I'm pretty certain that there's a mismatch between me and the rest of humanity - one side or the other is about 7 degrees off from Reality.

Well, yeah....
When looking at one of my favorite web comics this morning, I kind of got slapped up-side the head with a perfectly valid point. That 165 Million in bonuses by AIG? Sounds pretty impressive, when compared to the 170 Billion they received -- but it's actually less than a 0.1%.
I'm a 50+ general technology geek that got my start as an Aviation Electronics technician in the Navy (2/72 - 2/77). I was stationed in the Philippines for two years (2/73-2/75), and then was assigned as ships company on the USS Enterprise (CVAN-65, when I was aboard, the "A" standing for "Attack" and "N" for Nuclear - not politically correct terms, now).
Since getting out, I've been pretty much all over the country, doing all KINDS of stuff, including working as an Engineering Technician (supporting design engineers by building and troubleshooting/fixing prototype equipment). I still muck around with hardware (computers and general electronics) and software.
