A GM for a dot-com I worked with went and became a CEO of a gaming company for a bit. He brought me in for some performance work, and it was neat because it was to make console games work on smartphones. The company went belly up, but it was sure interesting to see how the beginning happened.

At the time, I said no way to 3G and HSPA networks, and said with 4G you have a chance, but by that time it was too late. It was very cool as I could see console games in racks and made sure things were optimal. At the time, it was a side job.

Now with 5G, that can be a reality. At my horse farm in Texas, my ping time to servers for google's speed based tests is around 1ms ... youtube TV has 6ms, and given the eye doesn't detect less <500ms very well ... yeah the future is here now.

It is very cool to see some of your other sides, and while I don't game I can appreciate the gamers based on my skills in performance availability and capacity (PAC). My games are making shit work fast for people in mobile arenas.

Can't wait to see your reviews on your monitors!
