07/13/2003 Archived Entry: "Speaking of Bejewelled"

Speaking of Bejewelled, and because returning my Lecturer's appointment made me mentally compare my current salary to the all-time salary scale, brought to mind my three month stint at Ardesic (what I refer to as my "dot-com job.") Like almost all other dot-coms, they're long since gone, but their domain name is up for grabs. So I bought it. What the hell, I have remaining credit on a gift certificate from my web service provider (my other park is syntacticsugar.com, I'm really just a collector at this point). A small price to pay (well, actually no price to pay) for a bit of nostalgia: it seems everyone has their "I was a millionaire for 15 minutes" tech-bubble heyday story. By far my most interesting, bizarre, short lived, employment experience.

Ardesic: to burn intensely without consuming :-)
