Here are some quotes that I gathered because of their significant relation to the field of computing. Of course, there are many out there and the inclusion of all would be impossible. At this point in my career, these are just a few of the many that I can relate to. The first is one that I find fantastic and well thought out, written by one of the bright folks at MIT. It's a long one and was decided to be kept unedited due to its deep meaning. So here it is in full.

This summer has been particularly tough in regards to branching off and adding code to projects that were started in the past. In an effort to publish what I've been working on since the spring semester ended, here's a brief discussion on what's been happening. Care to share what you have been doing?

San Francisco is a great city. Sure, like any city it has its negatives but there's a great number of positives about the city too. Of course there's the weather, much nicer than New England. Transportation is much more accessible than a place like Boston(the streets are also wider to account for this system) and there's plenty of great things to do and see.

This year the cards are apparently in my favor- I'm heading to the JavaOne Conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco for May 4th-9th. It's my first time at a software development and/or computing conference so I'm quite excited. Some pretty notable speakers are going to be there talking about all the latest in the industry and where they believe the industry is going. Sure, I could probably read this stuff online- but I'm sure I don't have to tell you in-person experiences can make or break the topic. Besides, because I'm a student of an accredited university- I'm attending this year for free, so I really couldn't afford to pass this up.
The first day consists of a mini-conference called CommunityOne and starting on Tuesday is the official JavaOne conference. I've handpicked my schedule for the week and it's pretty full(try here if the former doesn't work). I hope to see a few attractions before the conference gets too busy, the Golden Gate bridge for example. If you don't understand the abbreviations and topics listed there on that schedule don't worry, I'm hoping to take copious notes and document my travel experience on here.

To me it's kind of funny... I'm in a tech position, contributing to and supporting three different development groups within Sun and during my excessively long tenure of 1.5 weeks I have learned more about how the company and its professionals operate more than I have learned about the hardware we work with. So that I don't mess up what I'm trying to say, I will give you a percentage of how I believe I have spent my recent time. The basic run down is like this:

This Monday, the ninth, I begin my new job at Sun Microsystems
working along lab engineers within the company's Storage Division. At
this point and regarding my new position, I am not exactly sure what is
appropriate to share with the public in a blog such as this. So, if I
read the technicals correctly and get approval as I imagine I would
need, I'll surely talk about what I will be doing. But until that time
comes I'll just remain close to null about the subject.
