one of the things i missed about half.com was the dress code.  i wore (every
day) no shoes, cut off jean shorts and a t-shirt.  the best part was that at
that point half.com was still in the business suite with 40 other companies.
i got the best stares from the other company employees as i walked through the
building.  ;)

i wish that place didn't suck so much, i did really enjoy working there.
