Well, to follow that video up, you have to watch this one:

At the age of 10, I opened up the back of the family's first TV set, cut the speaker wire, and ran a pair of wires from the ends outside the TV set to a toggle switch I mounted in a Band-Aid box just to mute the commercials. You could say I invented the Mute button! :lol: In its final form, before all TV sets had a true remote control, I used a foot switch that plugged into a jack mounted on the front of the set by the speaker. That way, if the switch was pulled out, the set still worked. It did make for some humorous scrambles as people tried to get their foot on the switch as fast as possible...

Yep, in the early-60's we had a Zenith TV (remember them when they were high quality sets made in USA?) that had a single push-button on the front to change VHF channels. It activated a motor that rotated the channel mechanism inside the wooden cabinet (remember when cabinets were real oak, maple or walnut and you needed two people to move it?) The motor only jumped forward one channel at a time but there were only 13 VHF channels so you could quickly cycle around to the beginning again. (UHF channels were a manual radio type dial and we didn't get any UHF reception anyway). Point being, that I scrambled my little 14 year old body around inside the cabinet and found points on the channel motor that I soldered a long lamp cord and a push button to so that I could lay on the couch and change channels. Fought with brother and father to get the couch each evening. Mom just sat in her rocker and knitted, shaking her head at the nonsense on TV.
Though convenient, it was hardly worth it. We only received three channels, for which the reception of each (in declining order) was great, poor, and barely watchable.
...kind of more a "free form" RPG. I am in an RPG group which does something similar to that. More "Role" than "Roll" playing.

...same.
I was an Embedded Software Engineer, but I managed to break out.
I'm a professional book cover artist, designer, and illustrator. I started out in traditional mediums, but fell in love with Daz a few years ago. Almost totally digital, now.

Cool beans, I haven't played in a few years, we did a 'flawed characters' run (mine was a hydrophobic wannabe pirate), was a total blast. What system are you playing, KK?
This really is fascinating. Many IT and engineering disciplines, former scientists, graphic arts / 3D professionals, and some aspiring authors on the forums so far. I also get the sense that many of the forum personalities are retired as well.
My day job is a Documentation Specialist (Technical Writer and Editor) and Business Analyst in the IT field. I have many, many years before I can retire. :)
I'm disabled now do to a car accident and now do this for a living. I was a welder at a factory and a police officer at one place and Chief of Police at another. I also have a background in drafting

...right now a home grown one created by one of the members of the group I'm involved with.
The current campaign is a fairly eccentric one where my character went from being the daughter of her local town's candle maker to becoming the mob boss of the big city. Kind of a "Medievalworld" (Westworld) meets the Untouchables. Actually we learned the entire planet was basically a giant theme park for an interstellar society which was abandoned after the area of space it is in was quarantined due to some sort of plague that swept though long ago. Unknown to the creators it just kept going on "autopilot" so to say, and the surviving generations of humans and other beings, (including androids which made up the bulk of the population) continued on living the "programmed" lifestyle of their theme "lands".
...hoping to retire here, so I can just write and create pretty (as well as silly) pictures, but have another year before SSI will kick in.
Most interesting D&D character I ever played was a half elven dwarfling. No one liked her.
Another software developer reporting in. I'm doing Java back-end and front-end web work in the narrow field of pharmaceutical logistics systems.
Strictly 3D hobbyist trying to keep away from paid jobs (having a day job already), but occasionally I've accepted the odd illustration commission. In the field of 3D I'm pretty much only interested in illustrative/concept art -type role-playing game illustrations.
I'd like to hear her backstory =D

I'm starting a tabletop RP thread!
