Resumes of friends

  • Jesse Zwaan is a guy he codes things. He’s pretty good eh.
  • Josh McMillan is a competent tech consultant in the UK. Also my friend. Right, Josh? He just said he agrees.

NPR episodes

I used to listen to a lot of NPR. These were my highlight episodes:

Planet Money

People often write these off because they either don’t like NPR, or they don’t like things with Money in the name. If that’s you, give it a try.

  1. She’s a woman

Why does nobody get your jokes, Hraban?

It’s awkward to put that quote here because this stuff isn’t funny but in real life I am pretty funny.
