  1. Yantelope offers the best advice. A good, clean resume gets a second look. A nice font, not too flashy or too boring. Use borders, bullet points, and other graphical details, but make them subdued, as to keep the focus on the words. Use titles and formating to display the sections of your resume. No resume should be longer than 2 pages, unless you are on a CEO level. The typical resume for someone without a lot of experience should be 1 page. There are professional resume writers (usually found in larger cities) who can make a resume look good. Really good. With a price. But, there are services that usually can help out with these kinds of things. Or, ask someone you know who might be an employer to review the resume. One last bit of advice, for the person who gets the interview, KNOW THE COMPANY BEFORE YOU INTERVIEW! If you are interviewing for a job at a dairy, know the difference between a Holstein and a Jersey. If you are interviewing at Intel, learn what management tools they use in their processes. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Appear confident, but never arrogant (which is hard to do, but smiling and being positive helps a lot). Know how to answer "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" and all other typical questions you see in interviews. Practice them with a friend who will take it seriously.
  2. The Sim 3: World Adventures. Free today for iOS. I'm getting this one, because I love free. http://www.freeappaday.com/napp.php?id=1499
  3. High Blood Pressure. Yep. Well on my way towards death. Gotta think of witty things for my future tombstone, like, "Here lies a bastard who watched too much porn, and is now stiff as a board."

      FWIW, it has the re-edited versions only.

      With deleted scenes and added scenes. For me, this is like giving me chocolate cake, but with added chocolate shavings and chocolate syrup on top. YUM!

  9. Question: Are guns legal in GB? Are they easy enough to buy? I haven't heard much about gunfire being exchanged, so I am curious. But, I've had my head burried enough I didn't even know about the riots until yesterday morning. Harvest time is a busy time.
  10. @ Mr. V. Grey: Target Apple Valley, Minnesota has the PSP GO on clearance for $69.94. You might want to check your local Target???

      Target is so very YMMV. I doubt half the crap I see posted about clearance. My Targets never have any good clearance.

      Small towns tend to have stuff still in the clearance section. Larger cities run out too quickly. But, I know he's been on a mission, and it never hurts to help when you have the ability.

      I once had my local Target have clearance PS2s for $50. I never owned a PS2. I found out about it when it was too late. I raged.

      Best game out of the bundle now. The whole music and feel is great.

  13. Conversly, I hate to read a great book, find out a movie is being made/has been made. The results usually suck seriously hairy donkey balls. My best example is The Accidental Tourist. Geena Davis was a great pick to play the female lead. However, the book was so much more than the movie. I think most people feel that way (except for E.T., which was a shitty book). I own more books written by Tyler than any other author. So, when they were making a few more of her books into movies, I ignored each and every one.
  14. Steam has King's Bounty: The Legend (PC) for $3.74. Newegg has Dead Rising 2 Collector's Edition for $20 and free shipping, available in both flavors: 360 and PS3.
  15. Bought my tickets for Tosh On Ice

  16. iPhone & iPad users: Battle Fury is free today. App/game is normally $8.99. I'm buying it today, but won't probably play it until I finish the next Lost Tribe of The Sith book that was just released.

  19. $49 for the PS3 Move Starter Pack. Walk in only into Fry's Electronics. Probably US only. Sorry, Egypt. http://marketplaceads.latimes.com/adindex-channel-30-frys-electronic
  20. Back in my youth, we had one way to connect to the internet: through DOS. There was no IE or Netscape or whatever you MTV kids use these days. We had to dial in, take 20 minutes to download a pixelated naked woman, and save it to a 5 1/4" floppy disk for the ol' spank bank. Aside from the old man disertation, this is how it once was. So, when I see how easy browsers are to use and manage these days, I almost care less about which one I use. Except for Safari. Not supporting Flash has kept me from being able to use certain sites on my phone. That's frustrating when you trying to get good tickets to an event.
  21. Just watched an episode of the anime Wolverine on G4. MUCH better than I expected!
