This last weekend, I went down to my hometown, a rural place in southern Oregon, and had an opportunity to get my younger kids, Meagan and Elliot, to an art festival. There, they attended a class on spinning wool, learning from a spinning club founded by "veteran" craft folks in the area. It was great to sit and watch the older folks pass on their crafts to the younger folks. What surprised me, was how involved and enthusiastic my kids were in learning how to spin and creating yarn! They have bought yarn at stores, and know they can get yards and yards of it for cheap... but they loved that they were making it. And they were going at it for hours. I asked my youngest, Elliot, what he liked about spinning, and he said "just like making the yarn, lots of it!".
That desire to create is at the heart of why we do things. I think the desire to use tools and create is genetically coded in each of us. At Sun, I see the same thing. Folks just want to create things, be a part of making something, even if it is just a piece of the final product. They get really good at their work, and take pride when someone remarks on how well they do it. I think that's why we have so much problem buying off the shelf products, because we know we can build it, with our own tools, and do it the exact way we need to. The cool thing about this... it leads to innovation, and great use cases for Sun technology.
