that’s great…

moving on…

Donaldson Company has been around since 1915. Although you’ve probably never heard of it, it’s been quietly dominating the filter industry. With over about 14,000 employees worldwide, and hitting the 2 billion dollar revenue mark last month, it’s clearly a force to be reckoned with. It was a great opportunity to work there. Alas, I’m moving on…

Once I settle in, I’ll talk about the new firm. It’s actually about time. My concentration (technical passion) in college was distributed computing, grid and cloud-based solutions. However, after school Akkam’s Razor lead me in another direction - gainful employment. Anyway, years later, it seems like I might get that chance to work on a reasonably large, scalable, truly distributed solution. I’m definitely looking forward to that, and it doesn’t hurt that my commute will stay under 30 minutes a day (with traffic).

new york cares…

If you know me, you know I love NYC. Anyway, there’s this song I keep hearing when I listen to the Radiohead radio station on Yahoo’s music engine: Interpol’s NYC (New York Cares). The lyrics are simple, but like a Beth Orton, it leaves a strong image in your mind. Maybe because I’ve taken the subway for majority of my early youth, who knows. Thought I’d share their video with you.

hey google, what is that?

So, as usual checking my Gmail account waiting on a few responses, and I see this odd thing in the top left corner. I can’t figure it out; it makes no sense. At first I think it’s a phantom, or lazy bit. I refresh a few the page times - look at the page’s source - still nothing jumps out me.

Looks like the bent corner of a page… Anyway, I decided to take a snapshot and simply ask if anyone else has noticed this? Better yet, do you know what it is?

Update: Someone on Digg brought it up, and as it turns out Google is aware of it, and is fixing it. I was under the impression that they purposefully did this. Oh well. Thanks Brian M.

TechCrunhIT speaks on it too. - Thanks Jason C.

cream of the crop…

William C. Taylor gives and interview that talks about Zappos.com. On interesting item is how they find the true cream of the crop… I think I really like it.

intelligent lazy?

Jeremy Meyer has a good post that touches on a great classification of people. I aim (hope) to be in the Intelligent Lazy group.

What group do you think you’re in? If not already there, what group would you like to be in?
