I have two different Zebra Sharbo X multi-pens. They are the perfect pens. Full stop.
The weight balance is perfect (particularly on the LT3 model). They have interchangeable colors, ink type, and tip sizes (I like the 0.8 mm ball points, but they have them down to 0.4 mm which is very small). Each one has a pencil and two different inks. They also have a stylus option for some strange reason.
Go get one. Trust me.
They are Japanese and only available in the US via JetPens (http://www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Sharbo-X-Multi-Pen-System/ct/786).
You could go to a consulting company. Most slashdot readers aren't going to recommend a company like Accenture, but I was in your exact same shoes and really like consulting. I was a CS major who didn't want to code. At Accenture, I got into the architecture side of things. Today, I help enterprise (big) clients architect their systems correctly. No coding needed. The people working for me are typically a few years out of school and are already doing architectural work. Extremely valuable experience.
It seems that one of these boxes would be a great candidate for SnapStream's Beyond TV.
It's Windows based, but sounds a lot better than MythTV or some of the other software PVRs.
Has anyone tried SnapStream with one of these boxes?
I registered for SWEN 5230 (graduate level Software Project Management) at the University of Houston - Clear Lake. A normal classroom class.
You would expect to manage a project, or at minimum a group project in software engineering.
I got none of that - rather the class turned out to be a online course where I never went to class. I took 10 quizzes, 2 exams, and a small stupid project.
Complete waste of time and money. I paid $700 for a syllabus and three hours credit.

My choice when using Windows: EditPlus - text editor WinMerge - difference Team Foundation Server - version control with a good comparison engine Zach

Check out VxWorks from Wind River.
