Jul 29, 2009 What I did on my summer vacationOk, my real vacation hasn’t happened yet. In a few weeks, I’ll go traipsing around Glacier National Park and explore all that Montana has to offer. But for the last month or so, I’ve been teaching an electrical engineering class for high school girls as part of the Women’s Technology Program. It was great fun. Popular consensus was that learning to solder was the best part of the class. Man, if you want girls to feel empowered, just give them a hot iron and tell them to go melt metal. It works really well. What did we solder? Jewelry. We’re girls. (Well, we also soldered some heart-shaped circuits… because we’re girls who like things that light up. See here.) I didn’t want to be left out of the fun, so I made some jewelry too. I thought about where I would wear jewelry made of wire and resistors. I’m going to be in a wedding in August, so first I thought I would make blue earrings to match the bridesmaid dress that I’ll be wearing. Then I thought that the bride wouldn’t really appreciate that. So I thought some more. And finally made these.
Where will I wear such hideous, tacky earrings? My 5th reunion is coming up next spring. I’ll fit right in with this guy.

What were the resistors rated at?
Is it bad that I was thinking it would be cool to use a small, light weight battery and an LED bulb in the earrings?
Posted by: nakoruru on August 5th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I’m actually not sure what they’re rated at. They don’t all match, but there are probably a lot of 3s and 0s involved.
I’ve had a bunch of people suggest that we should have included a battery. I draw the line at jewelry that lights up… though perhaps it would work for Reunions.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R amp&; D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R & D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.

Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
