I’ve always had bad luck with older cars when I was younger. Either they were running for like 1 day or got smashed after the first week. Those tragic incidents taught me one thing. Always have AAA! My first 63 Lincoln blew up causing me to sell it off as a parts car then my 1959 Chevy Bel Air (she was a beaut…with those killer cat eyes rear lights) got smashed which ended up being donated to an animal rights charity. Anyhoo, the vintage car bug got me again this weekend so I picked up another 63 Lincoln continental. Hopefully this time everything will be okay since I made it a point to sign up for AAA before buying the car. The decision was tough, it was either the 63 Lincoln or a 60 Cadillac. Ultimately the Lincoln won my heart (love the suicide doors). Can’t wait for the project to begin. Its gonna be a long, hopefully fun adventure.

Want to work at the 2009 Always On OnMedia “Company of the Year”? Want to work at a place that goes above and beyond token benefits like health, dental, vision insurance, and 401K plans, and throws in perks like generous stock option packages, free gym memberships, free lunch and dinner, healthy snacks and free parties? Parties as a benefit? Yeah, not bad.

The Rubicon Project was founded by a group of people who realize you’re only as good as your team. So, it’s important to us to keep our team happy.

We are currently seeking recent college grads looking for entry level positions to join our Yield Management team. No industry experience required - we are just looking for people who are as motivated as can be, who are excited about working at a fast-paced start up, who love getting stuff done (early!) and who are passionate about the Internet (or at least don’t call it the “facebook machine”.) Oh, yeah, and we need you to start yesterday.

The Ad Network team is also looking to hire a Sales Coordinator to join the LA team immediately. They’re looking for someone with the following qualities:

1. Analytical… solid math mind
2. Lots of energy and hustle
3. Desire to learn and succeed
4. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal… person will be working with all teams internally, and joining calls with external network partners
5. Interested in learning online advertising
6. Motivated to work in a fast-paced, fun environment

Existing online experience is a plus … experience as a sales coordinator is a big plus… but neither are a requirement. Person will have the ability to eventually move into a client facing role, based on performance.

So lately I’ve been pretty obsessed with the content on current.com. I am able to watch some of the most interesting stories being told through media without commercials! I suggest setting the search filter option to only return videos if you’re like me and want to get to the goods quick status. They also have a channel on TV but I prefer the online version since I have access to everything I want to see quickly.

Here are some of the more interesting stories I watched this week modern day pirates, prison power plays, getting out of prison, Beijing skinheads and robot nation. This is media that you want when you want it. Love it!
