Abstract :
You rarely see the words engineering and comedy together in a job résumé. But these stand-up comics found new careers mining old lives in technology. Collectively, they¿ve appeared in movies and television shows, but it¿s only at corporate events held by the likes of Apple, Genentech, and Intel that they can joke in shorthand. ¿Engineers have minds that break things into components and see connections between parts,¿ explains comic Wayne Cotter. ¿Comics apply the same kind of analysis to everyday life.¿
