formula1moments: #6 by f1fanatic I’m not usually one to go overboard about stuff, but this was a huge moment for me. I’m a massive fan of RBR and everything they’ve done, but also have tremendous respect for McLaren and my first season as a serious fan, cheered for Jenson Button on his championship run in 2009. I got laid off in April, and by June I was down at the Big Nerd Ranch taking an iOS Bootcamp class that was setting me on a new path to a better life. We would review something with the prof, then work on our own for a bit, about a half an hour or so each. I had live timing up on my iPad and the VPN engaged on my laptop, streaming the BBC coverage. I had the volume muted, but as I saw Jenson closing the gap as the lap counter counted down, I turned it up a little. When Seb’s back end broke loose and Jenson took the lead, I jumped out of my chair and shouted out loud. Everyone in the room turned to look, I gave them a sheepish grin, “Its F1,” I explained to blank looks, “car racing.” “Oh.” I went on to learn more than I have in the last several years put together, finish the class, come him and write Mediary, Magic Map, Busvetica, and I’m working on a rewrite of Telestrator.

I’m in my iOS class today, so I was settling with the live timing app for most of the race. But when it got close, I pulled up the BBC stream on the last lap. When Seb spun and Jenson got past and then took the flag, I kinda flipped out, started waving my arms around like a madman, even whacked myself in the forehead. The other dozen or so folks in the room probably all think I’m nuts, but I know I was cheering with millions of people around the world, so its all good.
