Not sure I like the blogger video tool. For comparison, here's the video when uploaded to youtube:
I was reading the paper this morning and noticed an ad for $99 window tinting. That's a really good price, so I called Mother's to get more details. I was told it was their low-grade tint that comes with a one year warranty. And - it turns out for my Tribute, they want $199. I hate the bait and switch. There's nothing about variable pricing in their ad.
Well, I've been wanting to get my car tinted for some time now, so I decided to give Sun Tint on 2222 a call. They said they'd do it for $179 with a lifetime guarantee. I found a $10 coupon on-line (because I'm cheap), so I took that to be a positive sign. I have to give the place credit for having a cool shop dog and the most interesting array of magazines I've seen in a waiting room. BTW, I was talking to one of the guys there about cable rub damaging my bikes. He says he has something that might help, disappears into the back for a minute and reappears with a sheet of protective clear film - gratis - how cool is that.
Speaking of magazines, I was sorting some boxes yesterday and found the first issue of MacWorld. This is the pre- jeans and turtle neck Steve Jobs. Out of curiosity, I checked eBay to see what the magazine might be worth. Turns out about $100. That's a 2500% return on a $4 investment over 25 years. Not bad.
I also found the manual for the original MacPaint. Nice, yes? Remember when they used to have competitions in MacWorld to showcase the best MacPaint work. Of course, you don't.
Also yesterday, I had a meeting with the dev director of a local start-up. I guess it went well. They want me to come in to meet the rest of the dev team. Also got a response back from another company I applied to. They wanted me to fill out the following questionnaire. Is this standard?
1. Why do you want to work for (company x) in particular?
2. Describe a time when you failed at something and what you learned.
3. Describe something you’re proud of having accomplished (doesn’t have to be related to work).

The tinted windows will be nice to have, to bad Chance isn't so chill & proof all goldens love balls.
I think interviewers ask such moronic questions because they don't have any idea about how to actually gather the information that will truly be useful to them.
