Embedded Systems Conference is taking place April 26-29th and Dr. Kaku is their keynote speaker. I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Kaku and we talked about his geeky childhood, the likelihood of a Terminator-style robot uprising, and who is cooler: an engineer or a physicist. We had such a good time that [...]

Of course we go to parties. We’re party animals. You just don’t know that because we don’t go to YOUR parties.
Look, it’s been a good run and I’ve really enjoyed it, but I have to tell you the truth. A truth that will smash these videos to pieces: I’m in marketing.
I know I don’t. Just when I thought mainstream Hollywood was going to back Star Trek, the best sci-fi film to come out in a couple of years, they completely forget about it in the best picture category. Seriously? You added five new nomination spots for BP and you looked past the rebirth of one [...]
Look, we all have to deal with interruptions, especially when you’re as smart as me. If you ever feel the need to swing by and ask me a question, you might consider watching this video first.
I can’t even believe you’re asking me that! Yes, it takes a lot of work to become an engineer. Yes, you will not enjoy college like the rest of your roommates. Yes, you will end up making a lot more money than they will, so shut up and get back to studying.
I decided to dress up as the scariest creature imaginable…no, not Carl: marketing guy!
How many of my hard-earned dollars did you spend to find out that the average video gamer is 35, overweight and depressed? I could have told you that!

I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Kaku and we talked about his geeky childhood, the likelihood of a Terminator-style robot uprising, and who is cooler: an engineer or a physicist. We had such a good time that I had to break the interview down into two parts, so make sure to watch both.

Great interview, I found this very informing. But just one question: I’m pretty sure you don’t “dislike” marketers as much as you make it appear, but do you think that becoming the PR person for NI is sort-of moving into the marketing department?

Yes he does, but I think he was saying that the engineers are the ones that actually make the technology useful for the rest of the world. The profession that figures out if something is theoretically possible is the Mathematicians. The profession that figures out that what the Mathematician discovered is possible in the real world is the Physicist. And the Engineer is the one who actually makes it happen in the real world. We need all three (and many more) for the world to work the way it does/should.
