Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Part of a six man firm that develops gold farms and everything that goes along with it (and all the support software etc) for MMOGS (WOW, FFXI, EQ etc) in places like China and Romania. Been doing it almost 10 years now, good gig... work from home and get to travel a lot. Doesn't take a lot of my time anymore so I'm also going to school to finish my last semester of a BS which I quit on to get this business started up. Shooting for law school next year (eventually a J.S.D aka PhD in law ) or a financial econ PhD program after this.

My ultimate goal is to be an eccentric academic so everyone looks up to me and I can have my pick of the sophomore girls. Or, drop that **** all together and go to school to learn how to craft fine men's shoes by hand.

just graduated art school, graphic design major, photo minor. looking for a job overseas in the UK but not sure how long I will keep up that hunt.

Also really interested in start up my own record label for a side project.
I know probably the most 'hipster' kid response possible but oh well I like design and I like music thought I'd make money doing one or both.

Flight Attendant for an airlines which is the first to fly the A380.

Tiring to get trapped in a pressurised tin can for long hours. with the advent of bigger aircrafts with more passengers..it's becoming like contained farming; me walking down the aisle dropping food to my left and right as i go along with sqealing pigs trapped in their pens crying out with hunger. honestly the romance of airtravel is definately out unless you really have the money to pay for business or first class.

as for the rest of the plebians...........sigh..
