JOB OPENINGS!!
In the new year, we have several openings for full-time regular tech jobs at BlackBook — to start, we need a systems engineer, a lead developer/architect, and a web producer (the latter will be trained up by others during a massive site redesign). The jobs are in New York. Obviously there are many particulars but if you think you might be suited for such, email me at cmohney@bbook.com.

Lately, my habit has gotten worse and so- I’ve been searching for a way to temporarily block these sites from my browser.
