I started working back in high school, ~1988, in the technical support division of a small company. Since then, I've worked continuously except for 12 months; my first year of college. To get the official rundown of my professional life, look at my resumé.
Every year, just before All Hallow's Eve, I used to be part of a group that put on a production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I usually worked tech crew. In 1995, the group got really ambitious and formed a campus club. To this day, they have successfully be running 1-2 shows every quarter at Cal Poly, SLO, with a full-time regular cast. The club and Cast is called 'Zen Room' and you can look at their Home Page for more information about shows and stuff
For about 2 years, I attended Yoga at the Cal Poly Rec Center. Our teacher is Shoosh. Yes, that's right, Shoosh. I even digitized her. Yoga is offered every quarter (including summer) starting the second week of classes. It has traditionally and will probably continue to be TR 6-7:30pm. Check with the Rec Center to confirm this. Shoosh always welcomes newcomers, and the classes are always easy enough for anyone to attend. Naturally, attendance is limited to students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Cost per quarter for the class is $40, a STEAL, considering other places charge at least $10 per session!
Since I have left Cal Poly, I have found a new yoga center in Palo Alto: The California Yoga Center. Currently we're taking classes from Ruth Owen, but have also had substitutions from Julia Roberts. Current prices are $12 for an entire series, but many teachers will prorate the cost if you drop in a middle of a series, rather than having to pay one-time fees until the next cycle.
If you are just starting yoga, I would not worry about starting in the "middle" of a series, since to me they all seem the same difficulty level. There doesn't seem to be any ramp-up in difficulty as you get to the latter part of the series. Also, that's what the drop-ins are for, to see if you like the teacher's style.
When I was working at Cal Poly, my main email address was a cluster of NeXT workstations. I used to run a NeXT cube at home. I worked within Academic Computing Services (ACS) primarily as the SGI system administrator, though was still heavily involved with my previous assignment as NeXT admin. I also helped out with our Sun and SGI clusters. Combined, these three clusters make up the Advanced Workstation Lab division of Academic Computing Services
Since graduating, I worked four years for Silicon Graphics doing various jobs: a System Administrator, caring for the primary source-code machines. Three months after starting that job, I moved into the software build & release group doing OS, product, and patch builds. Last, I accepted a development position within SGI working of graphics system software. I got to play with big multi-pipe Onyxes which was lots of fun!
After SGI, I moved to a small ~100 person company that's been trying to make it in the post-dot-com bust. It's really hard, but hopefully we'll make it.
