electronics, dreams and god

have you ever had a life changing thing happen to you, that didn't involve marriage , life or death? no?

me either.

i believe in hard work and determination.

right now i am working for a big electronics company that i cannot name, for reasons that i cannot tell you. every day i see, play with and test electronics. and it dawned upon me that i dont REALLY know how all this stuff works! 

im not talking about the basic functions like using ios, or that radios use radio waves. im talking about what is the difference between watts and volts and amps? and if everyone cares about watts , then why do we ask people if they feel amped? they should feel watted. 

the truth is i already know allot of this stuff, but there is an old chasidic teaching  "yeridah tzorech aliyah" a decent for the purpose of an ascent. 

so im going to pretend that i know nothing about electronics and start from the bottom with basic circuits and fundamental concepts, and work my way up to the engineering level im yirtza hashem. (with khan academy, and OSW from MIT, its possible!) and i might learn some new things about what i thought was simple. i might also learn some more about G-D.

i will however learn things my way, the way that works for me. that means i have to have practical experiments and projects to prove and understand how these things work. and if there are concepts that have to be written out mathematically, g-d should give me the strength and knowledge to make some good animations.
