Writer, Agilist, Elder Geek
Have you taken a look at your fannishness lately and seen what you can mine for your career?
Every now and then, when I'm evaluating the next steps in my career, updating my LinkedIn.com profile, and similar activities, I like to review what I do as the total geek that I am. I review it because there's often a lot of useful things you can use in your career that you miss.
PROS:

* Occasional articles about career issues, ranging from science to writing.
* A great editorial staff and writers.
CONS:
* None
