I liked it. Hope you hear you've found something. I do think that you will need links to some technologies you've built. If you don't have anything built yet, why not get started? Since you're out of work why not start with something simple (a "facemash" clone for pokemon?? wait, don't do that, I want that one now. oh who am I kidding? the market can bear a dozen facemash for pokemon clones) I went to see the social network the other day and there was one line that knocked my socks off (wish I'd known it when I was fresh out of uni) "We encourage students to create their jobs rather than find them" Instead of looking for work, why not get started on making your own work? Will code for food. :) Good luck! Let us know when you've found something!

"We encourage students to create their jobs rather than find them" - i agree it was one of the better lines in the movie, but i am not sure i believe harvard actually possesses that mentality. stanford? probably. hardvard? probably not. i've heard a number of times (and believe) that the most successful entrepreneurs are often the B-student rebels that manage to hire the A+ students for their startups.

  yeah - I wanted to get the quote right so I googled first. "we will offer our students the ability to land the job of their dreams or create it." http://www.law.harvard.edu/news/2010/02/09_hls.venture.fund.html http://www.law.harvard.edu/news/2010/02/09_hls.venture.fund.... At the end of the day, I think it's mostly irrelevant where they say it (Havard, Stanford, Berkley, Carleton, all, none, who cares?) - it's the sentiment that really matters.

Thanks but I should have been more clear--this is not me. I submitted this because it seemed like an idea HM would like and be inspired by.

the market can bear a dozen facemash for pokemon clones Clearly what's needed is a comprehensive registry of facemash-for-pokemon clones. I would suggest that he get on that project.
