I know there is something similar in the Premier Members section of driver, but it is very rarely utilized.

I was hoping we could compile a small database of where NorCal G members work, what they do, and ultimately find out what kind of connections they have.

The way I envision this working is stating what we do, where/with whom we have connections, and that way we can use each other as resources outside of just modifying our G's.

I work for a company called Trolltech in software sales/consulting.

Most of my previous work has been in corporate communications consulting, so I have a lot of connections in the audio/web/video conferencing arena.

I've also got a handful of hook ups in local automotive shops.

I work for MetroED, which is a vocational school district as their web developer.

I've been doing web work for about 8 years now. No real hook ups except I know a really good sushi chef XD

^ Really? My company has a bunch of clients within Lockheed- I'm sure you or your fellow developers have had some exposure to our 'Qt' product.

You've been using this one way too long, I have not seen any paper boys who own a G35 and an M3...lol, your going to have to tell us what you really do...haha.

I work for Medtronic, I am a clinical study manager so if you parents/family member gets ill from an Aneurysm then let me know, I will try and get them into a study trial to treat them. ( Hopefully they never get ill)
