We'll Miss you, Grant

cstanton
cstanton over 5 years ago

Grant Imahara's very much an Engineer, Maker, and inspiration to many of us and like the majority of us. Even his personal workbench looked little different to what I've seen from many members of the Community.

 

Many will remember him by his involvement in Mythbusters, others for his escapades in a fan made Star Trek series.

 

His passing is a sad and sore time for many of us here at the element14 Community.

    He definitely did some cool work on Mythbusters. I'm not sure how I missed the White Rabbit Project , but may have to try to catch up on that.

    This affected me a lot more than I thought it would. It might be because he was only a year older than me! But I loved Mythbusters, and I thought he brought a real energy and enthusiasm to everything he…

    Recently a client of mine worked over the phone with Grant to help solve an issue that one of his customers was having.  Grant was really excited to help out and was very interested in the product (DMX controlled, Animatronic skull).  My client was looking to connect further with Grant and was producing a skull setup for him in exchange for a possible endorsement.  My client was so excited to tell about his experience working Grant.

     

    I was a huge fan of the Mythbusters (and Battlebots).  Once, when I working at a company in the San Francisco Bay Area (Dublin), we heard several unexpected loud explosions nearby.  It turn out to be during the filming of a Mythbusters show where they were testing the carnage potential of different types of cannonballs.  This was quite the story, as one of the cannonballs accidentally flow further than expected and hit a house (and a mini van and roadway).  Had we know at the time, I am sure that the whole work crew would have been up for a quick roadtrip to see the excitement.

     

    Grant will be missed.  As a background character on Mythbusters, he developed a huge following.  Hi engineering skill and dynamic personality made him an absolute joy to watch.
