What are some of your marketable skills that you might include on a resume?

As an example of a technical skill, I'd put that I can use MATLAB and LaTeX (the first not so well, but I'm learning)
As an example of a conceptual skill, I'd put that I seek the connection between the big ideas and the details.
(I feel that most people don't do this - certainly some of my professors don't. I was trying to conceptualize the tree algorithms we were learning in programming class by associating them with other topics earlier in the course. The professor then said, "Don't think like that, just follow the algorithm". That pissed me off royally, but I never said that)

Feist or Sia as of late. Been to quite some concerts in the past, some truly awesome, but nowadays I lack the urge to go to one. I love music but big concerts are way too overloading for my senses.

What was the best 'live gig' to have been to?

The best live gig I have been to would have been Jethro Tull, at the Perth Concert Hall, when they were on their 40th anniversary tour.

I don't go to many concerts because of crowds, but the concert hall isn't huge and everybody was seated.

I won't go alone. I don't mind going to movies alone, but for big events, I like to go with someone.
