Do You Want To Work At Newsvine?

January 13th, 2010

I just opened up our first ever dedicated interactive design position this week. If you’re just a little bit crazy, you might be perfect for it.

The official way to apply is by sending an email to msnbcjobs@msnbc.com (which you should do if you’re interested), but if you’re a Mike Industries patron, feel free to contact me as well.

If only I was dedicated, or interactive, or good at design… Still, if you don’t try eh? Consider this an application ;)

I did want to work for Newsvine at one time, but I can’t relocate to Seattle… and that’s that, I guess. I also recall that when queried about hiring more women, the response was “We tried that.” *shrugs*

That would be amazing. Would you consider hiring a telecommuter?

Same issue here. There aren’t many jobs, as plum as this one is, I would consider leaving Montana for.

Solitude and Leadership:

Multitasking, in short, is not only not thinking, it impairs your ability to think.Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it. Not learning other people’s ideas, or memorizing a body of information…

Takes a little while to get going, but overall a great article about the virtues of seeking solitude from distractions in order to develop your own original thoughts.

If there is a state of the art of end-of-life care, it is this: death with dignity.

This is the most concise, easily understood article on the perils of end-of-like care in the United States I’ve ever read. It is a must-read, and frankly, a must-heed, in my opinion. (via kottke)

Embarrassed I had never seen this until today. Lovely work all around. (via drawar)

This recently unearthed video of Steve Jobs at work during the early days of NeXT is a remarkable look inside how he ran meetings, how he created culture at his startups, and how others — like Joanna Hoffman around the 11 minute mark — called B.S. on his reality distortion field. It’s also remarkable in that it reveals Jobs to be a man who picks carrots in pressed work shirts.

Lots of good thinking here. No solutions, but a nice reminder that two-dimensional touch interfaces are transitional, not permanent.
