Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I work for a guy who does 3D biotech work. I might be able to "borrow" some time in the studio to work on something.
I know there are some truly amazing artist/craft people in the Bay Area (especially on the coast) so now my only problem is finding the right one to work with.
Thanks,

Sorry, should have made it more clear. We're not engaged yet, thus the reason for it being a touchy topic.... We have discussed engagement and decided on no longer than 6 mo. When that time comes around, then we'll talk about the rings.
I've been in love with this girl for more than 10 years (and still in love with her, and she with me, after 2 years of dating), so I'm SURE she's the one.
God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, but NOT Omni-controlling. Bad stuff happens to good people because we're not preprogrammed to a set of only good behaviors. We have free will that affects us and others. That doesn't stop the fact that He (God) loves us, and is willing to forgive us in the case where we make life changing decision(s) and turn away from that (and other) wrong.
I thought Larry did a wonderful job of distilling the Bible into two bits. If more pastors, priests, and normal Christians had as simple and life changing a belief, a lot of the ugliness between each other (inter-Church), and other belief systems (Christian vs. neo-paganism or atheism) would be resolved. Agreeing with others outside of your personal views is definitely not required in Christianity, but loving them is.
Given the condition that the two bits that Larry proposed are set, I believe that two more bits are in order. Whereas the previous two bits relied on God to view and set them, these two are set by your response to God:
A) Love God with everying you are B) Love the people around you like you love yourself
I'm a sysadmin of 6 years (including a year at working at Stanford), but I decided to go back to school. After a year, I decided to find a job to help offset the costs of school. I have been declined over and over again because I do not yet have my bachelors or masters in Computer Science. My six years of experience as a sysadmin/programmer hasn't helped me in the least.
It obviously doesn't make sense that you need a degree to manange a small office network, but that's what management thinks.
Go to college and decide what area of computers you want to work in. Get a degree. It'll save you in the long run.

These two bits, when set, change your life.
