There will be a 5 minute jobbing event being held in Seattle on the Dec 8th. I know people from some of the companies involved and they’re good folks.

The basic concept is: Speed Dating Meets Job Fair. There will be chances to enjoy food, drinks, hanging out, networking, and meeting some local start-up leaders.

You can rsvp & attend if you want, but more importantly, forward this on (using the link below) to anyone who might be interested in attending.

When an online casino sends comment or email spam, I delete the message and move on. But when a supposedly reputable corporation posts off-topic comments, it’s worthy of a mention and a slap on the wrist to keep this from getting out of hand.

Recently, a company that offers an “enterprise alternative” for Blackberry notification and synchronization posted an off-topic comment in this blog. It appears a real human being did this, because they got past Spam Assassin. A director of marketing communications from the same company also sent a spam email to my inbox.

Needless to say, I did not appreciate this approach to marketing and on principle am less inclined to do business with companies that abuse blog comments to promote their business.
