"A human with a skillet" -- oh, I'm guessing skillset is what you meant to say.

I was feeling old and thinking I was ignorant of some new slang there for a few seconds.

:-D

Well, there are youtube tutorials on how to solder SMD parts in in skillet, so you were not that far off ;-)

That's pretty funny, because doing some sort of electronic wizardry with a stove and a cast iron skillet is one of the other things that crossed my mind in that brief moment of confusion.

And it is totally something I could see Woz doing. :-D

'skillet' is some new slang, but it refers to your homeslice. This is just a typo.
