Job location: West of Sudbury. There's a WEST of Sudbury? #thingsthatturnmeoffyourjobposting #antagonizingmanitoba

@cnvandev I'm enjoying your #thingsthatturnmeoffyourjobposting tweets. Re: the tweet before those, did you apply to Kik?

@mccalum: I wish I did! I only got to meet you guys after the first posting, and I don't see any Kik jobs the second round :(

@cnvandev A similar thing happened to me. I'll ask about it tomorrow :-)

@eaboyeji Ha. A fair comment. I'll figure it out though. I'm developing a massive interest in neuroplasticity, which I think may flourish

@aiclass @ml_class True enough, although a certificate is hardly a degree. Is there a give demand for graduates in AI as well?

@mccalum @amazon very cool, so whats the plan, get them and everyone meet quarterly for reviews on goals? Its interesting.

@Mattylantz Not exactly sure, but quarterly is probably too infrequent. I think it's a 12-week program... so maybe biweekly?

@mccalum we are excited to start designing an api that might help with that.

@ifttt Awesome. I think that's when it will become really powerful - when you can tap anything in. Man, and with an Arduino...

@ifttt I mean, some Arduino stuff could already be done via email, twitter, etc, especially given multiple accounts per channel

@mccalum Hey, you thinking of messing around with Arduino and @ifttt or have you already tried?

@CMoz Just thinking of it. Any ideas? I haven't even bought an Arduino yet :-P @ifttt

@mccalum Ahh ok cool, I've only just discovered @ifttt and the idea of mixing the two is fantastic. Go buy Arduino now! :D

@CMoz I would totally just "go" buy Arduino if there were a place nearby I could "go" to do so. I don't tend to buy impulsively online...

@CMoz I think it's the shipping. It's harder to get excited about buying something when I'm not walking away with it right then.

@mccalum That just means you need to order more stuff online to get rid of that feeling :)

@CMoz Well, I'm planning to order amazon.com/Pick-Four-Pack… this week for myself and some friends. Do you have any suggestions?

@mccalum Wow that's cool - though I noticed you said "planning to...". Order them, then write in it: Order Arduino Starter Kit :D

@CMoz *sigh* Yes, planning. Like I said, I have trouble making impulse internet purchases. This is also waiting to hear from friends tho...
