GT500 GTR

Holy shit Google, have you no shame?

I just got this LinkedIn message:
Hi Aaron,

I looked at your profile and was impressed by your experience with Xilinx. I wanted to see if you might be interested in exploring opportunities at Google. Please feel free to contact me directly. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Eric Bullock
Technical Sourcer
Google, Inc.

I couldn't imagine what he could've been so impressed about that he felt motivated to contact me, so I checked to see what my LinkedIn profile said:
Software Engineer at Xilinx
FPGA Physical Implementation Tools, Placer group

I personally find this insulting. He is obviously not interested in my skills or in me as a person, because there isn't much in my profile that describes me.

He is just spamming me in a blind attempt to meet his quota of monkeys. The worst thing is that he is copy-pasting some template that pretends to be "impressed". And that is dishonesty.

Smashing roadblocks on the road to victory

Another mystery solved
I'm finding issue after issue while testing my new system
Funny thing is, the problems aren't usually mine
I spend days trying to figure out why it isn't working
Then discover that, oh, our existing systems are deficient
So hack hack hack I go --- systems upgraded.
Shit, it still does not work
Fuck, here's why... there are problems within the existing systems
I wonder if they had ever even worked
Fix fix fix
Haihs

Brooklyn Terry @ Feeling Friday

Sunday twisties

Subaru WRX turbo, Mazda Miata, Nissan 350Z. Screaming engines, brisk night air, and the comforting embrace of lateral Gs. Control has become easier since starting a little strength training. Stronger legs helped with footwork and delayed fatigue. Core and arm strength helped with steering and stability. More limits surpassed; more speed ahead. Time for a wash.
