It’s not that easy these days to find talented people and our partner site Authentic Jobs has been helping in that area since 2005. Recently Dan Cederholm from Simplebits and Tina from Swissmiss and The Big Noob joined our little network too. All places that are visited by standards aware designers and developers and add value to the network.

So I left Austin and arrived in New York safely for the last days of our US trip. It has been a little weird compared to previous years because the weather wasn’t that great in Austin. Most of the days had wind, some rain and Cindy even saw a tornado!

My body seems to have recovered nicely from all late evening excitement (in my timezone that is) from playing the previously announced live Layer Tennis match. A good night sleep can work miracles :)

First of all welcome to 2008! I wish you all a magnificent and healthy year full of inspiration. Let us start the year with something that can come in handy if you are looking for a full time employee or a freelancer. My partner Authentic Jobs offers a great way to tap into a pool of talented people that are standards-aware Web professionals and companies.

It seems to be embedded in human nature to try to label things to identify it. Labeling itself is not bad, but I’m talking about making things sound more fancy or smart. It’s already hard enough to get everybody on the same line when using well known terms. It’s all subjective and everybody has a different vision or interpretation.
