Just last week I was bitching and moaning that the startup I work for was going under completely, leaving me to live out of a cardboard box. Well, there is news! But who the hell knows what it means...

In September 2006, a guy I knew only from IRC from years back looked me up, and offered me a job. $60,000 a year at a startup in Atlanta, GA. I was unemployed, not uncommon for me, and this was nearly twice as much as I've ever made. That and some personal things led me to accept and make the move.
