I work way too damn much.

My own little business is on the dirty side of the fiber addiction for fiber artists and hand spinners:

Shearing (this is a suri alpaca)

I do washing and carding (this is my carder)

The carder produces roving (fiber in a loose rope-like form that can be spun into yarn) and winds it onto a bobbin to form a center-pull ball called a bump. From the bump one spins yarn - in this case a single on my drop-spindle:

For my day job I do hardware and firmware engineering for embedded control.

Well, let's see, I used to fly helicopters till somebody actually read the answers I gave on my enlistment contract. "Let me get this straight, you're going to let me fly, I get to kill people, AND your going to pay me?"

Then I used to design yachts till I told my boss, "What do you mean how can I tell it's a good design? Do this. Lay your hand real lightly here on this hull. Now slowly walk to the other end of the boat. Did that make a tingle, you know, DOWN THERE? That's how I know it's a good design!"

Now I sew skirts for men with no gender confusion.
