O Master, where art thou?

As an Israeli, discovering Corporate America was a shock. Not that I never heard of the term; still, for someone who just joined "the industry" (as the hi-tech sector is usually referred to in Israel) a few years back, discovering that this kind of thing exists (and has many types of interesting positions, some are far from the usual computer-science-only cult of Israeli hi-tech) was mind boggling. I'm not sure how eBay strikes locals in California but in Israeli terms it's a pretty big international corporate - and now I'm relocating straight to HQ, to live in the belly of the beast with my wife and dog. What an adventure.
