Turns out the web IS a small world. A few years ago when Jonk and I started working together he read this blog forgetfoo.com (NASFW). Over the last few years we've started referring to the content of Foo's site as 'Web Tits'. It's sort of a mash-up of web tips and, well, tits.
So, a couple weeks ago I run into Dylan at Mix08 (under miscellaneous) who works at ClearSpring with Foo. I mentioned to him that I read Foo and that we referred to his site as 'Web Tits'. He got a kick out of it and obviously passed the word along because Foo threw down a little shout out (Not entirely safe for work).
Actually, a few years ago when I was interviewing for my job, the last person I interviewed with was a Vice President of Engineering. He asks a simple yet tough question, "What do you read to get your information about new technology and or web trends?"
Seems innocuous enough, but you'd be surprised how many engineers freeze up or have no answer at all. Well, not me. I actually cited Foo's blog as one of the places where I get design inspiration and tidbits about what's hot on the web. Then I proceeded to navigate the veep over to Foo's blog having not seen what the current post was. Don't remember what it was that day, don't think it was tits, but I got hired.
And before I forget, top set of tits.
