Cirque du Soleil

Dennis — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 20:27:01 +0000

Last week, my wife Carey and I went to a Cirque du Soleil show, KOOZA, in downtownÂ San Jose. I gotta say, it was well worth the $90 per seat we paid! Incredible performances, great stage set, and great music. It’s just so spectacular and entertaining, and the clown acts are hilarious. It was longer than I expected too; about 2 1/2 hours including the 1/2 hour intermission. If you ever get a chance, go see Cirque du Soleil. This year the KOOZAÂ show is coming to Hartford, Philly, Chicago, and Boston.

So at my day job at Yodlee, Inc., we’re hiring professionals for a variety of open job positions. If you or someone you know wants a good job at a solid company, please take a serious look. Basically, the company develops an online personal finance application, and it’s very cool to work in Silicon Valley, between San Francisco and San Jose (California, USA, of course). Anyone interested please use my name as a reference or contact me directly at “dlembree at NOSPAM yodlee dot NOSPAM com”.

Fry’s Electronics is Great

When I was planning on moving to Northern California, my cousin told me to check out Fry’s Electronics. Man, he wasn’t kidding when he said it was big. It’s like a super Wal-Mart but for just computers and electronics! It’s a computer nerd’s dream! What’s amazing is that there’s enough business for four of these stores in the area, which actually makes sense since this is Silicon Valley.

Fry’s has everything from computer and electronics-related–Macs, PCs, hard drives, flash drives, PDAs, DVDs, blenders, TVs, cameras, air purifiers, blenders, office furniture, and much more (including snacks and cold drinks).

I guess there are Fry’s store locations in Southern California, Texas, and a few other states. I hear the store in San Jose, CA is decorated like a Tiki Hut or Polynesian pyramid or something, and the store in Burbank, CA has a big flying saucer spaceship crashed into the front. Here’s picture of a “normal” Fry’s store:
