Mythbusters, Grant, taught me that just dorking around and trying things is as much a part of engineering when it comes to smart people as it is for anyone else.

I always assumed they just "did the math" and knew what to do, but rather when just trying things like anyone else they can discover some surprises and solutions that they don't expect.

Kinda stopped me in my tracks a bit. Nice to see him and his contributions noted, as I'm going to guess that they were more significant than the task in the photo.

Due to Mythbusters I was really into engineering

Yeah, seeing his picture here was a bit bittersweet - it caught me unsurprised, and hit like a gut punch, but it's good to see he's remembered and his legacy lives on

I've been watching some Mythbusters again recently. It is always bittersweet to see hom on screen. He is much missed.
