Yes, it’s finally happened. AlHamdolilah, today, I started working for Sony. I’m not allowed to talk about what I do, but I can tell you that the job is very, very cool and the benefits are very, very nice.
I had been doing some contracting for my brother’s company. That was hugely rewarding and the guys at my brother’s company are awesome people. I am very sad not to be around them.
This offer came up out of the blue a few months ago and it was a no-brainer.
My posts will be less frequent for a while as I settle in, but I am not going anywhere. I won’t be able to talk about the job, that’s against company policy, but I will certainly continue to talk about the usual stuff, from my own warped and personal perspective.
I can probably mention that on joining I was given a Sony Ericsson K750i, a phone I have lusted after for some months. It was just plonked on my desk. Far cooler though was the PS2 branded retro satchel I got. That’s about all I can tell you. Everything else is a trade secret and I will get fired if I mention any of the work I’m doing.

Omer - jazakallah khair, your unstinting support and friendship has been an inspiration and a blessing.
Robert - The thought had occurred to me, but I couldn’t possibly comment. As for a name, something like “Sony Yet Sofa” perhaps? But officially, no, I could never do such a thing.
