My day job is that i am a power meter reader,
My goal is to eventually become an electrical engineer and take advantage of the kickstarter wave, i want to be the guy they send the prototype to, to make it smaller/complete the electronics, or hire to build the prototype, plus in general i just want to become a tech-wizard, but i look most forward to being a part of the startup scene if it becomes big enough.
As for passion project, i have a few. At the moment the most relevant is a website i want to start up, aus-fx, or some spin-off of australian special effects.
The site will be a web store and service, distributing otherwise expensive or hard to come buy materials and technologies at bulk prices, on user requests.
At the moment i run an ebay store, and i am already doing this on there, but not properly, i sell thermochromic pigment, before i came around selling at 75c/g it cost $2/g, the buyers were being totally ripped off! i wanted to make a roarschach moving inkblotch mask but couldnt because of the cost, to buy enough pigment, thats where it all started, that and also selling carbon rods which were literall being sold at 50x their actual value, wheras i now only sell at 3-5x and offer heavy discounts on bulk purchases.
In the end though i want to help distribute otherwise expensive or hard to come by new tech and similar stuff, to help out people at the mercy of a sellers market.
