Why would it be for free, Erin? They apparently have paid staff writers.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Ginger, you are a goddess! Thank you!
Why on earth couldn't I find that?

Thoughts, oh Tech Savvy Buffistas?
I don't visit it.
It appears to occasionally be linked from HackerNews, but those links don't get much attention, which seems bad to me.
Who's attention do you hope to get with the article? IT is a very broad term.

Yeah, I've never heard of it, Erin.

Well, this is the series, and I'd be getting exposure. They have staff writers, and I'd be the professional the staff writer would be highlighting, a la [link]
So it wouldn't be "Lalala, someone gets a free resume makeover," it'd be "Why Getting a Pro to do Your IT Resume is a Good Idea, and here's EG to show you why and how they do it."

Erin, it sounds like you've already pretty much made up your mind.
Although I would ask for active subscriber numbers before sinking in all of that time. It looks like this type of article is premium content, and requires someone to sign up with their email address. Many people are too lazy to do so if it's not something directly related to their business/interests. I know the last thing I want is more stuff hitting my inbox.
Edit: And no I haven't forgotten about what I promised you. Trying to get it done this week.

Good point, Maria. I'll ask about that.
And yes, if their deadlines mesh with my vaca and my other projects, I think I'll do it. It would be a good clip for my site/resume.
And Maria, I know you're overwhelmed. Whenever, my dear.

Argh technology. I finished up housecleaning and flopped down to watch a little tv while the floors dried, and the receiver gave out. It was free, so. But anyway, previously, the hd recorder, the dvd recorder, and the dvd player gave out. Oh, and the amp in the other room for the rest of the house speakers.
Now for tonight, I can rig up my desk speakers for the tv, although it will require some crawling around and obviously isn't as awesome as 5.1 surround sound. However, for the long run I need to replace all those items, and it has occured to me it may be one item.
So. 7.1 A/V receiver with built in blu-ray player, either with hd space or network capability. That would get me what I need, right? I have a budget of about $300, if I give up on my compund bow/kayak. Lowest I found at first glance was around $500 so I'll have to look for refurbs I think.
