How to Dress For Sucess (at Google)...
I found this really interesting post on Digg. It gives you tips on how to prepare for an interview as a software engineer. I found something at the bottom that was very very interesting (Carlos this one's for you).
It says:
"6. (Not as important) Wear something comfortable to your interview. Business casual is the most typical.
People sometimes wonder how they should dress. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable. If you still want a recommendation, I say a button-down shirt or even a T-shirt. A suit can come off as too formal in some companies (e.g. Google).
This point is not as important, because people won't really care. They might raise an eyebrow if you come in a three-piece suit, but if you've got the goods in terms of engineering skills, it's not a dealbreaker. One candidate came to an interview wearing a gothic mesh shirt with holes through which his nipples were clearly visible. He still got the job. (I don't recommend taking this risk.) "
Now if only all companies were this cool.

i wish i'm getting damn tired of having to iron everyday..damn suitcases. we need REAL wrinkle free clothes. if it says wrinkle free i wanna be able to shove it in my suitcase and it still have no wrinkles.
what I plan on doing is going to interviews in my suit, I then plan on taking off my coat, to show them that I am not really wearing a shirt, but in fact, a t-shirt that looks like a shirt, to which then I will make a presentation to why they should hire a badass as me. this presentation will include magic tricks, science, and yes, lasers.
pft, bush has sharks with freaking lasers on there heads in the rio grande to stop immagration
