Hey!

Oh, right, I forgot about you. Anyway, I accepted the job at NextBus, and I have had my first day. It was pretty alright; I'm pretty much doing trenches technical work, but its a good place to be. I really like the people that I work with.
On another topic, I have gone yardsaling a bunch recently. A couple weeks ago I picked up a camera lens I immediately sold on Ebay for a $20 profit, and I also bought a faux-antique wine opener for $10 that was $180 online. Just recently, I also got a Jensen model 68 mini-stem engine, $300 online, for $60. I am not sure if I am going to sell it though, as it has special emotional value because my uncle has one as well. We are also buying other stuff, like ironing boards and various junque.

So, I got a job at NextBus:
good base pay
full medical coverage (no dental)
3 weeks paid vacation
stock options (3 years to vest)
yearly bonus
So all in all pretty good. No word on how long i have to get back to them.

I also had a prelim interview with imeem today; sounds cool, and my interviewer was really cool. imeem is also more in line with music content delivery, which is a space I have much interest in. However, what I would be doing for them (API programming) is altogether less interesting that what I would do for NextBus (wearing many hats and working on integration and data convergence).
These are interesting times!
