Shameless self-promotion: video interview!

Half an hour of me burbling and waving my hands while talking about what it's like to be a Goth at Microsoft, the life of a technical editor, and other random things. The first 7 minutes and 15 seconds are about tech-y job stuff, and then the interviewers started asking me more Goth-focused questions.

The embedded video on the page is Silverlight-based, but there are download links for iPod, MP3, PSP, WMP, WMA, WMV, and Zune at the bottom of the page.

When you have time, please go watch it! I had a lot of fun doing it.








(Shallow vanity-based disclaimer: the lighting and camera angle are not my favoritest ever, but on the whole, I think I came across okay.)

Too bad office lighting isn't there to make us look good. Our employer should pay you for making the best recruiting tool I've ever seen. When this video garners you a new legion of fans, don't forget your old ones.

It's an illustration of some Law of Conservation of Sanity: common sense times practicality of wardrobe equals a constant.

Hee hee! Fantastic interview, with just the right amount of burble. I am particularly fond of, "Now what does that acronym stand for..."

well done!

Wonderful interview and I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it.

Lovely! Going to pay my bills more often listening to to you talk it makes it painless. Camera boy had a lot of comments.

I swear, every time I see you, you are even more lovely!
I did get an amusing mental image when you said that you "always dress like this" of way back when you did the fashion swap with your pretty punk friend creating the beautiful punk Jillian!
I miss my Jillian times!!

And that text blurb is quite the best I've seen anywhere in "mainstream" -- i'm quite impressed ;>

Such a cute interview. I loved how they seemed to try to get themselves back on track to discuss Work only to be pulled off again to discuss Clothes.
