That Moment When…

Super Bowl XLVII. Who will YOU be rooting for? (image source) You know I love me my Ravens. (I predicted a Harbaugh Bowl at the beginning of the playoffs!) And you know I love me some visualized data. So in honor of my “the in-laws have gone on vacation for 2 weeks leaving me alone to […]

The last one is the best.  😉 Via Comfortably Awkward. P.S. — Life in the Geek in Heels household has been pretty chaotic, and will probably remain so for the next week or two.

Incredible Amazon Page Resumé

I have featured some special resumés here in the past, and I have to say that this one takes the cake. Philippe Dubost, a web product manager in Paris, created a fake Amazon product page to showcase his skillset and talents.
