Meet My 96 Year-Old Grandpa: The World's Oldest Geek

  • 12 years ago
http://go.tagjag.com/oldestgeek - Chris Pirillo's grandfather, Bus Lamberti (aka W0WSJ on the international circuit), may be one of the oldest geeks in the world. Want to know what the term "old school" really means? At 96 years of age, Bus operates a ham radio as he's done since 1941 -- decades before the Internet was even thought of -- interacting with people on every continent in the world (yep, even Antarctica)! In this video, Joe Pirillo (or, as Chris knows him, "Dad") has a chat with Bus about how he got started -- and never really stopped -- being a geek. We get to see what his ham studio looks like, and learn about the different parts that make it all come together. Also, we find out a little bit about what Chris and his brothers were like as kids. Has Chris always displayed geek tendencies? And how does a geek nearing his centennial keep sharp and healthy? Watch and find out!
