In college, I applied for a job on campus. It was a programming job and I thought I had it in the bag because I had a lot of computer science theory under my belt. But they were looking for someone Net-savvy, someone adept in the latest (latest at the time, anyway) Web 2.0 technologies, which revolves around social networking communities, blog platforms, and such, none of which were really familiar to me. After failing the interview miserably, I decided that the best way to learn about Web 2.0 would be to immerse myself in a lot of social networking communities (blogging, Flickr, Twitter etc). The best side effect of that failed interview was blogging, which has been my creative outlet. The blog has also opened doors for friendships with like-minded people.
Your favorite way to unwind on the weekends: America’s Next Top Model marathons. I love Mr. Jay. Mostly, though, I enjoy watching transformations and the make up artists on that show really deserve more credit. Oh, and when I’m not watching ANTM, I’m usually chuckling at the cooky antics of my pups, Taco and Chico.
