I am the Technical Co-Founder of a Stealth-Mode Software Startup.

We expect to retain a few consultants towards the end of the year, if things go well we will hire some W-2 employees in Spring of 2016.

If you'd like to work for us, whether as a consultant or employee, please mail your dead-tree cover letter and resume to:

   Michael David Crawford
   650 NW Irving St
   Portland OR 97209-1272
   USA

I won't ask you to do any coding outside your interview. I ...

  4. Having just now read that the NSA is stepping up its surveillance of the Internet, I decided to resume my previous practice of using the Tor Browser Bundle to hang out online. I'm doing this even when I have no reason…

  5. Also: 127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com 127.0.0.1 www.hosted-pixel.com Unlike many I don't object to advertising. What I object to is analytics. I'm completely cool with webmasters who analyze the log files of their…

  6. It pisses me off that everyone just assumes that all applicants have a GitHub account. While I do, I only use it to supply pull requests to other GitHub users. Applicants are never requested to supply their SourceForge,…

  8. I have been out of work for quite a long time. Not unemployed in the sense that I have my own coding and web projects, but I haven't had much paying work for five solid years. I am willing to accept that as my own…

  9. You can thank Po Bronson, author of "Nudist on the Late Shift", for letting the whole world know that he forgot to do anything for the mother of his infant.

  10. I own excellent English translations of Homer's Illiad and Odyssey. The poems were composed roughly three thousand years ago, then passed down orally through the generations before they were written down at all. While…

  12. The very first real resume I ever wrote had my pay at each position I'd held. The Caltech Student Employment Office advised me to omit my pay history as it would make it unlikely I would ever get paid much more than I…
