We-ell, I've always been ruled by *both* hemispheres of my brain. I write
left-handed, but throw right-handed. I love geekly topics like hardware and
software architectures, and am just as passionate about creating art.
I put myself through my last couple of years of University clambering on
scaffolds, working as a lighting technician, a job in which Ohm's law
becomes a very practical concern. I also acted in about 3 dozen plays.
In short, I feel happiest when I'm applying detailed techniques to bring
abstract aesthetics to life. Problem is, Canadian theatre, TV and film is
more or less moribund, and high tech work locally (Ottawa, Canada[*]) is not
very creatively demanding -- not, at least in the artistic sense.
[* The vast majority of work locally is driven by telecom/networking giants
like Nortel and Newbridge, and by the federal government. This ain't exactly
a haven for new media.]
