Web Programmer. Mostly UI (OO Javascript), but also do some PHP webservice stuff from time to time. It's mostly fun & pays the bills. Almost nothing I learned in school prepared me for this job though. You kinda just need to learn it on your own or have a mentor... Or both.

2yr degree in electronics on Oahu while managing a small pizza joint. Got a gig off the rock in OR as a "bunny-boy" for Intel. Worked day-shift lithography tooling for 4yrs before I got fed up with the weather and the craziness of working for a major corporation in a cleanroom.

Moved to sunny Socal in '04 to work for Los Angeles METRO as a light-rail tech for the Blue Line Division. I love this job. I work as the fill-in supervisor 2-days a week, and then as a tech the rest. I work with some majorly sharp individuals who are eager to teach and we do both electronic and mechanical work.. and the occasional damage repair lol. pays well and it's public service.

I go through life like I play Zelda.. just keep going until you find something worth keeping in your satchel.

..and I also do not own a BMW 2002.

Played n rock bands for years till it occurred to me I wasn't Prince and playing dive bars probably wasn't gonna make me rich. Then went back to school and now create online interactive programs, do video and audio editing, photography and do a lot of technical illustration.

Yes, there WAS skin on my knuckles before I started the repair...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
