Okay, so today I was messing around with this “hulman & company” thing, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a ride. I started off just poking around, trying to figure out what this company is all about. My first move was to check out some images, so I hit up Google Images. Pretty standard stuff, just typed in “Hulman & Company” and scrolled through a bunch of pictures. Nothing too crazy there.

Then, I got curious about some names that kept popping up, like Rose-Hulman and some sports stuff. I found this page talking about the Rose-Hulman Fightin’ Engineers. Sounds tough, right? I dug into their website, looking at their staff directory and something they called a varsity R club.
I’m not really a sports guy, but they had this whole schedule thing, and I saw a bunch of names like D. Busboom and C. O’Connell. There was this one play they were talking about – it was some baseball stuff: “D. Busboom grounded into double play 2b to 1b; C. O’Connell out on the play; C. Couillard advanced to third.” Sounds like a pretty intense game, but I still don’t know what it had to do with Hulman & Company. I tried to learn more about Rose-Hulman and their students’ starting salaries, which was cool to see.
After that, I started seeing these weird codes like “%2B” and “+”. I learned that %2B is actually just a code for the plus sign, which was news to me. Apparently, when you type in stuff on websites, it sometimes gets messed up and turned into codes. I guess most websites automatically change these codes back to normal, but sometimes it doesn’t work perfectly. That’s where some problems happen. It makes sense, I just didn’t realize how it all worked until now.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Searched “Hulman & Company” on Google Images.
- Found something about the Rose-Hulman Fightin’ Engineers.
- Looked at the Rose-Hulman website, their staff, and a varsity club thing.
- Read about some baseball play involving D. Busboom and C. O’Connell.
- Figured out that %2B is a code for +.
What I learned
Honestly, I’m still not 100% sure what Hulman & Company is all about. Seems like they’re connected to Rose-Hulman and maybe sports, but I didn’t really get the full picture. But I did learn a bit about how websites handle special characters like “+”, and that was pretty interesting. It’s like a little behind-the-scenes look at how the internet works. It was fun to do some exploring and learn a few things along the way. Next time, I might try to figure out what that baseball play was all about. It sounds like an exciting play and I’d like to learn more about it and maybe about baseball, too.
