Mike Arrington from TechCrunch gave us all a sneak preview of the full page ad that is going to run tomorrow in the San Jose Mercury News.
In the interest of defeating this discriminatory excuse of a Proposition, I’m going to run it too:
I am incredibly proud to live and work in an area [...]
Thank you to John Battelle for finding this here.
Well, it looks like Brinker is dead. Or at least in a deep seated coma.
From Shaw Valenza:

So Mervyns California is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy and plans to close its stores after the 2008 holiday season. In shutting down its operations, it seems that employee pay is very low on Mervyns’ list of debtors.
Per this memo that was sent to Andrew Ross of the San Francisco Chronicle, the bankruptcy court ordered [...]

First off, I apologize for the week of silence. I was on vacation and then just this week, I started a new position as the HR Director with a really fantastic company. I’ve been getting into my new routine and I’m really looking forward to the challenges that this position will bring. [...]
