Hmmmmm. Missed this survey and am surprised that the Scientists only represented 5% of the results. Probably spending way too much time at the lab.

I recently quit my job as a warranty administrator at a heavy duty diesel shop, and now I work at Lee Valley. They let me take tools home to play with.

5 editors- Chris, Bob, Glen, me and Ajax, 1 art director, Linda, and 1 publisher, Steve. But I don’t know who among us voted.

It’s curious that Arts, Design, Entertainment,Media and Sports; Authors, Writers and Editors has the same ranking as Food Preparation and Serving Cooks, Bartenders, Food Service Workers, 8 votes or 0.5%. By chance are there 8 editors at Popular Woodworking?

As a member of the technical community, I want to get AWAY from my iPhone and iPad…that’s what my woodshop is for. However, most of the content in my Evernote application is “woodworking projects-current”, “woodworking projects-future” and “woodworking skills and tips”. Nothing like sitting in business meeting with my iPad researching my next woodwork project while everyone else drones on about business…..

I regret missing out on the survey. I wonder how many other 50-something semi-retired stay-at-home-dad-of-two-small- children woodworkers are out there. Oh wait, that wasn’t one of the category choices was it?

Dammit! By being too busy for the past few weeks, I have failed to represent my .01% of the legal community. If you count my boss, who is also a woodworker, that’s an extra .02%! But, since you were rounding up to get legal to 4% in the first place, it seems, I guess it doesn’t really matter, does it?

Actually, do we have a philosopher in the house to answer that question?

We technical types are suckers for low-brow humor. It doesn’t get much funnier than hearing a monkey with a British accent say “If you have any pooh, fling it now.”

Hmm .. guess I’m really surprised at the Art, Design, Entertainment, Media & Sports cata 4 percent. I see a lot of really creative work out there and thought there might be more art types. But who says you can’t be creative if your not in the arts, right?

Apple has explicitly banned pornographic applications from their app store, and if a LN slide show doesn’t count as tool porn, I don’t know what does. Check Android, which isn’t so fussy.
