I am officially embarking on my long-time dream of establishing permanent residency in Canada and am focusing my current job search on the Vancouver BC area. If you are a Canadian employer or you know a Canadian employer who would be interested in importing an expert PHP/MySQL/Flash developer with over 13 years of experience in print, web and multimedia design and programming, please contact me . It is much easier to emigrate to Canada if you have a job lined up, so I probably won't be too picky about what offers I consider so long as they are in Canada, preferably somewhere south of the Arctic Circle and most preferably in the Vancouver area. I have already received offers from US recruiters for companies based in Hollywood (CA), San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, which is somewhat comforting, but for now, I'm holding out for my dream job in Canada. Where are all the Canadian recruiters? Meanwhile, I should be getting my Zend PHP5 certification by the end of the month, renewing my passport, and learning a lot more about the Canadian immigration process. Any interested employers should check out the employer page on the Canadian immigration site and, of course, you can view my resume on my resume page.
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.
