Heather Harmon… or so my friend says anyway.
I’ve told this story before it’s funny so I’ll repeat it… It was the early 2000s and I heard a song on the radio where a man made a bunch of funny sounds with his voice and the only lyrics I remembered were “I’m the scat man”. I was interested to see what else he made…
I went on to kazza and search “scat man”, found a video I assumed was a music video and downloaded… Several hours later (56k modem)…

I am almost 40, and have been a VP of Engineering at multiple silicon valley based tech companies. Still I have an uncle who I’m quite sure doesn’t trust me to touch any of his computers because in the 90s I definitely bricked more than a few of his PCs by fucking around and finding out.
