Announcing Our New CenterNetworks Blogger

Please help me in welcoming our first addition to the CenterNetworks team! Matthew is joining us effective today and he will be leading our silicon valley office.

Of all of the people I've hired over the years, this negotiation was the toughest. Every time I didn't give in, he cried. I've never had anyone cry before when they didn't get what they wanted so I gave in. Here are some of the demands he made:

• one monitor dedicated to friendfeed - it should only have his father's friendfeed account on it
• a "fail whale" twitter bib
• a large office with barney cutout
• ability to nap at various times during the day
• fridge with gerber carrots and peas
• an iphone 3g
• a box delivered daily of barnum and bailey animal crackers
• a direct phone line to mommy
• a crib with lcd panel and wii fit

So please welcome Matthew, we are very excited to have him onboard. Those west coast blogs better watch out - we are coming for you now!
