Job market

I got a cold call from a recruiter. That hasn't happened since 2001.

Software folks (or those who can fake it) out there looking for work: cell phones are heating up. If you want me to pass along your name, holler.

How about UI research & some basic coding/web design skills? :)

Yep. Akien has been getting a steady stream of calls and e-mails. It's a nice change of pace from the past few years. Of course, they all want him to work longer hours for less money, somewhere he'd have to commute twice as long to, but hey, maybe we'll strike gold one of these days!

Yeah, tech is definitely strong. There was an interesting Boston Globe article a couple days ago about how tough it's been for local tech firms to find people, with the big out-of-town competition opening local offices. It sounded awfully familiar, since my two prime opportunities were a local company and Google, and I went local in part because I felt I'd make more of an impact there.
