Ah Darnit

I just got some bad news a few minutes ago. I found out a job I had applied for went to someone else. It is kind of getting me down, because I was really hoping that I would get this job. It would have allowed me to move back home, and work from home. I thought I was in the running for it, but considering I didn't even get a 2nd interview, apparently I wasn't quite so close to getting the job as I thought. Apparently my almost 8 years of PHP programming experience wasn't enough.

Oh well, at least I have a decent job right now, so I don't have the pressure of having to get back up on that horse right now. It could be worse, I guess.

The Apostate Marketer: Lessons in Poor Marketing

Lesson # 418: The Youtube Video Demonstration


The Internet is a wonderful medium for marketing, if you know what you are doing. That is the key word. Unfortunately, the makers of this video either don't know or don't care about simple marketing principles.

WARNING: Turn down your speakers or volume for this one. It is really loud.



Makes you want to go out and buy a dozen right now, doesn't it?

Hmm...Incoherent screeching, nausea inducing camera work, and a garbled message. This sounds like something only a Hillary supporter could love.

The Eliminator: Song #142

Song #: 142
Song Title: "O' Holy Night"

Tough loss here, as it is an excellent song. In fact this song almost makes up for the general mediocrity of the entire series.
