On a completely off-topic note:

I write software for a living and employ statistical methods for a living

I also do art for a living

I find this interesting, because I've toyed with the idea of trying to do both a technical job and some sort of artistic thing on the side (but am not sure how I'd go about the latter). How is that working out for you?
