Pretty much just got the offer of a lifetime - working at the University of Michigan Library bridging the brand new world of Sakai and course management systems with the world of information the library has access to.
Getting to live in Ann Arbor close to friends, family and whole bunch of cool places. Working with some really cool, smart people. Gaining experience in information and library sciences to be able to develop a vision for the future in graduate studies in information and library sciences.
What a deal.

I applied for this job that I think is pretty much the sweetest thing. It involves using the Sakai Framework (a community-source (pretty much open-source for a special community: higher education) tools and services aggregation framework for online collaboration and learning environments) to build Web Services for all major UM Library technology services such as citation linkers and so on.

In writing the cover letter for this job, I had a couple of things going through my head:

It's pretty much the coolest thing to get together with a seemingly infinite number of friends from all over the world to work on a project and then offer your work to absolutely anyone in the world for absolutely free.

I am a person who cares about people, knowledge, learning and individuality (art and creativity). I realized the skills I have to incorporate these passions into my life are varied but center around gathering, processing and presenting information and connecting diverse individuals to that information, making it real for them.
