Journal by Pikoro on Thursday January 18, 2007 @12:38AM

I have been working in the IT field for the past 20 years, and after getting hired by the largest financial company in the world, I thought I might have finally found a place to retire from.

However, after working here for less than 6 months, I find myself, not exactly burnt out, but longing for a complete career field change.

Since all of my experience has been IT related, I'm not sure where I could go from here.

Sure we all know a few BOFH administrators & developers who probably have a low opinion of the end users, but are we blatantly disrespectful of our business folks as a community & lack professional conduct? This essay"Blaming IT for everything...Priceless" is inspired to tell the IT story from a bigger picture perspective & hopefully answers some of the questions that were raised."

He consistently played 30 minutes of Wii sports every day and recorded the changes in his weight, BMI, calories burned, body fat %, and heart rate. The results are surprising. This opens a new door for Nintendo to market the Wii towards gamers who want to get fit, and anyone else who just wants some exercise without leaving the house."
