   I thought the last section was pretty funny: "Acknowledgments Though several of the ideas presented here are unique to TRIBES, others have been assimilated from other sources over countless years of reading and the authors, being too l

   Slightly off topic, but still related to Tribes...I remember purchasing Starsiege back during this time (if I remember correctly it and the original Tribes were released around the same time, along with Half-Life). I never played the origin

   I remember reading an old Reader's Digest Medical Compendium type book in high school that I had found at a thrift store and they had this story in there. If I can find the book I'll share how they wrote it in there (but he was se

   I'm a little confused by your careers page (mainly since you mentioned PHP specifically, which seems like it would be tied to the Lead Software Developer role) but there's also a Rails Engineer position mentioned so I'm curi

   Continuing to read these articles about water shortages, particularly in the Central Valley, definitely makes me feel fortunate that the water supply for Imperial County (we're located in the bottom right of California) comes directly

   I'd definitely upvote this one as being a prime reason. And it's not like the jobs we're talking about here are completely "dead-end" (I wouldn't call a well-paying job a dead end and I definitely have one of t

   Thanks for sharing! Pretty interesting read :-). I actually came across An Wang's book entitled "Lessons" earlier this year when I was checking out a small bookstore in San Diego. It's a pretty neat piece of history and

    Here's a link to Professor Harvey's papers page (the link is a little hard to notice on his main page): http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/papers.html (it has a couple of neat Logo essays in there)

    I think they moved off of the older Realplayer-based sites and onto Youtube...they pretty much have every version of CS61A online from the past few years...here's a playlist of one of the last ones taught by Professor Harvey: https:&#

    This brings back fond memories of my 1 year at UC Berkeley back in 2005-2006 and getting my start learning about Computer Science fundamentals with Professor Harvey and CS61A. Afterwards I always told myself I'd jump in at some point a

    Small world indeed :-). It'd be interesting to find out how many of us have left the Valley and ended up in the tech industry somewhere and create a little network that could support each other ;-). I went off to eBay for a short while

    I thought it was really nice (but still surprising) to see this article appear on HN today, because I think the San Diego region doesn't get nearly as much attention as the Bay Area, though it has a lot of the same benefits (in terms o

    Job hopping worked for me, the only time I've done so. Back in 2011, a friend of mine offered an opportunity to switch from where I was working (a small community college in Southern California) to eBay in San Jose. The jump in pay was
