When I was a kid I absolutely hated my name. In fact, if you knew my full name (I’m a Junior and it is a full “NASCAR name” indeed) you might easily understand why a hated it as well.
It wasn’t until in college when I realized that having a somewhat unique name was a good thing. It helped separate you from all the Tom, Dick, and Harry’s. Not that there’s anything wrong with those names!!
I have a little running joke with a couple Lester Martins I’ve connected with on LinkedIn of the years saying that we should have a dedicated Lester Martin group.

During a short DM interaction with one of them this morning, I decided today is the day. I finally created our little group. Please forward to ANY Lester Martin you might know. Oh, and since I don’t imagine you know any, please share in the comments section to if you do!

What’s the banner above trying to say? Here it is in its entirety. And YES, I’m actually considering changing l11n to L-3573-R.

This reminds me of the kind of stuff I’d see on an early video game like we had back in the 1980’s. The cool thing is that it is from a video game. A new one created this year, but one created as a Commodore 64 game. Of all things, it is called Lester and it was created by knifegrinder.
I still love my Lester Stickers and my Lester Skateboards the most, but this sure this tickled me pink this morning, or maybe… just maybe… it turned me into…
THE ANDROID L-3573-R THE FIRST OF A NEW GENERATION OF GUARDIAN DROIDS INDEPENDENT FROM A CENTRAL AI.
