Well thanks, but I didn't pursue anything with Airbnb (I'm not looking to move to SF right now). But I agree that having an online persona is extremely helpful for landing your next gig.

When I clicked through to your Wufoo form to sign up for launch notification, the visual change was quite jarring--from soothing green to washed-out grey. It felt very alien. Maybe if you carried over the same green background over it would

Yeah, fair enough, the date is a bit easy to miss. Not my favorite aspect of the theme I'm using. Sure, it's 81 lines shorter, but I don't know what's going on there, either. Sure, but I'd imagine most developers have the default controll
