Well it looks like I’m the first competitor back online (probably since I’m just
crashing at my brother’s place in San Diego tonight) and I thought I’d post a
few observations real quick--I’m sure there will be much more to follow (and for
everyone at PDX, a cold adult beverage might buy you some of the more choice
tidbits...).
Anyway, as a lot of you know, I had told Lego during the interview that I
probably wouldn’t take the job if they offered it to me (since I’m pretty happy
with launching things into outer space for a living). This allowed me to really
kick back and enjoy the whole experience, while still saying “they better darn
well pick a LUGNETter or someone’s getting hurt!”
So when they announced Aaron I was pumped (even though Brucey-wan should have
gotten one of the other spots...). Megan and I talked for a while afterwards and
she is so happy that it made me ridiculously happy! They immediately whisked
the winners away for interviews and then stuffed them in a car for LA--they’ll
be on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show tonight!
And that press release is a bit disengenious; they didn’t look at everything
that was built this morning and say, “hey, these three models are far superior
to everything else, we’re gonna hire them all!” They actually told us last night
that they were picking two more people, since they are having some turnover in
the model shop very soon (if you’re scoring at home, here’s a spot where a beer
at PDX will get you more details). Also, today’s build-off only counted for a
surprisingly small portion of the competition; two events last night (sphere
building and some freeform building) and the interview were also a big part of
the process.
Well, that’s all I have time for right now--just wanted to jot down a few things
and also add my public congrats to the winners, but especially to Aaron! Sorry
East Coast, he’s ours now!

| (...) Now I'm curious, Derek, what else went down? why not share it with the rest of us who won't be able to make to PDX? what's the real story? enquiring minds want to know... (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug, FTX)
