I received some exciting news when I found out that a place right near my house was hiring. Once seeing that, I applied, interviewed, and got the job. So I have gone from working in Hollywood to working in Whittier. The digs aren’t quite as nice, but the commute has gone from 3 hours to 3 minute…and that’s just heavenly. And as an added bonus, I get to spend more time developing.

I love technology.
