I always think of Wanye and MD Holoway as two peas from the same pod...one UMA and the other MIT...one MS Chem and the other MS engineering...i think...

Both have the quantitative analysis thing going...

Of which I am very familiar with as my Dad had 5 years at Detroit's AP HS Cass Tech and a BS Chem 41 with 10 years as a Tool and Die maker at Packard...35 to 45. Figure in degree inflation...anyway I digress..the point being is that I understand the mindset and am myself very heavily analytical because that was the way I was brought up to think..you learn how to process life from your parents.

However math and science never really interested me...to rote and boring...History fascinates as it is a complex matrix of the ever shifting sands of human events. Layer upon layer like the sediment at the bottom of the ocean. Which results in a COLLECTIVE MEMORY. Now in this there is a nexus between subjective human thoughts and actions and the science of the brain...as all of that information is stored in a living breathing organism.

Tabby, did you lose your way?. Though Computer Science was my thing, I also did the Quantitative Analysis thing....but I'm no Head Bird, and am a Master of nothing these daze....not even my own domain

I took a Basic computer programming course back in the day...one of the questions on the final was to diagram a computer program...

What I diagrammed was a Program about why I didn't have to FINISH the Final Exam to get an A in the class...When the Prof read my diagrammed Program he didn't even finish grading my exam but gave me a B+ on it, and I got an A in the class also I had the highest number of points in the class.

I come from an era where Punch Cards were used to program computers...

I started on punch cards, and even though that stuff came easy for me, I knew damn well that I wasn't gonna program for a living.....boring . Hit the job market in terrible times, but landed in IBM's Advanced Communicatuons Products Division at Research Triangle in r&d....I had found my niche. Had no idea where it would lead, but it served me very well in the corporate world...I did my own thing, held the keys to the kingdoms, and had a freakin' ball along the way .

Dads Godson was part of the IBM team that installed the first computer automated auto production line in the world at Chrysler in 62. He lectured the Japanese in Tokyo on how they could install similar production lines and then transfered to Europe where he was part of the IBM team that installed a similar production line in the USSR circa 1970. In the early 2000's he developed a car theft system in the UK similar to LoJack (or Northstar) except you could kill the electrical system on the car. It was picked up by Range Rover and Aston Martin...Another application was the ability to monitor a cars road usage so that a toll for that usage could be collected. I invested a small amount into his co and never got a dime back...ehhh

Had to quote this, before you change it, and then delete it altogether

All your keystrokes are belong to us...
