I wanted to let you know that there's now an open UI position here in our Palo Alto office.  This will be a 6mo contract, see description below.  If you have any friends in the bay area, feel free to forward them the description and my info.  

I'm the current UI designer at A9.com and can say that we've got an excellent team and some really fun projects going on.  The job is basically to divide and conquer the projects here and work in collaboration with the various teams and myself.  I'm more than glad to talk about it, thanks!
