I started out a graphic design major way back in the day (before PCs were part of the equation). I moved over to computer aided design (in its infancy) since I loved computers / drawing and the money was good.
I did industrial design for about eight years and gradually ended up the guys that automated the software and kept the cad boxes humming.
Years later I now mainly code and do software architecture / analyst stuff. I enjoy the C9 videos and podcast like Hanselminutes. I get the most out of dev’s talking about their interest and the going deeper stuff.
The forum chronology kind of goes like
Arstechnica Forums – (Built the first Primordial Soup Team webpage)
Microsoft Forums
GotDotNet – (won an x-box from Terrarium)
C9
