Eugene Hsu, who holds a Ph.D. in computer science from MIT, is looking for a job. So to impress prospective employers, he made his curriculum vitae with Microsoft Paint. Hsu also talks about his friend's overly-affectionate dog, his love for all drinks that are orange (except for carrot juice) and that he is a robot from the 2478 sent back in time to kill you. It's a trippy and fanciful work of job-hunting throughout.

I have to agree with Brett though, for all the 'controversy' over the value of degrees, no one can deny that degrees from certain schools are more than worth their weight in gold. A technical/science degree from MIT has got to open doors anywhere and everywhere in the world, regardless of your personality and social skills.

Hey Ted, notice he's computer science? Ever see some of the more "creative" offices for the large CGI and internet services companies? Leads me to think if he wants to work somewhere like this they may appreciate his imagination and creativity coupled with his qualifications.

um ted....this fellows work is from 2008. so it is doubtful he has copied something from last year, which was 2009. unless he is indeed a time traveler as he jokingly said he was. professional? with credentials from MIT i'd say he can pretty much do what he wants.I bet he has a job now too. a pretty darn good one.

We already saw something similar last year. Some dude did hi resume in Flash. This guy's a copycat.

A resume is supposed to be professional. This is as dumb as putting it on yellow paper to stand out.

Digger is more than a big horse - he's a proud member of the race of shire horses. The shire horse is the descendant of the medieval Great Horse, which was brought to England in 1066 by William the Conqueror. Their numbers have been on the rise in Great Britain after almost becoming extinct in the 1940s.

aren't all shire horses, uh, rather big? I remember having ridden one that was 2.10m in Germany. I don't like riding tall horses normally, I much rather ride Arabian horses (~1.50m or something like that), but with the shires it is extremely impressive how the earth is "shaking" when you are galopping (sp?) over the fields..

I'd like to point out to Louise that he is a Clydesdale, not a Shire, and it is a particular accomplishment for a Clydesdale to be as tall as a Shire. The breeds were developed separately--the Shire in England and the Clydesdale in Scotland.

Ashley: ah, thanks for the info :) as i have mentioned, i much rather deal with smaller horses, Arabian and similar, and thus don't pay attention to the bigger ones. By the way, in German we distinguish them not only by breeds but also, much more generally, by something we call "full blood", "warm blood", "Iberian", "Small Horses" and "cold blood" - what are the English names for that?

And does anyone have an idea how to get rid of my partner's ridiculous idea that horses will eat him? (no, all rational arguments don't work)...

Sometimes I wish there were a way to 'favorite' comments here - Vako, you made me laugh out loud =)

And Aeris, why would you want to rid your partner of such a charmingly amusing phobia? Cultivate it for fun and entertainment! Dress him up like a bag of oats and send him out amongst the horsies ...

Haha! I like Stacyj's idea of dressing him up and sending him out.

Aeris, we have warmbloods as a generic breed, hotbloods like Arabians and Thoroughbreds, drafts (probably your cold bloods), and ponies (shorter breeds). What are Iberians?

stacy: because if he keeps his morbid fear of horses, he will never end up buying me one . or accompany me on some trips... also, when it comes to dressing up, i'd have to dress him up like a giant carrot, he's too tall and skinny for a bag of anything. :D

when it comes to comments though, Vako's "joke" too obvious to still be funny... but props to him for having the balls to actually say it :D

Shire horses? I must be reading too much (just restarted reading Lord of the Rings) because I have a sudden vision of Hobbits and Digger on an adventure.

@ Aeris: I think it was the obviousness that made me laugh, I'm not usually a "so stupid it's funny" type but for whatever reason, "I think I'll name him Tall Pony" tickled me in much the same way that "Mister Splashy Pants" from that whale naming contest did =) Your idea of someone dressed up like a carrot likewise just made me giggle ... apparently "sophisticated" isn't exactly an apt term for my sense of humor =P

(and Ali S., thank you, I'm glad there were other folks who immediately lept to the LOTR connection when reading this post, too ...)

@Ashley - Thanks for explaining the origin of Clydesdales to me, which I hadn't known before. What is the breeding relationship between Clydesdales and Shires?

My grandmother was always quite proud of her own maternal grandfather, who had driven a six-hitch of Clydesdales as a brewery teamster in Boston for thirty year at the end of the 19th century. Any man who could handle six of those, day in and day out, through clattering city streets in all kinds of weather, must have both stamina and ferocious will.
