very slowly — (Laughter) —

and I was pretty sure I was going down

the wrong path at this point,

but I wasn't going to give up.

After 30 hours in the lab,

I figured out exactly what I was looking at,

and I was right, it wasn't what I was looking for.

I spent 30 hours piecing together

the ones and zeros that formed a picture of a kitten.

(Laughter)

I wasted 30 hours of my life searching for this kitten

that had nothing at all to do

with what I was trying to accomplish.

So I was frustrated, I was exhausted.

After 30 hours in the lab, I probably smelled horrible.

But instead of just going home

and calling it quits, I took a step back

and asked myself, what went wrong here?

How could I make such a stupid mistake?

I'm really pretty good at this.

I do this for a living.
