Two Jobs in San Mateo

Folks,

There's two positions available at the startup where I work. It's the good
kind of startup; friendly and informal where results count for more than
position. I certainly like it.

Contact me if you're interested in either; these jobs can also be found
through O'Reilly Connection.
