look awesome (3d modeling was still in its infancy).

So I'm old.... but I love this stuff. I saw bitcoin when it was $0.005/coin and thought "Gee that is a cool idea, but the government will probably squash it, plus $20 will buy my family a meal"

Of course I am kicking myself as I did recognize the potential. I just didn't take the risk.

No risk, no reward.

As to my blog... I'm kind of all over the place at the moment. I will likely make a regular gamedev blog as one of my pieces, as to the rest, I'm still trying to find what I might be good at talking about that people want to hear.

Thanks.
