Let's go back to this, you know you're an engineer if... font choice matters.

I'm all of a sudden, I'm like a jerk service, yes, font choice matters.

Font choice and I'll prove to you why font choice. The font you choose makes a difference to the message you're sending.

This is the Declaration of Independence. I actually saw it in Philadelphia. I did a show at the Independence Center.

Look what happens if you just change the font to curls, not nearly as good.

We would not have our country if they typed it in curls.

And I got on this kick because my sister found a poem that I wrote my wife when we were dating.

But I'd end it with a heartfelt note, but I wouldn't change the font, and my sister is like, "You could've changed the font right at the end."

In Tahoma, my font, "You will always be mine," and I left it in that font.

She goes, just change the font. You know, a little romantic, just if you change it to the Miss You font.

Look, same words, you will always be mine.

Same words, the only thing I changed was the font.

Now, you change it to something strange font, you will always be mine.

Same words, different font, font choice matters.

I made this one especially for you, Grant, you'll see why in a second.

Oh, people always ask engineers questions and and I want to be accurate when I ask them, when I answer them.

One of the questions I get all the time is, "Where you from?" "Where you from?" "Where you from?"

What do you mean? Where did I grow up? where do I live now?

Where am I from, well, technically I'm from here, now I'm from here.

So what how do I answer this answer this correctly every time.

So I figured it out, I had time, I had like two weeks to kill, so I figured this out.

I grew up, the first 25 years of my life, I grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, just across from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

And it was cool, I liked being in that area, but then I moved to Silicon Valley.

I worked in Silicon Valley, I worked there for 12 years in San Jose, California.

So after 37 years of my life, mathematically, I was from somewhere in Indiana.

I am so glad I didn't have to explain that joke to you guys.

Some crowds don't understand, you know, time topographical analysis.

Then I moved to Southern California. I've been in Southern California over here, I've been there 25 years.

So as of today, I figured it out, if you figure it out, I'm going to zoom in, I'm from Utah, right there, look at this, I am actually from Provo.

I'm in Provo, and next week I'll be in Eagle Springs, I believe.
