By Brad | Published: October 13, 2008
So here I am again. I have reapplied for the PHP Developer position at Last.fm. Ever since May 2007 when I first visited Last.fm I knew it was the place for me. I applied and interviewed, but ultimately did not get the job because I had very little experience and no visa to work in the [...]

Isn’t it cool how random hot girls who you don’t know constantly send you spam friend requests? It’s a testament to Myspace’s awesomeness that even the owners of 23″ wide screen monitors still [...]
