Bradezone

How about another round of frivolous updates? Okay then.

• I recently joined Merge in Greenville as the new lead developer. The team is great, and if you check the bios, you see that oddly enough none of us are native to the area. They somehow found me despite my interviewing for jobs in such random places as New York City and Portland, Oregon. I’m eager to see what comes of the new gig.
• In related job news, my resume was also found by Amazon, and they set up a phone chat with me this coming Tuesday. It looks like they develop with Java, which is not my favorite language in the world, but it sounds like they have a job opening for development work on their main site, so we’ll see what the deal is there.
• This is the first Bradezone post from my new MacBook Pro.
• I put a new thing on my Apps page—a script that improves Firefox’s password-saving feature.
• Hopefully I’ll be moving out of my crappy house in the forest with a broken roof, blown fuses, no DirecTV, and no heat, and into a better location sooner than later.
• Recent fantasy drafts were held for hockey and basketball, and I brought my A-game to each. Starring for Belvedeeks Junior High are such NHL dynamos as Alex Ovechkin, Nick Lidstrom, and Roberto Luongo, while NBA stalwarts Elton Brand, Shawn Marion, and Chris Bosh lead the way for the Last Minute Wings.
• I am still in a fair state of mental disarray about a certain situation.
• I might be late to the party, but Black Cherry by Goldfrapp is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a while.
• The Titans are still undefeated. Is this the year?
