Hello people of iFixit! My name is Samuel Sternberg, but you can call me Sam.
I am currently attending the University of New Orleans, and I am studying Political Science with a concentration in Pre-Law.
I hope to one day attend law school and become a lawyer, or perhaps even run for public office. I have not thought much further than that, but what I do know is that I love the nature of politics and the rule of law.
I have always loved technology, tinkering with things, pretty much anything involving a screwdriver is likely something I find enjoyment in. Most of all, I enjoy building computers.
Attached on the left is a picture of my current rig (featuring a Mr. Bingle photobomb), which I have very creatively nicknamed "The Sam-Tron 4000" and have used almost every day since building it earlier this year.
I have built 5 computers as of writing this, 4 for myself and 1 for a friend, and I hope to always have opportunities to build computers in my free time. If my job could be just building computers all day, that would be just fine by me. I mainly use this computer to play video games and watch my favorite shows. I also enjoy drawing and writing, although these are difficult hobbies to keep up with, as I often suffer from a severe lack of creativity.
Attached on the right is a picture of me wearing one of my favorite hoodies, which has a cute picture of Hello Kitty on it. I have never let my gender determine what I enjoy, and I encourage everyone to express their true selves.
Those who know me personally will tell you, I am VERY passionate about what I like and feel compelled to introduce my interests to others. Some have told me I can be pushy regarding my interests, others have said they respect my openness regarding what I like, as my more specific interests are certainly not common among other adult males. I see no reason to lie or hide anything, and I hope that as a lawyer I can help us work towards a more fair and just society where people are accepted regardless of who or what they like.
I look forward to contributing to iFixits mission of reducing waste and increasing awareness regarding how to repair devices, and I hope that the skills I acquire in this project will help me in my future career.
