YAYAYAY!!!

So, my Super Exciting News: I GOT THE JOB AT APPLE!!!!! I'm so excited and happy I can't begin to describe it. XD

Alright, you might be wondering whats up with me and posting stuff lately. I'll tell you. I have 3 posts, yes, three, that are written and just need a bit of cleaning up. I have not, however, had time to do said editing though, due largely to the Apple hiring process. I spent a week of free time playing with the various applications in the iLife suite [iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband, and iWeb, for those of you who don't know] in order to be up to date and speak coherently about them in order to move forward to the next step of the interview process.

This however meant that writing got pushed to the back burner, and the posts came together in bits and pieces. Editing is the most difficult process of a post, and I just haven't had the time or energy to do it. No worries, you'll get to hear all about my random doings on a regular basis again NOW THAT I'VE BEEN HIRED BY APPLE!!!

Yes, I am going to continue randomly yelling that fact in this post. =]

One of the things I had to do for Apple was to create a podcast. Except, they wanted a podcast with video, so more like a short movie. [A podcast is like a recorded radio show] I ditched the podcast concept altogether and just made a movie. Its by no means perfect, and large amounts of it were made between 1 and 4 in the morning, timing isn't always right, and visuals don't always flow like I had in mind, but whatever. I think its pretty decent for my first ever movie, and made in random bits of time when I wasn't working.

See, I had 48 hours to complete this podcast thing. I was working a lot of that time. The whole thing was oddly reminiscent of midterm exams - just sorting through the information and words in your brain at all hours of the day and night and trying to condense it into a sensible and coherent format. And then actually creating it at 3am, that was a lot like midterms too. =]

The terms of the assignment were thus: in 48 hours, create a podcast entitled "Why Me?" about why you are the best candidate to work at Apple, and keep it under 3 minutes.

This is what I came up with:

Ta-Da!

Anyway yo, I'm off to a cookie party. Chill out, stay cool, and be nice to shopping carts.
