For all those that didn’t know, I’ve been looking for new employment for the last month or so. For the last couple of weeks, it’s been a nonstop flurry of sending out resumes, doing phone screens, and driving around for interviews. Most of the flurry being motivated by my mortgage. :) Anyway, for anyone interested, I signed an offer with NetFlix today to do web infrastructure development. I’m pretty excited about being really involved with a pretty high traffic website, and the team that I’m going to be working with seems like they’ll be a lot of fun. My next decision becomes laptop or desktop for my work machine?

P.S. Thanks (or thanks again as the case may be) to all those people that were references for me, put me in touch with recruiters, or helped me figure out what I was looking for.

For the past couple of days, my parents have been in town. This means that there have been trips made to places like Home Depot, Restoration Hardware, Crate & Barrel, Ikea, Office Depot, and Best Buy in search of supplies for some condo remodeling. One of my first purchases was a 4′ x 6′ whiteboard from Office Depot for my office. It is the first whiteboard that I’ve actually bought, and I think that it will make a nice addition to my office. However, right now it is leaning against the wall of my hallway so that I can scribble on it in an attempt to figure out where I am going to work next, which is the primary reason that I’m up at 2AM (well, that and watching tonight’s episode of The West Wing which was kind of disappointing because nothing in the episode moved forward the Josh and Donna romance).

My dashboard on blogger tells me that this is post #100, so I figured I’d celebrate it with a post in its honor. I’ve haven’t exactly been regular in my posting since I’ve been doing it for 6 months, but I hope that everybody has had some fun reading it. I just got back from my trip to Trinidad, so expect a blog entry and some photos really soon. I’m also planning on reviewing some of the gadgets that I’ve gotten recently. Most of my month of March is going to be spent on a hiatus from work since I didn’t take any time off after leaving Mercury. My parents are coming out here to help me work on my condo in the middle of the month, so there will probably be some in progress photos of that work. If anyone is interested in meeting the Zibmom and Zibdad, shoot me and email. There will probably also be a housewarming in April since I’ll have the condo in as good of shape as it’s going to be for awhile.
