Sure....I'll play.

I will probably start working on my Master's in January, but for right now I just work. I'm an engineer doing New Product Development for a Major Northwest Aerospace company. I also do the Navy Reserve thing.

I like to play golf when I can, but only play about 3x per year anymore. The Blazers have become my hobby...driving 3 hrs each way 15 or so times per year means I should be invested.

As far as video games go...I've never played a basketball game until 2K9 came out. When I've played in the past, it's usually GM Mode in Madden football.
 
Work, writing the Great Armenian Novel (I figure they have a less crowded market).
 
Work, family, gym...

my wife and kids are out of town for a week, so I have time o'plenty here right now.
 
I'm a poker play on the professional circuit. Well...facebook!

Actually, I'm a criminal defense attorney from San Diego.

I work just enough to get by and spend the rest of my time making music, painting, writing, reading, learning, meeting new people, exploring the city, searching for wild edible mushrooms, and doing general human-being activities. Work most definately does not occupy the highest part of my life, nor thoughts. It is, however, a necissary activity in order to enjoy the things that actually mean something to me.

PR, marathons, watching english soccer and NBA basketball, planning for grad school, planning a big trip.

Student at George Fox majoring in Athletic Training, so I spend a lot of time both studying for classes and working in the training room. Also play soccer, so spend pretty much the rest of my time with that.

George fox you say? You wouldn't happen to know a gretchen or a heidi who also go there, would you?
 
Work, hang out with friends (generally movies, sports bars or dinner, depending on the friend) and listen to music. Lots of music.

I used to read a lot, but now I just don't get into books like I used to.
 
I taste test scotch and whiskey from local liquor stores to make sure none of the bottles are contaminated ... so far so good.

Hey, that's cool. One of my uncles was a drunk, too.

The trick is, apparently, to go completely limp when the police show up. Most police officers are loathe to beat up someone who isn't even resisting gravity. Of course, those few officers who will...well, that's what universal health care is for.
 
I build computers. I am a build instructor at Free Geek. We take donated computers, evaluate them, take them apart, recycle the parts not good enough to use or sell in our thrift store and use the good parts to rebuild the computers. The computers are then divided into three groups, the lowest group gets sold in our store, the next group up is given to other nonprofits (Free Geek is also a nonprofit), and the highest group, called the "Freekbox", short for Free Geek, goes to our "Freeks", also known as our volunteers, who earrn a computer (there are two ways to earn a computer, do 24 hours of work in recieving, recycling, printerland, or testing keyboads, mice, speakers and/or TVs, or learn how to build computers, if you build five computers, the sixth you build is yours if you want). Free Geek takes just about any electronic donations (the one that don't have anything to do with computers get sold in the store) but monitors have so many toxic materials and there are so few places that can take them and enough fees involved in getting them recycled that we charge $7 to take them, anything else we will take for free, although, we won't refuse a donation. If you want more information about Free Geek, you can view the links to the Free Geek locations in Portland and elsewhere in my sig. If you want to donate a computer or just visit with me, and maybe get me to give you a tour, Free Geek is about two or three blocks south of SE Hawthorne on 10th, there is a big red sign painted in the window, you can't miss it, They are open Tuesday-Saturday from 11-7 (I am there on the every they are open from about 1:30-7:00).

When I'm not posting about the Blazers or at Free Geek, there is a good chance that I'm playing chess under my first name, Blaine, on the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS).

Be careful with that...they'll just call you an expensive taxi known as an ambulance. I found that out the hard way when I woke in the hospital on my 21st birthday.

I was suffering from "alcohol intoxication".
 
Graduated last month with an Honors Business degree from Oregon State. Currently unemployed. So lots of job applications, working out, learning Spanish and trying to catch up on my reading (currently Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma).

It'd help if I knew what I really wanted to do. Regardless, my degree concentrations were in MIS, Management and a minor in Communications. If you know of anything interesting, hook a brother up.

You should promote that at Universities. In the past I've known several students who didn't know what to do with their old machines. Also, the university tends to get rid of a lot of computers at wholesale auctions. Maybe they can just donate it to you instead (or if it doesn't sell the first time around).

Cheers.

If you know of ways to let people at Universities know about us and what we do, I would love to hear them. By the way, I don't know that I mentioned it in the other post, and it might not be extra incentive for Universities, but we do give receipts that can be used for tax write offs, since we are a nonprofit, by people who are interested in that sort of thing.

As in Bail? And you're Max as in Frischberg, right?

If so, hows your brother?


Oh, as for me, when I'm not on this site, my life is possessed by grad school. When I'm not entirely overrun with schoolwork, I'm probably reading (Dark Tower series at the moment), working (shitty desk jobs at PSU) or making some sort of art (digital photography and Flash 5 being my two favorite mediums.) Oh, and playing basketball whenever I can.
