Retired. I was a waitress for many years. My last job I was working in table games at a casino. Yep, I was your local blackjack dealer and if you really want to know the odds, the house always wins.

These days, I love helping out my friends on their IOS devices. I like to remind people that when they buy an iPhone they are in essence buying a little computer. “Beam me up Scotty”.

Which is why I’ve never gambled and I’ve never bought nor will buy a lottery ticket. :slight_smile:

For $$$:
I work for a medium sized global corporation in IT. Over the past 20 years I’ve done web and application development, and more recently middleware development. We’re a Windows shop, but I got hooked on the Apple ecosystem when I bought my first iPhone - the iPhone 5 - the last real black iPhone :wink: Now my whole family is converted and we have nearly every type of Apple device except for an iMac.

For fun:

  • I do iOS app development and currently have an app in the App Store
  • I’m working on starting a blog
  • I manage the web site and IT infrastructure for my church and its Christian school

@Jonathan_Davis thank you for your interest. My background is in Psychology and Educational Psychology with a minor in statistics. I’m really in the early stages of incorporating automation into my workflow as I use business intelligence software and services to draw insights for student/school improvement planning purposes.

@stephen would you be willing to share the link to your blog?

@mmq Thank you for your interest. At the moment the blog is hosted by the school website and is only accessible by employees but I am toying with putting together my own website to host something more public. Do you think there would be interest?

@stephen There is a lot of interest in best and promising practices that support student well-being, growth mindset and mathematics, as well as those practices that enhance the supportive actions of adults, i.e., teaching staff, school leadership and parents.

@mmq Maybe I will try a bit harder to find the time to make the website then. Thank you for your reply.

I work in internal IT for one of the Big-4 firms. Part of my role is providing Mac support as part of a global team (I look after the APAC region), and the rest is running the team that looks after servers/storage/cloud/monitoring. Have pretty much always worked in IT in one way or another.

Title is Director of Digital Marketing at a small private university - basically I own the website and all of its relationships with marketing automation, CRM, lead generation, etc. I’ve been working in some way in the web world since 1995.

Of interest to this group: I spent a few years at Bare Bones Software as a “marketing operative” - again, website work etc. Before that I worked on the website and helped with support for Roaster the first Java development environment on the Mac!

I’m also super into genealogy and using tech to organize and analyze DNA and family tree data.

Clerk (and Reporter of Decisions) of a state court of last resort. We use Macs at work for now, but will be going to Windows because of a move to electronic filing and case management.

The IT folks in the court system have given me administrator privileges to the Macs in my office, and pretty much let me do what I think is best. I’m gonna miss that when we go to Windows, which, I’m told, has to be locked down tight.

My hobby is playing French horn, mostly in a really good community band.

Here’s one you probably never heard of - I’m the Founding Director of the Advanced Medical Simulation Center at Tulane School of Medicine. What does that mean? Fake mini hospital with robot patients to train future doctors and nurses.

Yep, you read that right, robots. Robots! Newborns to adults and a pregnant Mom who will scream at you. And 40+ computers, 12+ iPads, our own server, 42 high def cameras in every room, and every electronic device your nerdy heart could dream of!
