     @fasterandworse *shudder*

     Fun fact: dodged a bullet… they were headhunting me to lead (VP) on Silverllight back in the Flash days. Thankfully, I said no because I didn’t want to live in the US as an “alien”. (Kinda like thinking of myself as a human being, no matter which country I’m in.)

     @aral that's crazy! I bet they offered a bag for the role, though. They gave the agency I was with at the time a biiiiig number to make *anything* with it so they could showcase it. We turned them down because it just made no sense

     @fasterandworse Thing is, if you keep saying yes to them, all you end up with are the zeros.
