One word: AWESOME.

I don't have any really grievous stories to tell from my own interviewing.

I was once interviewing a guy for a job coding web applications in Perl. He'd come to us from a gig in Oman working for Shell Oil doing visualizations of drilling paths for oil rigs. He said, "I enjoy working in Perl, but there wasn't a lot of call for it at Shell. It was Perl before swine, if you will." At that moment, I knew I had to hire that man.

Of course, several years later he bought the company and laid me off, so seen from that perspective, hiring him was a monumental error on my part...
