I am often happier on the water. (via jennatar)
Sometimes I try to think about what I’d do for a living if I wasn’t a webdev. Or more specifically, if the internet ceased to be and I was completely out of a gig. I get on this train of thought because often I feel like I’ve been at my current career for so long, that I really don’t have any other options. Riding the ferry from Alcatraz today, it occurred to me that I might very much enjoy being a ship’s captain, or something like it.
As I write that, it hits me: on top of how many of you whom I know from waking life are probably reading this and thinking, “Yeah, Jason, you love pirates, this is no big shocker,” I think it might be in the blood. Dad’s got mechanical skills and has loved cars since before I was born, traits he passed on to my brother. Mom discovered later in life her love of sailing, and can chart courses and pilot a small craft for days. Grandpa flew planes in WWII. I’m kind of surprised I haven’t seen this common thread before.
