"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

"System Engineer" is my official title, but I mostly develop web-based and standalone applications and internal company software tools.

Previously "Unemployed", "Senior Software Developer", "Senior Software Designer" and "Software Engineer". The field has been a bit rough recently with Microsoft screwing over Nokia and laying off literally thousands of competent developers and engineers in my immediate area. Just happy I'm employed right now.

Aiming for "Inventor and CEO" title eventually, with the emphasis in that order.

Here is the most interesting way to describe my job:  I take the incomprehensible babble of government bureaucrats, lawyers, engineers, and scientists, while accounting for the concerns of the regulated community, and turn their most heart-felt desires for effective environmental regulation into understandable, legally defensible regulatory language that will enforce existing environmental laws while sparing the fine businesses establishments of Indiana with over-burdensome requirements. 

I also use the night hours to do unspeakable things in the fragrant, lonely alleys of my metropolitan area.  Really it's where my sign language club meets.

Without people like me, the world would spiral into environmental catastrophe, humans would start dying in droves, and civilization as we know it would collapse.  So pay your taxes and thank your bureaucrat.


Janitor/maintenance for a small school district full time, also manage networks for a few small businesses and do a bit of data recovery and pc/electronics repairs on the side.  In the summer I also install paver patios and retaining walls on the side.

Please tell me everything that I need to know about Chromecast.  Please.
