We meet so many people in forums such as these. We have our own name and identity on the web. But in real life what are we and what do we do?
What I would like to know is what is your day activity?
Some of you may not feel comfortable answering - it is ok. But for the others, pls go ahead. I have a feeling we will get some interesting answers.
I will start off - I am from India and work in a software development company.
Who is next?

Cool. I am a web developer and I am working in my own office here in Greece.
I also sing but that's not something that I do for living, it is just my passion.

Designer's post reminded me that I haven't mentioned I am a singer too.
I am singing since I was 14 and I really love that. The last 4-5 years I was singing with a band in a rock bar. Very good experience :)

ahem, ahem...
before, i used to work for a corporate giveaways company. i was in-charge of the design and layout dept.
after working there for more than 10 years, a friend of mine asked me to join him and do all the computer stuff(AutoCAD, etc.) in his new interior design studio.
since we just meet-up 2-3 times a week in his home office, im usually at home being a nanny to my only child, a 2-year old baby girl and helping with the wife's convenience store. making websites and internet marketing is just a hobby but is also earning.

As I was rereading this thread I think I found what we could do together...A nightclub!
We've got several singers and band members.
A cook or two.
A wine expert.
A promotions manager.
Several programmers to create/maintain the bookkeeping.
Of course we could all work on the website. ;D
Now all we need is a location. Who's with me? 8)

So when do we start the beer guide?
Add this up on the tips section.
Section 1:
Beer is good for the health if taken once a day, the barley content is the reason, the only hindrance to this is it gets addictive, so taking one bottle a day, may lead to more consumption which is the reverse effect of the one desired.
Section 2:
Beer like any alcoholic drink is the best invention of consumerism. Why? because alcoholic drinks and beers main ingredient dries you up and cause you to be dehydrated. So youre body will be asking for more fluid, the fastest way you think you can get it is to drink another bottle of beer, where the process continues over again...
