Now Hiring (Seriously)
Hey everyone, I don't get to post job listings here too often so it's a big deal, for me at least, when I do. But we are hiring someone to run our website out of our Chicago office. It's a technical position, not an editorial position, but the ideal candidate will be both technically skilled with strong editorial instincts. (Put it this way: If there are two candidate who are equally good at web stuff and one can name five movies for which Roger Deakins served as a cinematographer and the other can't, the movie nerd has the edge.) The listing is below. So is the e-mail address for applications. I'll try to pop in to answer some questions in the comments section later.
