As the song goes:
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy
I might be drunk, but at least I’m not insane!

Ruby Job Fair in Toronto Tonight!
Don’t forget: the Ruby Job Fair takes place tonight at Unspace headquarters (342 Queen Street West; it’s the door just to the right of Lululemon)! If you’re looking for work that involves Ruby programming or if you’re an employer looking for Ruby developers, you’ll want to be at this event, which is more cocktail social than career fair. Yes, there will be a bar.
The event takes place from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.. DO NOT show up early! They’ll either be wrapping up the day’s work (remember, Unspace is a development shop) or prepping for the event. If you plan to show up fashionably late, please note that the employers are doing their three-minute “soapbox” spiels starting at 6:30.
There’s a small registration fee to help cover the costs of holding this event: it’s $5 for people looking for a job; $15 for employers looking for Ruby developers. You’ll get a lot of bang for your buck at this event. Click here to register for the event, and do it before the tickets run out!
If you’re looking for Ruby work at one of the most successful startups around, you might want to consider Shopify. I’ll be there tonight as Shopify’s representative – find me (I’ll be the guy with the accordion) and we’ll talk.
If you’re looking to find out more about Ruby Job Fair, check out the Ruby Job Fair site as well as my earlier article on the Fair.

The Breakfast of Champions
“In Soviet Russia, zone friends you!”
There is something worse than “I want to just be friends.” It’s “I want to go back to being waitress and customer,” and you’ll find it in this story.
Ah, the Toronto Sun. I’ve seen better paper after wiping my ass. Once upon a time, it served a purpose; there was the SUNshine girl, Bloom County and countless ads for electronics. It’s the only paper here that sasses back at letters to the editor. These days, we can do all that and even better on the internet.
This graphic nicely captures the Sun’s true nature: a “human centipede” (here’s the Wikipedia entry, but be warned; it’s a really gross movie) of news, mindlessly and slavishly loyal to Rob Ford, mayor and general embarrassment of Toronto. Toronto people, share this one around widely!
Thanks to Chris Charabaruk for finding this for me!
Representative Maureen Walsh, a Republican, was one of only two from her party to vote in favour of marriage equality. In the video above, she gives her statement on the state’s marriage equality bill, ESSB 6239, and it’s wonderful, funny, touching and at times heartbreaking.
I suppose you could call God Bless America an updated, liberal remake of Falling Down. The trailer’s pretty intriguing, and I laughed out loud in several spots. And hey, Bobcat Goldthwait! I just might have to see this.
