This is a good time to announce I've transitioned to work at IMDb, the Internet Movie Database. It's a part of Amazon.com, and in the same buildings. Before coming here I wouldn't have thought it worth mentioning; I've transitioned departments before. But IMDb is actually very different and the people are consistently the nicest I've ever worked with at Amazon. The other day an advertising salesperson came in and said excitedly "I need 6 action heroes of the 1980's: I've got Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis..." We named 3 more. And that was work related!

Appropriately, I have a little movie story. Last week we were at the mall and Finn saw this movie poster (courtesy IMDb) and shouted out the title for us : "Pig .... and Bug".
