…or swag super drive for the cool kids 
The coolest wrist band for 12 hour shifts with two 15 minute breaks…especially if some dumb factory worker put the caps in backwards, changed the circuit printer page, or dos>edit 1 bit .bat at the 4 processor 80 million dollar test machine ;-p
student summer job
The Compaq factory was shutdown for the better — quality was #1 (now it’s a school)
We were a proud team with 0 recalls (although we came close by nobody’s fault but the mischievous board robotic circuit assembling machine that for unknown reasons would mistype the circuit even though all the right parts were all put on right…maybe it mistyped it’s own part list printed out by an automated computer using its output or maybe a big 3 HIT “ouch” TI*
an example of do-men.hater culture:
“YOU BETTER STICK YOUR LITTLE (100 pin mm soldering) HAND DOWN THERE AND PICK UP EVERY ONE OF THOSE GOLDFINGERS IN THE LEAD SOLDER MACHINE — YOU’RE THE ONE WHO WENT ON BREAK WHILE THEY PILED UP AND FELL OFF THE TRACK! THE ENTIRE TEAM IS -50 GOAL AND ARE TIRED GETTING BLAMED FOR ALL YOUR SINGLE AND DEPENDENT PROBLEMS”
POW! capacitor blows up (or a 110/220 switch standard for every 110 power supply gets switched backward for a box of boxes and you smell a burn in burn down until count off and count on) – 1 power supply +10 goldfingers safely recovered while down + might as well check for lead and other safety good habits so we can still be busy being down and not written up for doing nothing. (I only write down and sign up, and never write up and sign down and off (by -2). And doing nothing is never done by someone always busy and never finished even when thinking of more to do than typing again the type of a shared type of concept.
*which then required the loving engineers to enter {break} until return to the safety and correctness of the formal factory methods that crossed the line manager’s personal gains of their personnel projected figures to the goals of quality that require carefulness and safety guarded commands, measures, and functions for all operations and for each operator.
the forest from the trees — the real wood from the lake wood
Louetta Left when the real little Canterbury Forest with a secret entrance to a world of paths and tree houses ruled and owned by huffy bmx power with hidden caches of construction materials was finally posted and turned into more new fake lake woods ‘burgs of big bricks and little nature.
new life forms at the nexus of mobility
In our noetic age of infinite material we must not forget the older life plants that empower the more connected and behavior forming mobile life pods animating creativitity being or knowing imagination in the virtual reality of information.
In Austin aware of green hats, green boots, and green belts is always in style.
It makes us feel good even being inside having an outside looking pretty.
