Weirdest thing. I was going through my broken links with the broken link checker plugin I use for Wordpress this evening and I came across a broken link entitled, “Air America.” I was like, “WHHAAAAAT???”
I clicked on the link and was brought to a 404 error page with this text as the first paragraph:
“It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.”
Okay, I’ll admit that I haven’t listened to Air America in about a year, but still, they had some good programs. I enjoyed Rachel Maddow and Ron Reagan.
While I do have some hurt feelings about this closure, I am a bit disappointed in the management. In typical media style, this is how the third paragraph from the bottom was worded:
“So we intend a rapid, orderly closure over the next few days. All current employees will be paid through today, January 21. A severance package will be offered tomorrow to full-time current employees with more than six months of tenure.”
I am wondering if this is how the employees were informed that they no longer had jobs.

For all my friends, this one’s for you.
If you are like me, you have a number of websites or blogs that you check daily, just to see what’s going on. I have a few blogs written by friends and then a few blog/websites put together by communities. These communities are quite entertaining, let me tell ya.
Let’s talk about the sites not put up by friends. Right now, I visit three of them a few times a week. I would say that more often than not, I laugh out loud. Am I allowed to say that, or do I have to write LOL? I am not a LOL writing type of guy and I serious mean that I laugh so people can hear it. Anyway, these websites are pretty damn hilarious.
Last week, I planned to list all three of them here in a post. Then, as I was visiting them to see what was new, two of them had some hilariously offensive material right there on the first page. Now, while I might LOL at this, many of my reader might not (I know that they are secretly LOLing, but I’ll still get yelled at). I am sure you are all aware of my strict policy of non-offensiveness.
That leaves one website. It’s called “Emails From Crazy People.”
Now, I want you to know that at the time of me posting this link, there is nothing offensive on the first page. That’s all I checked. So, if things get interesting, it’s not my fault.
You have to check out this site. I guess the people who created it have some source for getting emails written by whack jobs. Strangely enough, I have actually received a few of these types of letters in my day. People think they can pretty much say anything through email. It’s like driving. Same thing. That’s where road rage comes from.
Check out the site and let me know what you think. I want some comments by tomorrow morning. If you’re good, I’ll drop some hints about the other two sites. After you check them out, you’ll be LOLing on the floor.

If you’re looking for new employment, the Internet is an easy way to find it. Many employers have started using the Internet to find interested and qualified workers for their business.
Finding Employment Online
In tough financial times, finding employment can be like searching for the North Star on a cloudy night. Few open positions are listed in your local newspaper’s classified ads. While this is partially caused by a lack of new jobs, it is also caused by a shift in advertising mediums. Newspapers are a dying breed, and many companies have turned to newer methods of connecting with potential employees.
If you’re looking for new employment, the Internet is an easy way to find it. Many employers have started using the Internet to find interested and qualified workers for their business. This eliminates the hassle of filling out applications in the office and submitting resumes in person. By searching Internet classified ads, you can find the right job for you and continue your career today.
Many sites exist that offer job listings for every field imaginable. Some sites are pay-per-post, while others are completely free. The advances in online communication over the last decade have made it simple for businesses to connect with potential employees. Just go to your favorite search engine and enter the occupation that you’re looking for and you’re sure to find many matches.
If you’re not sure what type of employment you’re seeking, Internet classifieds offer a wide variety of open positions. Jobs from auto sales to plumbing positions are constantly opening. All you need to do is find the proper listing and strike when the iron is hot. You can start your journey down a new career path with a few clicks. Enter all the pertinent information from the comfort of your home office, instead of applying during office hours. This is especially handy if you are currently employed, but seeking something else. Your boss won’t know you’re looking elsewhere, so you won’t jeopardize your current job while you’re on the prowl for new employment.
Many listings offer home employment. While this sounds like a dream come true to some, be careful when applying to work at home positions. There are a lot of scams, so do some homework to make sure the business you’re applying to is reputable. Freelance writing is a great way to make some cash from home, but envelope stuffing is certainly a fraud. Look for testimonials from satisfied employees, and find examples of other reputable businesses in the same industry.
There are new listings appearing all the time on Internet classified websites. You will benefit from the paradigm shift to a technological society if you have the right skills. If you’re qualified to work on computers, employers are waiting to hear from you. If you specialize in the latest operating systems technology, you’ll have no trouble finding employment online. Keep your skills current and your resume updated, and you’re sure to find a great career opportunity that is perfect for you listed online.
Whether you’re a tech-head or not, online employment listings are a great way to continue your current career path or start a new one. It’s all up to you. Once you figure out what you’re looking for, get your resume ready and start emailing it to your prospective employers. Internet classifieds are the new way for the unemployed or under-employed to connect with great new job opportunities.
