X-plorer Controller Strum Switch
Apparently I am so hardcore at Guitar Hero that I broke the X-plorer Controller Strum Switch as shown hm'yah.
\m/
That little metal clip above the spring should be attached to a plate that then makes contact with another plate to indicate a strum. There is one switch for the up strum and one switch for the down strum. Rather than spend another $60 on a new controller, I'm going to try my hand at a little hardware hackery to repair this broken controller. GuitarHeroParts.com to the rescue! And wouldn't it be my luck that they have replacement Strummer Switches.
It should mostly be a matter of unsoldering the old switches and soldering in the new switches ... mostly.

Last
After 10 years and 4 months, today was my last day at ReallyReallyBig Co (RRBC).
During that time, I've read some boring goodbye e-mails. Not one to leave without imparting a bit of humor on my now ex co-workers, I signed off (after the boring stuff) with the following:
I will have to defer any “words of wisdom” to those of one Eric Cartman (yes ... of South Park):
“Follow your dreams. You can reach your goals. I'm living proof. Beefcake. BEEFCAKE!”
