A New Apple Store

I hate my pizza job. I want to quit. Bad. I should be there now, but I don't want to go. So, I was sitting here doing a search for some freelance work I might be able to do on the side to replace the pizza income (now that I have procured a full time job) and I found this ad for an Apple Retail Creative on craigslist. Look at where the location is. Flatiron Crossing.

Yes, there is going to be another Colorado Apple Store, this time in Broomfield. Excellent. I was doing a bunch of searches trying to find the opening date. No luck. You can be assured that Marcus and Mike (and me) will attend the Grand Opening. I have to have another t-shirt for my collection. I already have the Aspen Grove and Cherry Creek ones. I assume that since they are hiring for all positions on the Apple Jobs site, it can't be too far off in the future!

It’s All Gone!

Man, I found a job on Craigslist that I wanted to apply for--you need to provide a URL to an online portfolio. No problem, thinks I. I made one in web class. It's flash. It'll be cool.

<panic>I CAN'T FIND IT!!!</panic>

That so totally sucks. I'm sure it's on my computer somewhere. I didn't copy over any of the data drives when I upgraded. I thought I had a cd backup of it, but I can't find that, either. So, I get to start over for now and hope I can apply before they hire someone. Unfortunately, it won't be flash. I don't have flash here at work. DAMN IT!

Oh, well...better get started on it.

Font Humor

Just found this cute poem while font-searching:
ODE TO SPELL CHECKERS

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marks four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

One New Wishlist Item

BTW, I really want one of the new iPod Nanos (preferably one of the 4GB black ones). I'm sure I'll have to make myself wait awhile, though, as I really need to get some other things to get the business going. Maybe by Christmas or maybe when the storage is bigger.

Oh, and today's Joy of Tech was about the demise of the iPod mini. Go check it out—totally cracked me up!

Note to Self - Widgets

REMINDER: When I get home this evening I need to add Foxtrot and Joy of Tech widgets to my desktop.
