My LAN or yours? *wink*wink*

Lately we've be reading how Silicon Valley has been inundated with resumes by those looking for work but jobs aren't the only thing they are seeking. Mmmm...lots of average looking white guys who describe themselves as 'intelligent and easy going' then descend into:

"Qualities I look for in a woman: She is intelligent, perceptive, creative and irreverent...Yet hers is a radiant heart, a luminous soul, a diaphanous spirit able to inspire a Scrooge to song. I would find her at an opera one evening, adorned in an elegant gown. And the next, unafraid to be caught watching a cheesy film and eating chocolate ice-cream out of the box. I would find her snooping around small towns and ever smaller museums with the unvarnished curiosity of a small child. She would find today s values distasteful, would choose wisdom over expediency, substance over fashion. Family would come before friends. Friends before work. I would find her tapping her foot at a jazz concert, crying at old movies, laughing wildly at a comedy club, kneeling down to help a child tie his shoe. She would find joy in a good conversation, mastering a new waltz step at a Victorian Ball, reading sub-titles at art-house films, learning where Orion is. Hers would be a wry sense of humor, an appreciation for the absurd and finding the comedy in everyday life. Her sense of spontaneity, which when combined with sinister glance and a sly smile, would hint of future mischief planned to make my day more interesting and different from all of the others. She would walk in beauty like the night and whisper to the sky. Hers would be a goal to lift others up before herself and views relationship as a chance to grow and help grow. And most of all, she would enjoy the company of a tall, mildly eccentric software entrepreneur who's not that bad look'n when you dress him up right and turn the lights low and...oh heck, if you're female and you're breathing"

At least Mike S., a 45 year old software engineer who vaguely reminds me of Nick Ing-Simmons, brought his lofty goals back to grim reality in a jiffy. :) The others weren't so smart and reminded me of a PM/LinuxUSERs meeting in some ways; some made me laugh and some left me with this vaguely creepy feeling of geek guys who stopped mentally maturing at age 9. I wonder if reviving the "Men of Perl" Calendar idea and even having the menofperl.org domain for swinging single perl guys could generate enough revenue to help out the foundation.....hey, photoshop can do wonders.
