An ironic fact
11 years ago
Let me explain something. I get sick of when people come around to my desk at work and try to tell me about the newest, latest, and greatest things. My degree is in computer science, but I honestly enough I could give two shits less about all the articles they bring me. I do not care about how close we are to nanotechnology or how beneficial eugenics through machines would be.
Now, let me explain why. My first degree is in art and that is still what drives me. I enjoy the whole process of software development from inception of ideas to actual release of the products, but beyond that that is where my interest stops. People think that just because I live in the IT department that I am automatically a technophile like the rest of the 40 and 50 something-year-old's there. I got this second degree both out of enjoyment and necessity. Its like choosing between pickled harring and cheesecake. I'll eat the feesh if I have to, but I'd rather be eating the cheesecake.
I did some coding for the web and my own personal use before I got my actual degree.it was fun, but the design process was even more of a thrill than the actual coding itself. I am mostly a solitary person with my :
canasnagase:, but I wish I could do more with art. I could crochet a bunch of works and have an art opening somewhere. Well, to be honest I am working on my card game right now, so that takes precedence.
I guess the moral of the story here is don't judge a book by its cover. I know it sounds like a moral that should be apparently obvious but in my example there's no real way to tell who enjoys what and what interests one might have.
