Craig at Vienna Ice Cafe 7/2/2012
Passion Ask Craig what his current job is and he’ll tell you that it’s really hard to explain to people. Ask him to explain it and you’ll realize that it’s really hard to understand as well.

Buckeye70 at Cup O Joe 6/28/2012
Passion or Lack There Of When I first made a post online to try and get recruits for this project, Buckeye70′s reply struck me right away. He said that he wasn’t really passionate about anything. However, he did say that he DVRs CSPAN for fun and likes to listen to extremely knowledgable people talk about […]

Geoff Moss at North Star Cafe on 6/19/2012
Passion Ask any engineer what they love doing and I’d say you’re liable to get a response somewhere along the lines of “I like to know how things work”. In reality, the basis of engineering is figuring out how things work and designing new things based on that knowledge. Geoff is no different. From an […]
awxomecross514 at Kafe Kerouac 6/18/2012
Love at First Sip All it took was a sip. As the home brewed, hoppy goodness flowed down his throat, awxomecross514 was amazed at how fabulous it tasted. He looks at his dad and says, “Dad, we can do this.” That started it all. awxomecross514′s passion is home brewing and he’s been at it for about […]
An Update of My Personal Feelings thus Far
Thanks! First of all, I want to thank everyone that has participated in the project thus far.

I’ve honestly seen more […]
