I have an idea. You put an advertisement in your sig trying to get me a job. With all the posting you do it is sure to reach someone in a Bay Area management position. Then once I get hired I'll try to talk them into sponsoring you.

To an optimist the glass is half full.
To a pessimist the glass is half empty.
To a programmer the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
