Hello Again

Another agent in causing me to return to my love of building things is my work, Wolfram Manufacturing. This past summer I became an intern for them, and decided to come in part time during the school year. I am really happy to say that I love it!

It's a small custom precision machining shop, and by that I mean when we make stuff, it usually has to be exact to 0.005 of an inch or less - about the size of a human hair. The majority of the parts are used in the Oil and Gas industry. I did say machining, but I feel as if you may have gotten the wrong idea of it. Everything is made by "really fancy, high-tech" (and really expensive) CNC machines.

Although it can be really taxing, it's a great work environment. All the people there are genuine and nice. Two of the engineers recently got me started in Arduino (very similar to Raspberry Pi, but not in Linux). We joke about being nerds, and in reality probably are (one of them went to MIT, the other went to Colorado School of Mines).
