Odd musings on a December day

A couple things crossed my path today that tickled my funny bone.

2 keyboards that are special kinds of gifts:

An MSN tech article highlighted 2 unique items, the 'Keyboard for Blondes' which comes with updated keys like 'Oops!', and 'Das Keyboard' which has nothing on the keypad except for blank keys - see http://tech.msn.com/news/articlecnet.aspx?cp-documentid=15737752&gt1=40000

Sony has announced their latest miniatured solution - themselves. They are laying off 8,000 employees. The good economic news just continues to roll in.

On a more positive note, I have had 2 interviews recently. Well actually, one interview and one assessment test. I passed the test, which qualifies me for an interview. I have another interview coming up, and 2 more potential positions that I consider 'likely'. I am prepared for a great slowdown as we approach the holidays, but am hopeful that one (or more) opportunities will come through to start right after the new year.

Life continues its path forward . . .

I hate those assessment tests. I took one on shell scripts once, when I hardly knew anything, and scored about 50%. They got all excited and wanted to put me down as "advanced." I think it was Robert Half. They didn't get me a job anyway.
