Pork is ok, not too fond of it though. But I love chicken! Teehehehehe Oh, and I know Okinawans make that Oxtail soup. ...............Bleeh. Mazui!!!! But I like Andagi!!! I don't even know how to make it. I just "tanomu" to my Grandma and eat whatever she makes. Have you tried Andagi Niko? (dumb question, but whatevers!)

Actually oxtail soup is awesome. any kind of food is great, but sweets. (sorry) BTW here is the recipe for Sata Andagi, altho your lazy butt prolly just let ba-chan keep on feeding ya! LOL!

Cool. Biomechanical Engineering is an emerging technology, IMO.

Wow!

By trade, I'm a software systems engineer... However, my Master's degree is in Electrical Engineering, which I never really pursued after I graduated (software paid better at the time).

In Hawaii, the ticket to job security is landing federal government jobs, especially in the areas of Mechanical, Biochemical, and Civil Engineering. Great benefits when get up to a GS-13 or higher level.

Software still pays better, I think...

I think it's true for any governmant job, local or federal. My friend is a CE for Public Works and the benefits are terrific. Not to mention job security. The downside is that the job is sorta boring and not anyhwhere near cutting edge...

Ya damn right on that!!!! Bill Gates built an entire BASIC language interpreter within 2-kilobytes of RAM. And then he discovered that RAM was cheap, hence Microsoft Windows. LOL!!!!!
