So, I bought this fubu shirt the day before my last cmu graduation (I had 2), because it was sort of subtly shiny. It’s amazing what a little flash can do, not so subtle.

to establish a baseline, I offer you pictures of me in it, talking to josh:

without flash can you say ‘iron’? I clearly can’t 😉
and at lower resolution (I look like I’m twelve, where is my perpetual 5 o’clock shadow

And now, higher res with flash:

with Art
in a typical pose for me, with charlie, anthony and

So, like, Simon’s back. Yay! And I’m hungry. And my parents are coming out next week. And, um, yeah. The living room is verbotten since rudy’s got it all set up for painting, except he’s not. Painting that is. Very sad. But Simon’s back! =) Woo. This posting style inspired by

And they want you to start for $12/hour, on the peninsula. Doesn’t starbucks pay more than that?

Well, that was good for a laugh. =)

A new approach in cover letter. Nobody seems to pay attention to what I’m sending them anyway, so why not brag a little?

This is ridiculous, and yet, true

I wrote my first web page [a few months] before IE came out. I am amused. It also puts a new perspective on employers wanting someone who has “10 years experience in web development”. Uh, dude, I’m sure you would like that. And several companies probably want someone with demonstrated success making nanotech robots. Monkeys flying out of my butt.

Here are the finalists in the “Bush in 30 Seconds” competition put on by moveon.org. It pleases me. I especially recommend “what are we teaching our children” for humor value.

My top pics are:

In my country — highlights specific civil liberties cut
Bring ’em on — specific indictments using footage of bush lying
What are we teaching our children — Funny, pointed, my overall top pick
Imagine — no specific reason, but a good general overview
Army of One — shows just how much Bush really ‘supports the troops’
Leave no Billionaire Behind — Pointed illustration of financial policies
Bush’s Repair Shop — Humorous, specific

Then I paid my bills and reviewed my financial status.

Instead of crawling into a corner and crying, I think I’m going to head out and hope that I find some uplift in a bookstore. I also have to clean the house and put the trash and recycling out tonight, if I want to wow the roommates with the fact that the place isn’t a sty after I’ve been left here alone for a couple weeks. Tomorrow morning, I will contact a small tech consulting firm I found in chicago, resend my updated resume to ulrich medical concepts, and word-ify and send a resume to this other chicago consulting company. Also, contact the sf-based tech recruiters tom referred me to (though they’re more the permanent/fulltime staffing gig).

I shall not mope. “If hopes were dupes, then fears may be liars…”
