I don't actually consider myself to be all that smart. I know too many people that are smarter than me. I'll let you in on a secret: most of the time I'm just talking out of my ass. OK, that's hardly a secret. But seriously, I just happened to have acquired a large set of mostly-useless information. Some of it happens to be very useful and that makes me employable. None of that makes me particularly smart though. And now I've been self-deprecating enough for such a silly question. ;)
