I have a new job, or two!

Virsona, the Artificial Intelligence startup where I’ve been chief architecting for the past year, is going under. Some banks had promised us four more years of funding two years ago, but have since then realized that they don’t have any money. So Virsona stopped paying all employees after Halloween.

Yesterday, I was offered a job at Democracy in Action, a non-profit that builds tools for other non-profits, about 1 mile from my home. They’re epicurean, with a kegerator in the main room, but also a recent history of burning people out. The work might be too easy for me, but at least I’ll be helping.

But for the rest of November, I’m working for a friend from Olin on a fun project for the new Droid phone. It looks like I’m finally going to get a PDA.
