pong

...and very very little experience. 
 
I went on Craigslist to just browse around because I was bored, and a NEET, but I think the fact that I was a NEET is what made it so boring. 
 
I was browsing through the job section and I remembered that I can do website stuff, and that my web design skills are actually pretty OK. So I checked up off intermediate knowledge of HTML/CSS, but then it said I had to be a Javascript expert...oh fuck. 
 
I don't know that shit. 
 
Oh well, I figure I know an OK amount of the jQuery library for animating shit, and I'll piece things together. So I applied and then I got an interview in literally 1 week. He scheduled the interview for the end of the month, so I crammed like a son of a bitch. I learned Javascript in a month. I think I studied around 15-16 hours a day, non-stop. I learned Javascript, a bit of Angular.js, and touched up my HTML/CSS knowledge. 
 
I was ready. 
 
I went into the interview, expecting to go through the 7 circles of hell, but instead, he asks me to write a simple form validator in jQuery. 
 
Anyway, I got the job, I just started, and I'm making > $45k because I know how to validate forms. 
 
BOOYA bitch. 

Made a few icons of my own and removed the finder for finder:

Eh, I'm wary of people that say HTML/CSS 100%. I'm sure you've learned enough to make a site with pretty basic layout/etc. I've been doing CSS/HTML for at least 4 years now, and I'm learning shit every day. 
 
Honestly CSS is getting really really powerful. Animations, transforms, media queries, typography, etc. It's VAST. You only need to know maybe 25% of CSS to make an OK layout, but that's just the beginning. 
 
HTML is hardly a mark up language these days. Web component support, canvas, etc. It's getting incredibly complicated. 
 
I'll argue with anyone that says web languages are for amateurs. They really aren't, and I'm of the belief that many employers want more than just a "language" out of you. They want a designer, someone that knows a bit of server side, front end developer, etc. 

Install Gentoo. 
 
Nah, Skype is ok, but it may be because I don't really use it that often. If fucks up sometimes, and it's some of the clunkiest software that I've ever used, but it does what I need it to.

Since when were you into electronica? We can bond on this @v3nture
 

I think it should be paid. Sweden has done this for decades now, other countries are quickly catching on. Then again, this is the USA, and although we call ourselves a developed country, we are behind in everything.

Why the fuck are you guys defending a country that shouldn't even fucking be there? Holy shit! Seriously? Generally when countries take over other countries or dissolve them, that's that, but in Israel's case we try to reform it THOUSANDS of years after someone else dissolved it. WTF

Sennheiser HD 558 Headphones
 
The Design/Construction
 
The construction for these things is great. You expect plastic to be, well, plastic...but these headphones feel solid in your hands, not flimsy at all. At only 9oz these things are also light, and you forget that they're on your head in about 30 minutes. 
 
The ear pads and padding are made out of Velour, a step up from the HD 518, and they feel the same as the HD 598.  It's very soft, and it feels like memory foam. 
 
The cable is EXTREMELY long, at 10ft. You can basically walk across the whole room with these headphones still plugged in...or you know, scratch your balls, or your foot, and they won't be unplugged.  You don't have to worry about standing up and dragging your laptop/ipod/phone off the table with you. 
 
BUT
 
This would be nice if it wasn't for the fact that YOU CANNOT REPLACE THE CABLE EASILY. Yeah, Sennheiser is great, but they didn't really think this one through. The cable is their own twist and lock 2.5mm cable that you have to buy separately. I won't because I'm a cheap bastard. 
 
Ultimately, this is what you get when you have focus on SOUND, not jam packed of extra useless features. 
 
Still, as you can see, the design is great, and they look fucking sexy. The mesh is a nice touch, and I like that Sennheiser is written on the top in big bold letters, strictly for vain reasons. 
 
The Sound
 
I like a headphone that is neutral and that I can modify the sound how I please with an amp or an equalizer. With most headphones, besides studio monitors, you have some sort of weird built in equalizer-like sound. Either it's too damn bass or the treble is insane, or the mids are killed off. 
 
These headphones are neutral. BASS HEADS GTFO. If you're a basehead you're gonna have to use an amp, as simple as that. But, also lucky for you, these headphones are a pleasure to amp because it's so easy, and it just does not distort the sound what so ever. 
 
Don't be mistake, the bass is there, and oh god does it sound lovely. Why it's great is that you can still hear the strings, guitar, voice, and everything else behind the bass. You can hear every string pluck, and every time the bow touches the violin. 
 
Jazz music sounds inFUCKINGcredible, and electronica like Bonobo sounds absolutely heavenly. 
 
The soundstage is amazing, it's like you're right there in the middle of a concert or orchestra, and you even know where the guitarist is standing. It's great. 
 
Final thoughts on sound: 
 
-Neutral even sound, with great poppy bass. 
-Large soundstage
-Mids are amazing
-Highs are amazing
-Lows are perfect, just the right amount
 
Cons
 
-Cable is too long, and is a fucking BITCH to replace/exchange. (-1.0)
-The sound leaks like a motherfucker, but you bought open headphones, so what did you expect? This is for enjoying in your room by yourself, or at a 50%-60% at a place with people. NOT FOR STUDY HALLS OR LIBRARIES.

What headphones do you have? I'm asking this because I'm looking to buy new over the ear within the $100-$150 range, and I'm leaning very strongly on the Sennheiser HD 558's with their awesome soundstage and fairly neutral sound. 
 
I was gonna go with the ATH-M50S, but the bass is there, and I'm not a bass head. Well, I am, but I like a more neutral sound that plays bass where it's meant to be played. 
 
As for my other phones. 
 
1 x Klipsch S4A II
1 x Sennheiser IE 60 
1 x Sennheiser HD 429 (what I'll be replacing)
 
I have an expensive pair of in-ear because that's what I user for the gym, etc. They're my primary ones. 
 
I just need some that I can use to relax at home with. 

Hell yes, if you were a casual member, you were treated like SHIT. Oh, and if you did have a great mod but weren't part of the top 1%, your mod would be buried into the fucking ground through criticism all so the top 1% can stay the top 1%. 
 
1. The attitude on that forum was shit with massive egos and superiority complexes. 
2. The power struggle was so painfully obvious and fucking pathetic. 
3. There was nothing casual there. It was uptight dicks that jumped on every chance to make you look like an idiot, all for invisible internet points. 
 
Oh, and if you were a dick on there, fuck you, fuck you so much. 
 
In before tell us how you really feel. Open Carnage and even Mod Halo was done right, that place was a cesspool. Fuck it. I'm glad it died.

I was browsing through the job section and I remembered that I can do website stuff, and that my web design skills are actually pretty OK. So I checked up off intermediate knowledge of HTML/CSS, but then it said I had to be a Javascript expert...oh fuck. 
 
I don't know that shit. 
 
Oh well, I figure I know an OK amount of the jQuery library for animating shit, and I'll piece things together. So I applied and then I got an interview in literally 1 week. He scheduled the interview for the end of the month, so I crammed like a son of a bitch. I learned Javascript in a month. I think I studied around 15-16 hours a day, non-stop. I learned Javascript, a bit of Angular.js, and touched up my HTML/CSS knowledge. 
 
I was ready. 
 
I went into the interview, expecting to go through the 7 circles of hell, but instead, he asks me to write a simple form validator in jQuery.

I plan on working here for a year to two so I can come back to employment opportunities. I have the money saved up to go now, but I'm taking an "insurance" of sorts.
