Week one of new job in Bellevue

I swore I would never work on the other side of 520 again, but the market is tight and I liked the interviewers at Applied Discovery, my new employer. It's a contract gig through March, so there's an easy out if the commute appears to lead to premature death.

The following help make the commute bearable:

• Some minor satisfaction driving a Prius, despite knowing I'm still a single-occupant vehicle.
• December sunrises and sunsets while driving over the lake.
• WFMU podcasts: "7 Second Delay", "Nardwuar the Human Serviette", "Shut Up, Weirdo"
• Tech and brain-empowering podcasts: Ted talks, This American Life, Stack Overflow

Any other podcast or commute suggestions are welcome.

Mark out.
