Is that the Colin I think it is?In relation to this conversation, my work history has been more important than my education. But my education was also the start of my work history.I would guess if you wanted to teach a Masters would help. Brandt brings up a good point that over education...

backstagejobs.com has internship sections.

Every time I go to help with focus at the HS and there is only 2 or 3 of us and I wish we had a RFU I start thinking, why has no one reverse engineered this yet, dropped it into an arduino based box and gave it an IP address?Then I google around, and see there is nothing really out there and...

I used bed sheets (kings size) with my 1989 Sony CRT freebee projector back in High School.Speaking of which that thing is still up in storage. Anyone want it?

The g5 I use for qlab was a free throw away from a college.The g4 in the closet is the same thing. Old macs have a habit of living on longer than they are useful, but qlab does just fine with the old hardware.

I had the building drawings out looking for circuits up on that end going, "where is the power?!?". It's just not there.

I always like sharing this story.I'll make it short. I was acting/singing in middle/high school. When I was 15 or 16 I got kicked out of the HS performance of Mame or something due missing a before school rehearsal for whatever reason. The director made "an example of me". So I asked the...
