In 2022, I hereby resolve to…
I don’t normally make new years resolutions, because I don’t normally care.

A job for me, but not with thee. Or, how to guarantee you don’t see my resume.
It’s been a few years since I’ve done the job market thing. Since leaving college, I’ve pretty much lived there. That’s brought back some things that used to annoy me about job searches. Admittedly this isn’t most employers–and so far, I’ve not seen it from any of the supposedly average … Read the rest

Education: 1 James: 0
Up side: It hasn’t been 4 months since the last time I looked at this thing. Slightly less up side: Academia and I have become incredibly close over the last couple months. to the tune of I may have to tell the next person I’m dating that I can’t marry … Read the rest

Asorted junk, listified.
As I do way, way too often, I’ve gone and fell off the blogging wagon. But, uh, at least I’ve kept up with the ones who haven’t? Yeah, okay, that works. For the 75 quadrillionth time, I’m going to attempt to fix that. And because there are post ideas in … Read the rest

Happy April fools day. Please bring coffee.
It’s amazing how involved folks get with the whole april fools day idea, even right down to doing things that honestly wouldn’t be surprising–hey, Google killed their Reader platform, so it’s not completely beyond the realm of possibility for them to off Youtube.

Things to note when taxiing a blind dude, in list format.
