Click the image below to get treated to the best mash-up of a bunch of pop culture concepts: Nintendo’s Duck Hunt cartridge (click here for a faithful Flash reproduction), the Dick Cheney hunting accident and Aerosmith’s song, Janie’s Got a Gun.
Here’s hoping that your love station was fully operational!
The Tucows Job Fair that I mentioned last week takes place at No Regrets restaurant (42 Mowat Street) between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. today and tomorrow.
Between departures and the growth of our business, we need people. If you’re looking for any of the jobs below, you might want to come to the job fair. We’re looking for:

Here’s a great photo that Ross took while walking about San Francisco on Sunday afternoon. For those of you not familiar with the city, it’s of the Transamerica Pyramid — probably the most recognizable piece of local architecture after the Golden Gate Bridge — as seen from Coit Tower.
Back when I was an indie consultant writing custom software for clients, I used to use the expression “launch the pig!” to refer to finishing the process of writing the software and giving it to the customer. I just found some photos that cover a literal pig launch:

I have no idea when these photos were taken or who took them (I found them on an obscure private file-sharing site), but they depict the launching of a pig.

These photos are part of a series which you can see either clicking on any of the photos or clicking here.

I’ve set this post to appear
right about the time our plane takes off for San Francisco. For those
of you who’ll be in the San Francisco area tonight, Boss Ross, my wife Wendy and I will be
holding a dinner meetup at 21st Amendment (563
2nd Street) at 7 p.m.. It’s an open invitation to come hang
out with us — anyone can come!
February is “Strong
Beer Month” at 21st Amendment, where they’ll be featuring these beers,
all of which boast 8.5% alcohol by volume or
more:
Tripel
I.P.A.
Ale
Wine
Stout
Yes, we know that it’s probably insane to
schedule such a gathering timed for right about when the Superbowl will
end, but it was the only day we could hold it. We hope you can make it
there!
On Monday and Tuesday, Ross and I will be at
the Evans Data
Corporation’s Developer Relations Conference, where we’ll be
learning the tricks of the trade of evangelizing to developers. This
will be only the second year that this conference has been held, and it
promises to be interesting. I’ll be taking copious notes and blogging
the event — watch this space for details.
