Crowdsource Me

Like so many people around the country right now, I’m about to be unemployed. Knowing there is a lot of competition for every single job posting that goes up, I need an edge - and I’m hoping you will help me!

I’m a huge fan of Twitter and they currently have a job open that fits me like a glove (Product Manager). I’ve sent my app in but I want your help with improving my chances of getting an interview. My plan? Simple. Get as many people as I can to tweet @twitter a message about interviewing me! Who knows, with a little luck, maybe we can generate enough noise to get some attention.

I’m certainly not expecting anyone to recommend someone they know nothing about. To help that out a little I have posted a copy of the cover letter and resume that I submitted to Twitter.

Are you in? Simply tweet out this message and lets see what happens!

@twitter Please interview @crispylettuce for your Product Manager position. We love him like we love Harry Potter!

What’s with the line about Harry Potter? Well, I’m no Oprah. I don’t have millions of followers. I think the only way I can climb above the chatter is to hijack a trending topic. Hopefully this message will get mixed in to the Harry Potter feed and more people will pick it up. It certainly can’t hurt :)

Thanks in advance if you decided to participate! I will of course post updates as to what happens.

Design Tip of the Day

Tip - “This Is For Old People. fuck conformity. DO TEH AWESOME THING.”

That’s right, I just said it. Right now. That was me. Mmmhmmm.

I would also like to point out the best “under construction” page…ever. It will go away at some point because I’m on the job now, so make sure to bask in it’s glory while you can.

Two Perfectionists Design a Blog

My first official post is a site update. Riveting. But, I felt the need to say thanks and make a small disclaimer.

First off, this is a very custom template. We broke all the browsers and functionality of WP at one time or another while we were putting this together. This is ver. 1 basically, so let me know if you find any lingering problems.

Second, this was a dual effort between me and Fathed. Yes, just like my buddy Clintus, I have been assisted by the mysterious Fathed. I figure we’ll create an interweb mythos for him seeing how he doesn’t have his own site.

Now, everyone pray to the mighty Fathed and thank him for his coding genius…otherwise he might pee on your site.

I’ll be putting up a real blog in the next 24hrs and I promise it will be amazing.
