Hi, I'm Jeff. Right this moment, I'm jobhunting. I'm not a hacker (though I almost got a degree in compsci back in 2004). I've worked in TV news for about a decade, most recently producing. I'd like to work in marketing. Run a blog/social campaign for a startup. Maybe politics would be a fun challenge one day.

Of course, I'm mainly here for the good conversation: tech, startup culture, etc.

Also, I'm probably bored. Feel free to email/IM/text/etc. me to converse. I'm reachable with this name at gmail.

  8. Ask HN: Recommended Online Coding Courses?

    Wow, I feel like a child writing this. I realize this comes up too often, but I'll be darned if I could find it off-hand. About me: I used to know a little C++. I attended a CS program (made a bunch of simple games and…

  12. Ask HN: What if bandwidth weren't an issue?

    Inspired by a recent news post[1] and thinking of the upcoming Google Fiber[2] experiment in Kansas City, I'm curious what the HN crowd can imagine of the Internet if bandwidth were less of an issue? Sure, we can all…

  14. Ask HN: Startup records local HDTV, offers online DVR. I forget the name?

    And I completely forgot the name. Sorry to turn to HN for something like this, but for the LIFE of me, my Google-fu is failing. The gist is that you pay them, and they DVR your local over-the-air programming, and let…
