Lots of Win
Last weekend was ROFLCon (the conference on internet memes), which is always fun and hilarious, and it was particularly great this year:
1. It got a huge amount of attention in the local free press (features in the Metro and the Phoenix and an entire issue of the Weekly Dig).
2. The parties were amazing (with thanks to the generosity of the Cheezburger Network).
3. The keynote was amazing and panels were also amazing.
4. Isaiah Mustafa couldn't attend but still managed to do a Q&A via Skype.
Sunday evening, I went to see the Avengers with Film Club, but the showing was sold out, so saw Cabin in the Woods instead. Highly recommend that one if you like horror movies. It's a movie that's hard to say anything about without spoilers, so I'll just say it adds a little extra something to the usual slasher-movie plot, it's written by Joss Whedon, and it's good both as a serious horror movie and a bit of a send-up of the horror movie genre.
Also, Dumpling Cafe in Chinatown is great after a movie.
On Monday, climbed harder courses than before, but still no harder than v1+.
Today at work, completed the first round shadowing an interview. Can't say anything about the specific interview, obviously, but I do feel I got a good feel for the process, and it's interesting to be involved in that side of recruiting.
