TechWag » Podango hits the dead pool
I’m really sad to see Podango go. I had a chance to review their biz plan and hear them pitch on a few occasions. I think they were moving on the right direction. When the current climate shifted they were in the middle of raising their first round (I think) and weren’t able to switch gears fast enough when they weren’t able to raise money. It sounds like they haven’t completely given up and I hope they’re able to come back with something.

Sure, Change Jobs! – Another guy named Mike
This post brought up several things I’ve been thinking about. I think that telle-working and remote connectivity have turned us into 18 hr a day work-a-holics. I think whether your a programmer or any professional knowledge worker we’re all at risk of burnout and we have to know how to deal with it. Lastly that while this guy didn’t join the Marines during the recession that we’re in, I’ve noticed a lot more recruiting and advertising efforts by the military lately, they have to realize that this is a peak time to recruit.
