The Best Damn Video Resume Ever
Erin Michael Vondrak wants to work at Valve. Bad. So bad, in fact, she composed an entire song about how qualified she is to work there, and all the menial tasks she’d be willing to do if hired. And then she sang it, and animated a music video to it, too. If I had a “Triumphant Acts of Nerdery” tag, this would surely go in it; as is, I’ll have to settle for “Impressive.” Anyways, I don’t just think Valve should hire this girl — they should make her the goddamn president.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
