RasterWeb!

I found the paper edition of JobDig at the grocery store, and read it while waiting for an appointment, but lo and behold, there is also JobDig.com, and since I am still searching for a “Job that I Dig” checked it out…

I didn’t find anything that quite fit my skills or career goals, but I did stumble across the JobDig Podcast, which I thought was well done. Some of the podcast titles include: “Three Common Deadly Interview Mistakes” and “Exceptions for Exceptional Weirdos.”

So at least I’ve got some podcasts to listen to while I wait for all the offers to roll in… :)

It’s been a few months since I got the Buried songs online, and since then I got two songs from Patrick Hotlen, but never got to upload them due to Ourmedia problems. Well, they are finally up, and on the MilwHC Natural Cause page.

“Hell Bound” is one of my favorites, and “Death of a Miser” shows the musical abilities of Natural Cause at the time. I’m glad these are up now, as the whole idea behind the Milwaukee Hardcore project is to make our history available. Do you have something to contribute? Please do…

I’ve pretty much given up on the idea that this blog will help me get a job… (Unless someone wants to prove me wrong.)

I’ve also learned that looking for a job is a lot of work. You spend time on the job boards, and time writing (and re-writing) your resume, and talking to recruiters, and going to interviews, and you might even try a bit of networking, hoping you meet someone who might know someone who is hiring.

Anyway, I am a web geek for hire! I do open-source stuff, Perl, PHP, Apache, Linux, MySQL… Mac OS X, blogging, podcasting, videoblogging, wikis, Microformats, Sematic Web, XHTML/CSS, etc… And even though I’m a techie-nerd, I come from the publishing world with a graphic design background. I love the web. I want to help build it, and improve it, for a company I like and respect. Is that so much to ask for?

Do you know of something in the Milwaukee/Madison area, or something with a company that doesn’t care where I live? Let me know…

Hey, in the meantime, I’ll just be hopeful that PayMeToBlog.com takes off and pays me enough to live my extravagant lifestyle.

(P.S. I don’t do .NET or Java…)

I’ll be honest, when I made a post titled BarCampMilwaukee? I was hoping someone would notice. Well, someone has…

See this post by Justin Kruger titled BARcamp :: Why I like cheese even more than racing. Justin is involved in Fireseed and shot me an email which is right inline with my post. So while barcampmilwaukee.com does not seem to be online quite yet, it is registered and planning for the event is in motion.

This is awesome! I hope to be able to meet up with Justin and Bob to discuss this further.They always say Milwaukee is a “Great Place on a Great Lake” and I’m hoping we can prove this to be true when it comes to the web and technology as well.

When I know more, I’ll post it here.
