Who woulda thunk it? Eh? Ex-Microsoftie, Go-it-alone Cowboy gets paid by Mr. Do-no-evil. It really is surprising, ain't it? After all, dad is in the non-money-other-than-my-bank camp. This may be a small amount for now, but who knows? One small step at a time.

Yeah! Had to do that to beat the title tag.

Uhm, it's a job ad.

I don't care for Joel very much either, but I'm don't see any hypocrisy in him running a job ad from Google on his job board.

Seeing a job ad from Thoughtworks, which is in Delaware court fighting one of its investors for its very life (no IPO, investor wants to cash out as per agreement, Thoughtworks can't cash them out short of selling the company) ... is more interesting to me.

What in god's name are you talking about KayJay?

He runs a job board and google posted a job.

What's the scandal?

Give it to me slowly because you usually talk in Simon Lucy-esque loopy idiocy.

How many copies of MS Office do you think Google owns?

Bleh! No scandal. It just feels odd.

OK. Carry on then.
