Some groups of people in this industry change jobs like I change my underwear – every few months. Their own personal job satisfaction is apparently hard to achieve or maybe it’s because they climb to the pinnacle of that position quickly and realize they don’t like the view. Some people give consulting a try which seems
Soooooo, you ever hear the one about the software tester who walked into a bar? She ordered a beer. She ordered 10 beers. She ordered 2.15 million beers. She ordered -1 beers. She ordered a nothing. She ordered a cat. She tried to leave without paying. I’m sorry if you don’t get that one but it’s
Personally, if I’m ready to buy something, I need to know two basic things. First, what’s my excitement level for it and secondly, how much is it? That makes sense right?

The Google Reader announcement, that it was shutting its doors on July 1st 2013, really shook me up. Okay, my emotional distress is a slight exaggeration, as it is just a software program, but still though, it compelled me enough to at least make a video again. I hope you like the topic, as well
It certainly isn’t your grandmother’s apartment search experience anymore. Not even close. You can imagine how the process used to be.
