Automattic Is Hiring a Designer

As a designer at Automattic, you’re responsible for making sure the amazing things our engineers can create are both easy to use and easy on the eyes. Rather than churning out design after design for a multitude of clients, you’ll focus intensely on every aspect of the design of a product — from the way we advertise and market the service to the smallest details of its user interface. You’re designing for the web, yes, but you’re doing so with an old-school dedication to simplicity and clarity.

UnPresenting workshop

From Nick’s blog:

Today I attended an UnPresenting workshop because I’d like to get comfortable in front of a crowd so I can be a speaker at WordCamps.

From Heather Gold‘s site:

Heather Gold is the love child of Sarah Silverman and Rachel Maddow and tours North America as a comedian, speaker, and solo performer.

This all sounds great to me. Going to have to look this up when in San Francisco. Although I do have easy access to advice from great speakers like Matt and Scott if I want to through Automattic, such a workshop is sure to facilitate things.
