What does everyone do for their "real" job?

Furanic biofuels from cellulosic biomass are interesting if they can overcome the excess carbon molecules and GHG issues that result. Furanic plastics look like a huge potential though. Lost of patents already out there to tip toe around, but I'm sure they won't be insurmountable barriers.

Interesting field to be working in either directly or indirectly. Good luck.

Thanks. We have been able to solve all our issues- but have done it quietly (well, our chemists have done it...). Our chemist proved the organic chemistry version of the cold fusion holy grail last Friday. Can't wait to test it out! We are probably the only fuel company ever to test our products on vintage motorcycle cafe racers! I burned through 5-gallons at Barber in the race bike....

We will launch our first blends after SEMA this year and hope to have a complete catalog of blends for each performance segment the following year. If you have any questions, contact me at caferacer at the domain vicarmotorcycles.com .

Are you going to be working a booth at SEMA? If you are I will be working there as well and would be great to come by and chat/pick your brain for a few.

The past few years I've been mainly a front-end developer, but in my new job you have to do it all since you're usually the whole team.

No booth this year but meeting with SEMA execs to discuss more two-wheeled vehicles and parts manufacturers next year. What's your booth number and I can come by on Thursday.

BTW, this is one of my fav photos from our first SEMA car in 2001 (taken at HIN) for Sony/Ford

Lets see I am going to be floating between two booths but on thursday I should be at the eBay Built booth outside number 63036. I should be there all day so stop by anytime. The other days I will be in booth 11917, anyone is welcome to come by would be great to meet fellow DTT members there at SEMA since I couldn't make it to Barber.

I'm an a&p mechanic. (Aircraft mechanic). I work at Odegaard Wings restoring p51 mustangs and tail cones of f4u corsairs. Pretty good gig
 
I work at a company in San Francisco that does event production (cameras and switching mostly) for a lot of the big local companies. We also do equipment rentals, editing and have a tape room. I mostly do the small equipment rentals (camera gear, sound stuff, etc), run the tape room doing broadcast tape stuff or people's home movies, drive around the city doing deliveries and help with the load in and out of our big shows.
 
There are some crazy cool occupations in this thread,to envy you guys with access to all those kick ass tools"

I make custom wrist watches, the first run of production watches will be out the first of the year! To this point all of hthem have been done by hand and manually machined in house. Everything but the movements, those I just buy, lol

it depends on what were building, anything from vintage pocket watch movements, hamilton, rolex etc, to new eta 6497's for the larger watches, and eta autos for the production watches.
this is a vintage styled driving watch, note the angle of the dial.

Dude, those are BEAUTIFUL!!! Do you have a website or catalog of any sort I could take a look at? Would love to see what you got.

That being said, Im a mortgage broker and own my company. We started in jan of 2010 and have doubled every year since then in volume. We basically built our business on taking unqualified buyers that had no where else to go and spending the time, months and in some cases a year or two, to get them cleaned up and in a position to purchase a home. Its been a long road the last few years but well worth it..
