I mean, how can you not love a job that involves <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5366345\/giz-gallery-09-the-most-annoying-sound-you-can-make-with-a-laser-synth+guitar\">&#8220;playing&#8221; a laser synth guitar<\/a> and writing about <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5389205\/windows-7-burger-hacked-and-unlocked\">some guy hacking a cheeseburger<\/a>? <\/p>\n<p>One moment in particular summarizes just how incredible this job has been. I was working in the Gawker office during my first week and at one point was watching a Youtube video. But I kept getting paranoid whenever someone walked behind me. I was new, and I didn&#8217;t want anyone to think I was slacking off. So every time it happened I would quickly hide the browser window. But then I had a startling realization: It was my <em>job<\/em> to be watching that video. <\/p>\n<p>That was just one of the many awesome moments I had during my time here. Hopefully I was able to share some of that awesomeness with you readers. <a class=\"autolink\" title=\"Click here to read more posts tagged #thankyou\" title=\"Click here to read more posts tagged #thankyou\" href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/tag\/thankyou\/\">Thank you<\/a> all for following along.<\/p>\n<p>As much fun as it&#8217;s been though, my <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5422023\/its-ok-i-love-my-old-gear-too\">old gadgets<\/a> and I are riding off into the sunset.
