The Apprentice
TIer to be contestant on 'The Apprentice'(08 Feb 2006)
A Dallas TIer has landed a spot on the next season of "The Apprentice," the TV show in which contestants vie for a job with real-estate magnate Donald Trump.
At 27, he has worked at TI for five years and holds two bachelor's degrees, one in liberal arts from St. Anselm College and one in electrical engineering from The Catholic University of America. He has played rugby for the Dallas Harlequins, and he has rowed crew in the Henley Royal Regatta in England. He's also a member of Mensa, an organization of people with high IQs. As part of being a contestant, he has his own Web site: www.tsaab.com.
Yes, I am a little bit envious of him, not because he is going to be on the Apprentice, but because he is a member of MENSA and I always envy brainy people. This guy reminds me a lot 0f one of my best friends, Alan Meadows, after talking to him for 3 minutes you can tell he is extremely intelligent. Alan was part of the inspiration for this template, he is in the Airforce and he worked very hard to get there. He even went through a bizarre surgery so that he could get in and now he is a pilot at Tinker Airforce base. I admire anyone that is that committed.
On a different note, I added some dog tags to the masthead of the template compliments of Biggy. He photoshopped them with a transparent background. I added a drop shadow and voila, we have a unique element added to the site design. Biggy also stumbled across a bit of puzzling CSS code that was causing all of his active pictures to become black and white. He thought it was a bug when it was actually a feature. I have employed this feature on my pictures. Now my pictures display black and white and when you hover over them, they change to color! Thanks Biggy for all the help! You ROCK!

oh my word he is GORGEOUS, sorry that was the first thing that came to mind, but he is obviously also intelligent and athletic and as long as he isn't an arrogant fool I'm pulling for him
Eddie...
I appreciate all your hard work and all of the bells and whistles... but if I am honest, this is not my favorite design. For me... anyway. I think it is the color scheme or something... Just keeping it real my friend. I think that there is too much slobbering and "great jobs" out in the blogosphere. So, I am leading the charge and saying what I am thinking.
You are an AWESOME designer and very intelligent/creative person.
You should be in Mensa.
mmmm... delicious! I love a criticism sandwich!
Ben, since we are being honest...
Please stop eating the entire American supply of Girl Scout Cookies!
oh, and I found that CD today to do your split template, but now I am mad and I won't do it because you were honest.
lol.
Criticism sandwich... Hm.
That is what that was... never thought about.
But you are reading too much into my comment... I didn't say I didn't LIKE the design... but that it wasn't my favorite. And I figured I should state that rather then slobber you with an insincere "great job."
And speaking of cookies... look at the brightside... it could have been a criticism OREO... Whereby I would have criticised, then said something that resembled the yummy cream filled goodness... and then left you with a criticism.
I still think you should be in Mensa. You are brilliant.
That comment was given with no strings attached... If you choose not to do our split template... that's okay. You are still cool in my book.
Note to all: K-T doesn't like arrogant fools. I don't blame you a bit K-T.
Do you know him Eddo? Seen him around?
I'm thrilled that you have a "Destinations" drop box. Yours was the only site that I couldn't easily hop to my next site from. Handy Dandy!
ha ha - thanks for all the compliments - of course i am still doing the template - I was joking about being mad - :)
Thanks AM! I have wanted to add something like that forever and finally got around to it.
I didn't figure you were mad.
We love everybody around here... hopefully sensed the humor in my last string of compliments and criticisms.
You're okay, I am okay... we are all okay.
Just a big "honest" lovefest going on here.
Actually, I am not okay - I am LIVID!!!
okay, I just said that so my new updated blog photo would show up...
Mensa is a group that I aspire to enter into one day. I find intelligence quite the turn on (or men that can do things that I have no understanding of...like being computer savvy).
I think the cut off for Mensa is an IQ of 130 or above. Sadly I have taken an IQ test on three different occassions, and have scored a 130 every time (2 little, crappy points keeping me away from my goal...ugh!). I'm okay with mediocrity...I have no problem getting into a group with the minimal requirements needed for acceptance.
eddie new pic, from whenst does this one come?
i know from wherest it comes! on that trip he went on. that his cousins were there. and he was dancing. am i right? please say i'm right.
on another note, Tarek. He DOES remind me of Alan. And also, of Orlando Bloom. Except, smarter.
he does look like Orlando, put a blonde wig on the guy and he is a stunt double in LOTR, it's something about the mouth and eyes
I wasn't planning on watching "The Apprentice" this season, kinda over it. But I may need to rethink that if he's gonna be on there. Oh My Lanta, he is hot.
Like the new pic, Eddo.
Thanks Heather
KT, this is an old pic - I cropped Cribby out of it. It is probably Christmas 2001. But it is different and I just found it on a CD today and so I thought I would upload it.
yes, eddo. the pic is very "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Cool, because that is totally what I was going for - my next pic will be all "House of Flying Daggers"
Ha ha.
I just realized that I goofed earlier. The cut off for Mensa is 132, not 130 (thus explaining my inability to enter). Go me! See it's mistakes like this that will always keep me done, just below the cut off.
ROck on, template boy!
I happen to like the color scheme.
first thing I thought was Orlando... nailed it!
Eddie... love the new pic
katie said it..he looks like Orlando. And smart too?
I am only 33 and I already look at this guy and think, "I hope my sons grow up to be that gorgeous"
I must be getting old.
ps. eddo, this template is fabulouso
ok- i am sad that it took so many posts for someone to mention he looks like Orlando Bloom. The first thing i thought when i saw the pic was, "why does Eddie have a pic of Orlando Bloom on his blog?" Then, as i began to read the post, i thought, "why is Eddie talking about some guy and using a picture of Orlando Bloom to give a visual image of the IT dude?"
I am still convinced that it is Orlando and not some 27 year old Mensa member!
