It's really OK, I suppose it was sort of depressing after making a
comment of having been offered over $100k several times in the past
year, but never in south texas, being reminded also that periodically
there *are* very high paying jobs in south texas doing very nasty
things like working with DirectShow.  It's a societal barrier that
makes me very sad to think of. :(

It's days like these that make me hate my grandfather for having moved
out of Silicon Valley in the 70s.  What an idiot.  Thanks for ducking
out taxes to live in a state with less educational resources, oh
provider of DNA.

Yee Haw.

Neato, I wonder why there is no affiliation with ACM SIGGRAPH.  Our
Digital Arts Committee is among the first groups that would love to
hear about something like this.  I'll forward it on. ;)
