Hello, World !
Greetings everyone !
I'm so glad to finally be able to write over here, after weeks of weird registration issues 🙂
I'm a fairly young pin trader (my girlfriend started collecting in January and I think I really got into it in April) living close to Disneyland Paris. In less than a year it went from something I was almost thinking was useless to a full hobby 🙂 It's not just about these little things we collect, it's also about all these super kind people one can meet at the trading events and online 🙂 So what's more logical than to join this forum ? 🙂
I have a tiny personal collection, with a few Dug (from Up!) and Little Green Men/Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast pins, but I'm heavily involved in the collections my girlfriend does, which are Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, Frozen, Up! and the Lion King. I recently got my personal grail, the Christmas Presents Dug (which is currently my avatar) and I'm super happy about it :bigthumb:
In "real life" I'm a computer guy, I'm currently working towards a PhD thesis in Computer Vision (getting machines to understand all these images and videos we produce) and I *love* developing software/building websites and all that. I also have another very time consuming hobby which is 3D printing, but that's another story.
Hope we'll have nice discussions 🙂
