We have better things to do than worry about whether you’ll change in time to get our business. Business is only a part of our lives. It seems to be all of yours. Think about it: who needs whom?
WeTalky is finally in the iTunes App Store. It’s slow, embarrassing, and far from achieving the original vision. In short, it’s beta-ready.

Good morning Dozier Hudson:
I am currently looking to fill a developer position in my department here at [redacted] and I understand by way of Dozier Hudson you might be available. If that is in fact the case, please let me know.
Thank you,

“When I’m dating someone I have a list called “My Oh-No-Nos.” If a woman commits an Oh-No-No it could end the relationship. Not loving 90’s R&B music is number 3 on the Oh-No-No’s List.”

I just made this into an Official Thing. Check out OhNoNoList.com.
Tweet your own “Oh No-No” and use the hashtag #OhNoNoList and it will appear on the OhNoNoList.com.
Yeah, a few of us were brainstorming starting one for the group of us in this tumblr CS circuit that would use it in situations where conversing via reblog is a pain in the ass.
Right now it’s just myself, eccentric-nucleus, foldingcookie, and c1QfXUgcGY0.
Server: irc.synirc.net/6667
Channel: #tumblcodeAddendum: I’m tagging everyone who might be interested.
Awesome idea - thanks for the invite. Reblogging for other CS/CP folk to see.
This project is experimental and of course comes without any warranty
whatsoever. However, it could start a revolution in information access.
