Gonz, you are always doing research.
Finding new food, new tech, finding out how Bert's brain works. All sorts of stuff. I think that what you mean, is that you don't think you could be disciplined enough to do it on a single subject.

Kindda, I'm always learning, and I really can see the appeal of expanding knowledge.....
... I love it when I try a new methordology in programing, or a new API, or find an alternative use for some technology that it wasn't intended for.

But that's different to research, research is a lot more involved. If I try (for example), a recipy, and it semi-works, I'll try again adjusting it... but I can't see me ever marking down the exact quantitys, or trying to get a machallin-star level of quality.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not putting eaither thing down, in fact, I think it's more than [donno the word] to expand the knowledge of humanity on a global level, that if you're curing aids or coming up with something that'll lead to helping anyone out (even if it's just something 'minor', like coming up with a shampoo that doesn't sting the eyes), that's amazing.... It's more of a case of me trying to understand the appeal of doing that as a job.
