First Day at New Job

Posted on 1 Mar 2002 · tagged · comments off

I had a great first day at my new job. I’ve got a pile of big, cool projects to work on. A lot of the work will be similar to my old job (the new gig’s with a newspaper, too), but in a MUCH more pleasant environment. I’ll be doing a LOT of php and SQL work, but I’ll also be doing quite a bit of design work, too, which is nice. I like balancing the left-brain and right-brain stuff about equally, though the programming work tends to come a bit easier to me. Any way you look at it, though, it’s going to be a welcome change to actually look forward to going to work each day.

Best. Weather. Site. Ever.

USWX has the best weather info on the web (as far as I’ve found). I spend a lot of time outdoors, and — truth be told — I’m a bit of a weather geek anyway. I really like the presentation of the data and, best of all, no pop-ups (at least for now).
