No, ya silly. What happened to him could happen to anyone. You should be encouraged by stories like this, not depressed. Your flickr link in your profile doesn't work, by the way.

Now turn that frown upside down, mister!

What the heck? Why is that happening to my Flickr link? I checked the html on my end, it's fine! Help!

And it's not so much the story as is it is the photos. They're spectacular! And he's a n00b!

"I received a professional offer from Microsoft’s MSX Design Group. The moment I saw the Microsoft logo on the header, I didn’t know how to react! It was the most tremendous feeling ever."

Wow, good for Mr. Darwish. His photos are stunning.

Ah, gotcha.

You have to put the http in front of the www in your flickr url. Like so:
