We are currently looking for up to 4 web developers and/or web site programmers who need an outstanding facility with awesome fast fiber bandwidth T-1 Internet access.  The office home is 20 minutes East of the Austin Airport.

There is a fiber optic dedicated internet connection with 4 dedicated Red Hat Linux Servers that are available for web projects.  Every room is wired with outlets for ethernet, cable tv, phone (including the kitchens). This may be a place where you can realize your maximum creativity and productivity and work in a great natural setting.  There are 15 acres to the property.

Year-end #3: some of the most interesting (if not best) posts

One more year-end post: a list of some of the more interesting Weblogsky posts throughout the year. This was painful to do, mainly because I saw various errors, mostly sloppy html, especially around blockquotes. <grin>

Thanks for reading, and for your occasional comments.

January 2005
Tagsonomy and "out of control": Social tagging.

February 2005
We're Only In It for the Money: ethics of blogging.

June 2005
Echo Chambers: strong partisanship creates echo chambers.

September 2005
Heard in today's news: one of many posts about Katrina, this one about Mike Brown's gaffe – "FEMA had no idea the New Orleans Convention Center was housing thousands of refugees who'd been without food or drink for 100 hours."

October 2005
A personal note: reassessing.

November 2005
