I'm Adam Washington. I was a couple of years behind you, but we bumped into each other socially a few times over the years. As a refresher, I was also the sophomore with the glasses in Shadiow's class that accidentally kicked over the trash can while trying to explain how graphs work.

Back in high school, I thought you were the brightest and chillest guy on the planet. My first Linux install was because I overheard you talking about it in class and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Anyway, it's been a treat seeing you pop up again after all these years and discovering that my nostalgia lenses were right - you really are that smart and cool.



You are very kind Adam. This just made my day. Drop me an email -- would love to catch up.

Edit: I shared this story with three guys my year who were also in that class. You'll be happy to know:

1. They all remember you.

2. No one remembers the trash can.
