Fatherhood²: Guest Post – Being a technodaddy has never been more fun
As an ‘IBMer’ my dad derived great pleasure from pitting his wits against complex techie challenges both at work and at home.
He could often be found in the garage with a soldering iron and circuit boards or with transistors, resistors and microchips spread out on the kitchen table. Mum loves telling me how even he built a device to listen to my heartbeat while I was in her tum. It didn’t quite look like this but it did the job apparently.
Now, 34 years after I was born and three years after he passed away following a long illness, I’m a dad.
