I've been programming, with a number of long sabbaticals, since my parents bought an Apple II+ at the outset of my senior year in high school. I got my first real job as a programmer a year after I got my BS in Mathematics. I presently work for Motorola.
My previous employers (those that aren't extinct):
Dan's always wondering about stuff. He was born and raised a Baha'i, and served as a youth leader, a security guard at the Baha'i World Centre, and a member of a dysfunctional LSA before finally giving up the Holy Ghost as it were. That was back in 1988.
Lately, Dan bounces between Zoroaster, Heraclitus, and Henry David Thoreau.
