Last.fm Act 2

Monday, October 13th, 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 [...]

Although “Bummer Vacation” lost to a very worthy South Park episode, “Make Love, Not Warcraft”, I thought I would share “Bummer Vacation” with you all, [...]

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Myspace: Time to move on.

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

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 [...]
