Love erika's haircut.

I just exclaimed over it in Bitches. It's truly gorgeous.

Pictures! Woo-hoo! I will see all these people in person soon!

Hivemind question: anyone know anything about MobiTV? Are they in some way evil?

Dh got an contract offer from them and we're both reacting with "Dumptruck of money - what's the catch?" Though it might just be that we're looking at what would be a little red wagon full of money to Californians with Louisiana adjusted eyes.

hey, -t, when are you going to be around in the HS? We have that thing we need to give to Aimee/Emma.

What area? Ask buffistas for local cost of living. There are also web site for translating salary in one area into the cost of living in another - so you could find out what the money offered is in your local money. Umm also if this is a temp contract and you were perm before - temp has to be higher cause you pay your own benefits and have to save for periods of unemployment.

In terms of on-line cost of livng here is a site produced via random googling. I'd trust the hivemind over the following:

Perkins, I'll be there tomorrow, planning on getting there in the morning and hanging around more or less all day. Thanks for waiting for me, but if you get impatient you can deliver it tonight.

Sorry, TB, I was unclear. The current situation is we live in the Bay Area, with a California cost of living, but Henry works remotely - his company is in New Orleans and he gets a Louisiana salary. The company is in bankruptcy, so DH put out feelers for local jobs and got this offer. I know how the money side of it would impact us - it would be a big improvement. Which makes me suspicious. So I'm looking for scuttlebutt on MobiTV in case anyone here has worked for them or knows anyone who has worked for them who has gotten screwed, or anything like that.

MobiTV is pretty new so I don't know how easy it'd be to find out about their culture. As I recall from an article in the SFChron, it's an wealthy entrepreneur who started the thing. I'd be looking seriously at the idea and seeing whether you think the product will actually go anywhere or not, unless you don't mind going for the ride and just finding another job if the product doesn't take off.

MobiTV is right nearby in Emeryville.

Man, there really has to be a TV moratorium on "Hallelujah."

Thanks, Spidra, that helps.

-t, I won't be there until noonish, so I think we should give it to her together before they head to alcatraz.
