I spent high school in boulder. Don't get me wrong, the place is "great" and all. But I'm not even a little sad to be gone.

A job at Sparkfun might make me reconsider tho, that company is the bees knees.

Also, I really wish your experience was the norm. It's far to common to spend hour working on a solution to a technical assignment for a job application, and hear nothing in response.
