Blogs are a terrific medium for several things.  Product information, technical guidance, listening to rants and musings and many more than I can list.  Add "finding a great gig" to the list [if it wasn't already there].  Here's the story;

Back in May, Heather sent me an e-mail forwarding Kent Foster's resume which he had gotten to her via her blog.  Well as it turns out there was an opening on my team, we brought Kent in for a round of interviews and he’ll be joining us in September!  I’m excited to welcome Kent to the team but I’m even MORE excited about the blog path that he took to get here.  Welcome to the team Kent! :)
