There are three types of places that you'll commonly work for.

Microsoft shops - IIS, .NET, SQL, Microsoft MVC, ASPX, Ajax

Java shops - Whatever the latest and greatest frameworks and servers are, every place is different. Basically a nightmare to setup if you aren't familiar with it.

Other - Python, Ruby on Rails, Perl, PHP

I've worked for all 3 and would recommend a Microsoft shop. If you are trying to stand up something to show off your skills or practice, I'd say do a full end-to-end implementation of this http://mean.io/ to show off your skills to potential interviewers. It uses, for the most part, the latest and greatest technologies all the way from the DB to the frontend.

The most important part of being a Web dev is having a very good understanding of how it all works from the browser down to the back end. JavaScript runs in browsers and manipulates the html based DOM of the page served by the hosting software. The HTML served is very rarely static, and data is fed and received through the HTTP protocol. Understanding REST-fulness and the stateless nature of the web is key to good development.

If that's not your thing though all you need is a page that hosts a portfolio of your other projects. You could be doing stuff with NodeMCU (Lua, Node.js), Arduinos (C / Assembly), Raspberry Pis (PHP, Python, C) and as long as you post good logs of your projects with source code, interviewers will eat it up seriously. Most of the candidates I interview are not passionate like that, and coming at us with a diverse range of skills and a proven track record of self-motivated projects would get you immediately hired.

You can buy NodeMCUs for like $9 and immediately start coding in Lua or C for a WiFi-enabled microcontroller. The possibilities with this thing are endless and it's the state of the art platform for home based tinkering projects right now.

Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles.
The first part is 'The name of the wind'
Genre: Fantasy

It's about a boy growing up in a traveling group and also learning to use magic, basically. I don't want you to know too much, as this is a no-brainer recommendation for me.

I was gifted this book on my birthday and am almost done with it by now.
It is a beautiful work of art. Never gets boring and is written so vividly, that I am baffled at how good a book can be.

Especially if you like Harry Potter or have a thing for music I would bet that this story will resonate with you.
But even if that is not the case, I am certain that you will like this book!

These quilting chalks are my favorite, and they come with a little pencil, they wash out if fabric easily or are hidden by the stitches and come in a variety of colors: https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-Quilting-Chalk-Cartridge-Set/dp/B001UAJ7C6

There are also a lot of great fabric markers with disappearing or water soluble ink that are popular, just make sure to test them before use.

Here is the regular version of Love Letter

It's a great game for 3-4 people. Very portable, easy to learn.

Interesting. Looks a lot like angle clamp.
I was looking for one other day on Amazon and then I see your post. My brain works funny like that.

If you want more, just read this. It's where the image is from and is a brilliant read for Futurama and Simpsons lovers.

> They have much shorter life spans, can't be upgraded

Except a single GPU upgrade is usually more expensive than a whole new gaming console. The AMD 580 (good for 1080p @ 60FPS) is the price of an Xbox One. The Vega/nVidia 1070 (good for 1440p @ 60FPS) card are the price of an Xbox One X. These usually need to be replaced as often as a console would need to be replaced. At least if you want to stay handle of consoles.

> usually require replacing controllers with every new generation

Not anymore. Gamecube controllers can be used on the Switch, Xbox One Day One controllers work on the One S the One X. In fact, most any PC compatible controller is usable on the Switch

> can't play games I bought 10+ years ago unless I hold onto all the old hardware

That is why I can play KotOR (2003) on my Xbox One X, right? All of the companies have proven the new consoles have the power to visualize and play older games (you can buy old title via Virutal Console on Nintendo platforms, PS3 games digitally for PS4 and Xbox/Xbox 360 games for Xbox One), but Microsoft is the only one that went and made it free to do so. It is not a hardware limitation of consoles (anymore), it is a capitalistic move by the company that makes the console.

Would you happen to mean a Bender head like this?

Or is there some other awesome Bender out there I haven't seen?

I saw them at best buy, and I took these pics from amazon.

Okay, lemme just type this into amazon for you.

HERE YOU GO FRIEND.

Philip K. Dick's Ubik

> The Eight Characters of Comedy.

That's the name of the book. It's pretty much a must-read if you ever wanted to be in sitcom/comedy ensembles of any kind.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FPBUJMM/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's really thin but the colors are vibrant.

Of course we need to be careful of accepting their testimony as they aren't the most reliable witnesses.

Fry: who claims to have done the nasty in the pasty, be his own grandfather, to have saved the world and then the universe with a house pet as his witness, co-chaired a presentation with Leonardo de Vinci, of making a deal with the robot devil, and be the great-great-great...uncle of...

The Professor: who has been laughed out of professional conferences, has lied (about his age) to an official government agency, has defrauded a major corporation, has a history of countless workplace violations, and is a known associate of a convicted felon...

Bender: who has a history of drinking problems, of mental illness, of controlled substance addiction, of cult membership, of interference with the public EM spectrum, of corrupting the political process, and of corrupting the morals of today's children.

You know that the whole show is filled with mathematicians and computer science guys and, including simpsons, use math and logic in a fair amount of the episodes?

Good news, everyone!

Bought mine from Amazon some time ago. Pleased to see it's still up there.

For those wondering, check out the Futurama comic with the simpsons crossover. It has a great self-aware two page spread, and a note from the writer about how to tackle such a crossover.

first link I found when i googled, sorry it had to lead toa sale page

Bruce Lee apparently did hash, and he told friends that it was the only thing that slowed the passage of time. Literally the phrase he used, according to this excellent book:

The last 20% of this book is dedicated to Futurama.

This thing is good to have all in one place. Buy compilation, sell the regular 1-4

It is a picture taken from The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis , it is four different storys about the Simpsons and Futurama meeting up in each others world. The last 20 pages show a lot of cool concept art of the two together.

"THE END" It's the last page in the book.

Also the Slurm sign says 'ink', probably Drink (Slurm).

I think I'm going to do this as well.

Did you get this one?

From The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis, I believe.
