In between then and now, I shifted from electronics for software development, worked for a mad-scientist-type (no, I'm not kidding) developing stuff that no one would believe, and bummed around.

Now, they don't cut parts out of me anymore, obviously having gotten bored with that. Now they proscribe pills and draw blood. This is seemingly more amusing. Frankly, I don't get the thrill. Anyways, after working through cancer, I got married, and worked at any number of software development jobs, which at the time seemed tedious and absent all meaning. While in retrospect they still seemed tedious and absent any real meaning, I've been able to hone my skills such that the likes of Intermec and Microsoft has come sniffing around my door.
