I can't type and/or mouse for the kind of hours it takes to do development any more.. Too much RSI damage to my hands...
I had to choose between playing guitar/bass and farting with computers -- easy choice and (at least I hope it's) just in time. Thanks Zerox PARC/Steve Jobs... That doesn't mean I don't do things I enjoy. Sitting around clipping coupons is NOT in my future. It just means that developing computer systems is NOT... I can still build custom golf clubs. I can still play music. I can still produce, engineer and mix great recordings. I can still do radio... Lots of fun in my future especially after my move to a warmer clime in May -- Tucson, AZ -- AT LAST I can Thaw Out!!!
