How to get a job at Fog Creek

My coworker Tyler recently started a series of posts on how to get a job with our employer, Fog Creek Software. If you’re curious why anyone would care, you can tell the level of awesomeness of where I work from a mere TWO pictures.

Summer Prettiness in Brooklyn

Yesterday I checked out the Atlantic Artwalk near me in Brooklyn. It’s pretty spread out but there were a few cool things and it was an excuse to finally get a Merguez (lamb sausage) pita sandwich. Mmmmm meaty.

When I got down to the western end of Atlantic Ave, near the harbor, I wandered up into the southern edge of Brooklyn Heights so soak in some quiet, green streets and gorgeous buildings. I didn’t didn’t take many pictures and definitely plan to do more architecture tourism around here this summer. (The pictures are here in the album)

And finally, some pictures of my street, and of course my beloved backyard. My landlord got a nice new table and chairs. They served Amanda and I well for breakfast when she was here—I’ll post that stuff soon. (The pictures are here in the album)

Happy Caturday
Thanks to my wonderful friends who came to da party. We watched Bubble which was bizarre as you’d expect from Soderbergh. Good for talking over though. We also ate lots of pizza-shaped food products from Papa John’s.

Ordering on the internet with someone else’s credit-card = AWESO
Waiting 55 min for delivery = SUX0R

I Need Another Excuse For Not Going Out

because I’m done decorating my apartment.

hutch thingie

Chances are, you’ve seen my nifty hutch thingie back when I first got it. I’m proud of my ability to take various generic IKEA stuff and recombine it into other things. This is two short Billy bookcases with extensions on the top which are only meant to fit the tall Billys. Those are on top of some of the sexy, modular office stuff.

Office / Living Room

Here’s my pimp little office / living room half of the main room. I need to replace my laptop because its slowness frustrates me on a DAILY basis, and I decided that I might as well make the monitor for my new computer be a huge-ass LCD TV. So there ya go.

Dining HalfHere’s the Dining Room half of the room, with the oops-too-small table I accidentally got a while back. As soon as I have money and people to actually eat dinner with, I’ll get the next size up. This series has pull-out leaves, so this thing gets pretty tiny. I can just stash it somewhere when I get the bigger one. That bookcase isn’t IKEA; I got it from Gillian, who’s moving to Argentina for a year :P

BedroomHere’s the sexy new bed I bought from Gillian. It’s like lincoln logs. There are only three screws in it! You can also see the edge of a small non-IKEA bookcase to the right that I also got from her. The two dressers are from my botched attempt to get half-off dressers at a sale at IKEA. I misread the flyer. Bottom-line: spent $80 more than I meant to :(

All the pictures are posted here.

All Weekend Long

Oh man, I’m ready for this weekend to be over. Too much awesomeness.

  1. Bday party for Elisa at Fish Bar in the east village
  2. Hosted a Vday party, thanks to all for coming! Drank a bunch of beer, ate my chili, watched part of True Romance and talked over it non-stop. We switched to Big Lebowski and someone (not me! amazing!) said we had to drink white russians. Then some genius said we had to drink every time someone said the f word. That’s many many many times
  3. Hung over all day (see white russians), went to IKEA with Tamar and got the last things I needed to make my apartment perfect. I’m never leaving now, so you should come over.

The finished product! OMG it’s so tasty! As always, I made it up as I was throwing things in the crockpot. This time there’s the usual lots of cumin, but also beer and worcestershire sauce. God did I mention it’s really freaking good?
