This video is especially for anyone who’s been to my apartment and doesn’t believe I have two cats. MisStick is the more silvery looking smaller cat on top, Harry is the darker, larger cat on the bottom. And Harry’s the kitten - he’s nearly 1, MisStick is his aunt, and she’s just about 3.
Some of you may have already seen over in my brothers’ blog, but if you didn’t…
Last week, on 2/5, Heather and Jason brought little baby Alice into the world. She is an adorable little baby, and we’re all wondering, who will get all the toys from now on - Jason or Alice? It will be fun to watch.
And, of course, she has a blog over at AliceBergman.com. Go say hi and check out the pics!!
For what I think are obvious reasons, I have no comment on this.
However, here’s a link to a blog entry Ben Metcalfe wrote on it!
My life has been a little hectic lately - we’ve been ramping up for the Developer Platform launch at MySpace, and, as expected, things have become slightly insane.
My cats seem to love that I’m spending so much time on the couch with the laptop, though, they’re fascinated by my typing, and the mouse moving around the screen. They’ll sit and stare at the arrow moving around the screen for hours, it’s hysterical. (note to self- I so need to upload pictures of the kitties and write an entry about them!).
Anyway! We began taking pre-registrations for our Developer Platform this past Tuesday, and are launching with a sweet party in San Francisco this upcoming Tuesday. The platform site is for developers interested in working with the MySpace APIs (including Open Social).
It’s kind of sandboxed right now - it’s not out to members, but applications created can be installed on live profiles for testing. It has everything a developer needs to begin building applications…documentation, sample code, test harnesses, forums where our developers will be hanging out to help, and a team blog (I’m blogging there too).
The site will remain as is for a while - long enough so anyone who wants to can create an application and have it ready to go live on day one. Even playing field for all, no “first mover” advantages, no “launch partners.” If you’re interested - you can prereg now, or just go to the site on Feb 5th - it’ll be wide open to everyone.
I’ve written here before about how the world is changing, and it’s a blast to watch. Wanna be part of it? You could be an application developer, independently working with our api’s, OR, you can work with us. We have two openings, and I know exactly who I want. I just have to find them, and I’m hoping maybe they’re reading this blog. 
The job description is below. If you’re interested, go to Fox Careers and search for req FIM10590 - it’ll show up as Fox Interactive.
