I'm going to be contracting at Microsoft starting next week. I'll be working on developer support materials for the .Net Micro Framework (this is a version of .Net for devices smaller than PDAs, like the smart watches). Developers developers developers!
So, now that I know where I'll be working for the next year or so, and given that I have to move out of my current place by the end of May, I've started looking for a new apartment. A lot of the local places have remodeled recently, which means not just higher rents, but also new kitchens with built-in microwaves. They all have the microwaves over the stove, which is about the most retarded arrangement possible. Reach up into the microwave cavity so you can pull out hot food and spill it all over your head. I would say that fully 50% of the apartments I found online tonight had kitchens with this "feature."
Perhaps I'm just frustrated because I just bought a new microwave (a non-retarded inverter model from Panasonic) a couple of months ago...
