The year: 1993. The place: Bonny Doon. A young Jordan looks dumbfounded at his Macintosh Color Classic that won't start. $70 and two trips to tech support later, and Jordan's data is unrecoverable. (Turns out the problem was a thick layer of dust on the motherboard, which the tech company completely ignored. And thus began Jordan's illustrious career of solving his own damn computer problems.)

The bar's over and it's time to face the real world. I've received some fantastic advice and am aware of lots of resources, which is good. Hopefully that will translate into an actual job.

You know how radio stations do that thing, "be caller #9 and you'll win ______"?  Well, I was caller #9.  I won two all-day passes to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  I've been meaning to take Yelena there anyway.

I've never won anything like this before.  I'm stoked.

(I guess I should listen to Alice 97.7 FM more often!)
