Come to Salt Lake City. We even have absurd branding to lure you "silicon slopes!" There are a few SF organizations with satellite offices here. I've worked for one, have friends working for others. It's a pretty decent

I count myself so lucky that I managed to figure these exact same things out my sr year of college. Got the degree and promptly did not use it. Though I contend it's still the most applicable skill set to product management of any degr

As a dude I'm exhausted too. As a boyfriend and a son of a mother, I'm accepting that I'll continue to be exhausted by it until it changes. But, I'm not walking on eggshells. I'm having, and will continue to have de

I read the article as: 1) We're decommissioning a recycling plant because no one wants to recycle rods. 2) We don't know where on earth we're going to put the waste from the decommissioning. 3) We don't know how we'

This was a good reminder, habits are hard to break. As others have pointed out, the comic is a bit one sided, but it's trying to make a point, so whatever. However, the comic does fail to recognize that the priorities of the woman (in

This article is about capital costs, not labor costs. >One point construction experts are making, however, is that taxpayers are paying premiums for these public projects since they aren’t being done open shop. The Empire Center report c

There are definitely different categories of tattoos. From flash to full body art pieces, remembrances of pets, girlfriends names, things to cover up ex-girlfriends names. There are absolutely tattoos one can get that are less likely to inc

You got a source for that? Everything I've read says they do. And yeah, obviously hyperbole in service of a joke... I also have no idea why this is such an obviously great idea. I don't see anything obviously great about it. Care

It means I would like "liking" a post of grumpy cat to use as much energy as a Toyota Carola driving from Miami to Washington DC. Luckily, actually posting grumpy cat photos causes brownouts, so there are none to like.
