I am somewhat sad to announce that I tendered my resignation to The Real Estate School, Inc. today where I served for over 5 years as the VP of Technology and more recently as the Executive Vice President. My departure marks the beginning of the next phase of my career and my life as I seek better opportunities to utilize the wide range of programming, design, and SEO skills I have honed over the past decade. Ideally I would like to work with a team of skilled PHP/MySQL developers on useful web based products and services similar to the ones I've already successfully built. My ideal job would be located in Canada or Western Europe or New Zealand, but I would consider another job in the U.S. with the right company. If you are interested in my experience and qualifications, please check out my resume and if you know anyone that could use someone like me I'd love to hear about it, regardless of where the job is located . In the meantime, I will be working on getting officially certified in PHP/MySQL and any other relevant technologies. Sadly, most of the companies in Tallahassee are ASP.NET shops and despite the fact that ASP and PHP programming is very similar, I suspect it will be hard to land the kind of job I'm looking for at one of the local ASP shops. So drop me a line if you hear anything.
Get Your War On: The Definitive Account of the War On Terror 2001-2008
My favorite comic is getting ready to be relased as a single volume. You can preorder now. If you hate the war and love to laugh, do yourself a favor and order this. You can also read all the GYWO comics online for free here.
BBS The Documentary
This is by far the most comprehensive and entertaining documentary I have ever seen regarding the early BBS system. If you're serious about knowing your internet history, or you just want some extra geek-cred, this is your new favorite documentary.
The Nada Chair "BackUp"
The best alternative I have found to overpriced ergonomic office chairs, especially for very low pain around the sacral joint. Works better than my Aeron chair ever did. Also, it comes in navy blue and black, in case you're not into the whole pregnant woman aesthetic (pictured).It's really not meant for sitting on the floor, it's really better for seats that offer poor back support, and works great at sporting events to make sitting in bleachers much more comfortable.
Antec Quiet PC Case
At just under $120 including a 500 Watt power supply, this "quiet pc" case has worked great for me for over 2 years. In fact I now own two great Antec cases/PSUs. For the money, it's hard to beat this combination.
