It’s the HOLIDAYS!
“I planned out our whole day. First, we make snow angels for two hours, and then we’ll go ice skating, and then we’ll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookie Dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we’ll snuggle.”

On Being A Computer Physician
Oftentimes, the perception of the average IT professional is one of a nerdy guy with poor social graces; the type of person that doesn’t hold conversation well, and is rather banal in appearance and behavior. While this is certainly true with some IT professionals, it is worth stating that the IT field has a lot more diversity than some people give it credit for. There is a wide range of people, personalities, and social/cultural backgrounds that many everyday users don’t get the chance to see. A lot of this stereotype is due (in my humble opinion and experience) to the type of mentality that is required to carry out this line of work; a personality that is not unlike what one may experience while interacting with a human physician or surgeon.

But alas, the times are changing and this once critical piece of aural infrastructure will soon go the way of the phonograph, the 8-track, and those little tiny cassettes that only played 1 minute of a song.
