Oh, joy. This comment attached to the HuffPo post sums up my view of this one:

My concern with NYT hiring Kristol is not that he’s neo-conservative or whatever, but that he’s almost always wrong. Seriously, can anyone on HuffPo name a major columnist/commentator who over the last 6 years has been wrong more times on major issues than Bill Kristol?

No, I can’t. Can you?

Saw this over at Kareem’s place: The New York Times is looking for a Creative Technologist. Kareem’s right: this sounds like an awesome position.

The New York Times Company’s new Research and Development unit is looking for a unique individual to serve as a Creative Technologist. S/he will be highly creative and have the hands-on ability develop Internet software applications that integrate with consumer devices. We are looking for someone with an innate curiosity and a passion for innovation; someone who is filled with inventive new ideas, and who has the ability single-handedly to render these ideas into working models. The ideal candidate will also have the ability to communicate complex technological concepts into plain language for non-technical people.

Hey, that’s me! Considering my resume says, “I am a technologist at heart,” well…. if ESPN.com would just create this position, I’d be right there… though my new gig is pretty good.
