One of my brothers was running the computer/electronics lab for the physiology
lab at Berkeley while doing the grad work
for the degree that is normally required for the job he was doing. I still have
the silk wizard's hat (modeled on the
one in Fantasia) that they gave him to identify how he was viewed in the lab.
He skipped the thesis and actual degree. He was too busy with his first little
computer company by then.

My outside interest in photography and optics led to a big project to replace a
huge, old tech, mapping function
completely. I had a lot of fun with it, too. :-)
