Sorry for no post yesterday, but it was for a good reason. I’ve got a lead on a developer job, but it is one that is going to require a carefully written cover letter as well as complete rewrite of my resume. This job appeals particularly to me because it is 100% remote, meaning I wouldn’t have to deal with the two things I dislike the most about corporate IT jobs: rush-hour commutes, and cubicles. Blog posts may be short or nonexistent through about Tuesday as I get things together to apply.<\/p>\n

My head says Strickland. My heart says Sawyer. Mongo is a friend. No part of me says Herenton. Well, maybe my rectum the day after eating an entire jar of habanero peppers. It worries me that we now have a decade of voters who have come of age, who are too young to remember what a terrible job King Willie did during his last term as mayor.<\/p>\n At Trolley Night<\/a> next Friday, there will be live music and beer by the TapBox at 363 Mulberry, future home of Slider Out.<\/p>\n StyleBlueprint has a look at the history of Huey’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n A new coffee shop, Vice & Virtue<\/a>, will open at 477 S.
