Out of the blue one day, a video game developer calls him up and offers him a job based on some stuff he'd done in college (8 years ago at that point). He did that for almost two years, when Nvidia called him up and offered him a job.

Even if you don't get this job, hopefully it will motivate you to keep looking. I'd really hate to see you devolve into a career bureaucrat. Industry needs people who can innovate.
Thanks, that's very flattering but likely more credit than I deserve. I've been very lucky to have great friends and an amazing/understanding/supportive wife. I do feel completely wasted in this gov role though as there is almost zero motivation to improve anything, it's almost discouraged....that messes with a guy.
