Over the years, remembering individual algorithms or formulas has been replaced with recognizing the need and recalling where to look for that information. This method adds to the flexibility needed in problem solving based on analysis and design. There were not any specific acronyms or keywords involved.

The job market, albeit bad for the most part, is worse here in the Santa Barbara area. One advantage that we do have is the local university. There are several start-ups locally which could provide some opportunities that I wouldn't normally have.
