Experimental Job Board
April 8, 2009 by
Lots of great people in Georgia are looking for jobs, but at the same time, lots of great technology companies in Georgia are looking to hire people.

KOOZA
January 14, 2009 by
Cissa and I went to see KOOZA last night under the big tent (Grand Chapiteau) at Atlantic Station. Incredible acrobatics as always, but this is nowhere near my favorite Cirque du Soleil performance. As I Twittered last night, this production needed more gymnastics and fewer fart jokes. That being said, I'm curious about one thing. During … [Read more...]
