How about taking this one step further and help other people do a reverse job application, almost head hunter-ish style. You've stated that you're unemployed, so why not employ yourself? The Y Combinator application deadline is today =)

And Alabama plus the border or Arkansaw, whats up with that!? California and the Northwest didn't really surprise me since there's a lot of people and not being in tech makes things hard out there.

upvoted back up. Although hotornot has a negative stigma associated with it, I think you're spot on. Or how about okcupid w/video instead of the pictures? Photos and text profile only say so much about a person.

I was more pointing out that there are maintenance tasks that lean less towards something that would seem to be fun (for most people), such as keeping track of finances. These boring but necessary things are a part of life are simple thing

What about these thing, can they be counted as 'living'? Would many people count these as living at all??? - Periodic management of bank account and making sure you have enough to do whatever it is (survive, travel, have fun, etc)

While watching the video, it was simple to agree on the analysis of Nike's brand/message. Then Jobs went to give Apple's message, and it struck me like as if he actually didn't know at the time. Compared with "honor great athletes" and "h

Unless the other four people "forget" (come unprepared) to bring their PADDs to the office meeting, in which case, handing out the report is still the lowest tech to synchronizing a meeting. I understand your point, but people and meetings

What happened to abstraction? I think that's the real gotcha of programming. The programming languages today probably are better described as "good generalizations" of the operations available on a CPU, and the abstraction leaks qu
