The Interview
At the end of a job interview, the head of human resources asks the young engineer fresh out of MIT, “What starting salary were you looking for?”
The engineer decides to shoot for the moon. “I’m thinking in the range of $125,000 a year or so, depending on the benefits package.”
“Hmm,” says the interviewer. “Well, what would you say to five weeks’ vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a retirement fund with company matching to 50 percent of salary, and a company car leased every two years - say, a Porsche?”
The engineer gapes and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?”
“Yeah,” replies the interviewer, “but you started it.”

Textecution™: Texting While Driving Impossible
Textecution™ kills texting functions while driving so your child, loved one, or employee lives.
Textecution™ is a user-friendly application that completely disables texting while driving. Textecution™ is designed for parents to install on their teenage driver's phone so they know their child is safer behind the wheel of the vehicle. Add immediate peace of mind, security, and safety today with Textecution™.
How it works:
Once installed, Textecution™ sits quietly in the background and allows you to use your phone as you normally would. Once Textecution™ recognizes that the phone is traveling faster than 10mph, Textecution™ disables the phone's texting feature so text messages cannot be sent or received. Once the phone is at rest, or traveling at a speed slower than 10mph, the texting feature seamlessly becomes available for use, and text messages may be sent or received.
What if I am a passenger, or riding on a bus or train? Will I be able to text?We have developed an override function into the application. If you wish to override Textecution™ and text while the phone is in motion, choose "Request Permission", and a text message will be sent to the administrator who installed Textecution™ on your mobile device. If the administrator responds "Allow," the texting function will work for the next four hours even while in a moving vehicle. The Administrator (parent or employer) is in complete control, and responding "Allow" takes only a second or two. Of course the Administrator can decide not to disable Textecution™ by not replying or by responding to the text message with something other than "Allow."

Introducing: Van Canto
A little background before you hit play. Here is the first paragraph of the "band" area of their official website:
We play Heavy Metal A Capella. Melodic metal songs, arranged for 5 singers and one drummer. All instruments that would be played by musicians in a regular metalband are imitated by our voices. Bass, guitars, solos, keyboard sounds. On top we put two lead singers, a male one and a female one. But we left the drums what they are, as we do not do disco pop. And having a drummer like Bastian it would be a shame not to let him play.
This is a cover of Metallica's "Battery". Today I heard their cover of "Master Of Puppets" on the radio, but it hasn't been released yet, as it's on their upcoming album. If I find it in the meantime, I will certainly post it here - it's incredible! If you are familiar with "Battery" you know it's also a pretty complex song, and so far I'm very impressed by these guys.
They also write their own stuff. In addition to visiting their website, you can find more of their work HERE.
