Looking for a new gig? I hope this helps

February 6th, 2009 Lu Sancea No comments

I was reading a CNET article and thought that I would post it so others who haven’t seen it can see it.  It’s basically and update list of companies and positions that are open.  The tech gigs are in all kinds of different languages, but there are some Flex and CF gigs in there.  I hope it helps someone.  Happy hunting!

What I found looking around on Elance

September 11th, 2008 Lu Sancea 2 comments

I was looking around on Elance for new gigs and I decided to check out something new.  I thought, let me see what other types of jobs are out there.  Well, this is what I came across, it’s pretty funny…to me at least.

 

UPDATED: The link was closed out, but it was a link to a job titled: “In need of assisstant and girl friday.”  The dude wanted an escort that did filing.  Good to see that Elance does some pruning.

New Google additions: Walking forever and a possible SecondLife rival?

August 14th, 2008 Lu Sancea No comments

First off: Walking directions!

I already new about the street view on maps.google.com, but I just noticed that there was a walking version of the search. So, I decided to see how long it would take me to go to San Diego and hang out…this is what I got! To say the least Forrest Gump is a champ for running something similar to this. Anyway, on to the next thing I found.

Secondly: Lively by Google

Wow, this looks like some good competition to Second Life.  I haven’t used SecondLife yet, but I know that there is a lot of money to be had online in that game.  I have heard of several people getting big deals for designs and things like that.  Not to mention the many corporations who have a SecondLife presence.   Anyway, I just started messing with this thing, but it was too intriguing to not try it out and write something about it.  You can create your own rooms, I created one for ColdFusion and Flex developers, and you can design the room just like SecondLife.  I even see places where you can make morey off this thing by creating content and selling it through Google.  I need to check out the API on this thing, if there is one, it could be really cool for Podcast and YouTube casts.  Anyway, check it out…you can visit me and my company.

Anyone remember the car Voltron?

August 1st, 2008 Lu Sancea 4 comments


I was talking to a friend of mine and he brought up the car version of Voltron.  Now, I don’t know if I blocked this out because it was crap or what, but I found this clip on theTube.  Pay attention to the number of cars it took to assemble Voltron, holy crap!  They went from five to fifteen, more than double the number of people needed!  Hilarious.  No wonder why I don’t remember it.  I kept telling my friend that it was an obvious marketing ploy to get kids to buy all of the cars.
