So you may not be a musician, but you're clearly a photographer. That's creativity, to be sure.

My bad. I got the books mixed up I guess. I thought that was your book - probably because I bought that one and The Career Programmer at the same time.

Apress sent me Hank's book back then and I loved the title. Career Programmer is mine, as is Unite the Tribes. Haven't settled on a name for the other new one yet.

Photography.
Writing.
Golf. (The creative part is coming up with reasons as to why I played so badly).

The few times I've played golf it was pretty much a break even game. I found as many balls as I lost.

I need to update the page but this gives you a good idea.

Fun stuff, man.

I guess I fall under "other strange creatures of the night." I do comedy, mostly improv. I got paid $5 once for a show.

That's not only creative, it makes you the bravest one in the herd.
I've stood on stage in biker bars where we would have paid good money for chicken wire, and that's still not as scary to me as doing stand up.

Hmmm...
Guitar. Designing electrical substations and power lines. Designing and building various useful wood and metal objects. Landscaping. Decorating pigeons with red-tipped darts. Creating decorative arrays of different sized holes in paper targets using assorted high powered paper punches at long and short ranges. Drawing pictures of things I will never have the time or money to build.

Eloquent, as always. And you must have gone to a helluva decorating school.

Hehehe... My decorating skills are all home grown, not acquired from any school other than the one with the hard knocks.

I shoot fireworks. I'm a licensed pyrotechnician and have recently moved into fireworks choreography. I've been licensed for 13 years and have worked on the Red, White, and Boom show in Columbus, OH for the last 11.
I'd say it is a blast but that would be a silly play on words.

If you are interested, you can see the simulation of a show I designed for a contest in May that was part of Pyrofest outside of Pittsburgh, PA. It had to be 8 to 10 minutes, our original work, and the budget under $10K. It was actually pretty challenging. http://www.finalefireworks.com/node/1219417[^]
I didn't win... came in 2nd... but still had a great time. It takes a lot of creativity to develop a soundtrack and then design the looks that you are going to put into the sky. I don't see it as much different than other creative outlets... just a lot more transient and probably louder. Still, it is a pretty big rush to work on a show and then hear 500K people cheer for your work when the last of the finale goes off.

That's incredibly cool, man. Although it makes sense, it never occurred to me that thee would be visualization software for pyrotechnics. I particularly liked the shift when California Girls hit, and the report punches on How You Like Me Now.
I'm in the process of putting together a new band with a computerized light show, and what you're doing is very much like designing lighting. Except yours goes bang.

Or neither,
I am guessing that these kind of "silly" and grave mob attacks are a sign of the rise of Anarchism [^]as a global "power".
It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.
However, they do!

The accident was tragic, but perhaps the stupidity of the response was more so.

Neither. Their aim was to stop the train and that Train looks stopped to me. I think the word to describe it is 'Success'.
