10 Best Places for Technology Jobs in 2009
The U.S. News & World Report’s "The 10 Best Places for Tech Jobs" factors in the following criteria for making the list: number of opportunities relative to education, geography of job openings in a broad range of tech-specific job categories, supply and demand ratios, salary, and cost of living. Now there are some nontraditional places for technology work.
Atlanta
This competitive-salary city for tech ranked "high in volume of tech job openings in early September and had an above-average ratio of tech openings to employees for many IT occupations, including computer programmer, software engineer and systems analyst."
Boston
MIT, Harvard and 72 other colleges and universities in New England make Beantown a must-be place for technology workers of all stripes. "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that programmers and software applications engineers in nearby Lowell, Mass., rank among the highest paid in all U.S. metro areas."
Houston
NASA: We don't have a problem. Well, there was that whole Enron debacle back in the day, but now, Houston has gotten over that and is home to many IT companies that cater to the specific technology needs of the energy sector. As the report surmises, "Houston ranks high for total tech job postings and has above-average ratios for tech job postings to employment in multiple occupations." Energy is needed in all times, recession or not, and tech is there to help.
Huntsville, Ala.
Houston isn't the only city that has a NASA and aerospace presence. Huntsville, Ala., boasts a large research park, Cummings Research Park, and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. "More than 300 companies in the area are focused on designing and producing electronics and computer-related technology, according to the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County."
New York
Big city means big opportunities, but not only in financial services IT. Health care IT is expected to rise in the Big Apple. "A new report from the Center for an Urban Future finds that New York's roster of health care providers, plus its flank of health technology companies, could make the city an ideal spot to capture health-IT dollars."
Phoenix
Between Arizona State University, domain-registrar GoDaddy and a host of large offices from Microsoft, Oracle and smaller companies, Phoenix claims more than "4,200 high-tech companies and 81,000 jobs." According to the report, Phoenix "ranks high in overall tech job openings and in the ratios of job openings to employment for several IT jobs."
San Diego
Historically known for a large military presence with the Navy and Marines, San Diego is a big college town and research in technology is big business here. San Diego is home to many startups and venture-capital-backed companies. As the article points out, salaries in San Diego are high: "San Diego also ranks fourth for tech salary pay, according to Glassdoor data, above the more expensive cities of Washington, New York and Boston."
San Francisco
It's the closest to Silicon Valley, so no surprise here, though the Valley has been hit hard by the recession, especially in chip manufacturing. The San Francisco metropolitan area is faring better with software development and smaller startups. It's poised to return from the recession with its proximity to the big players of technology including Google, Oracle and Apple.
Seattle
It's not all about Microsoft, with more than 700 tech companies and groups. "Seattle had among the highest demand ratios for computer software application engineers relative to supply. This city's tech employees rank third highest in average pay, higher than considerably more expensive cities such as New York and Washington."
Washington, D.C.
This recession is spurring some expansion of federal programs aimed at improving the country's infrastructure, green energy and security—all requiring a large presence of technology workers. More than 11,000 technology jobs are expected to be filled in D.C. by 2012.

It's for the other side
Labels: jokesOne day, Jacinto and Raul were trying to build a house. Jacinto was building one side and Raul was building the other side. Jacinto was looking for a nail but kept throwing them away, one by one.
"why are you throwing those nails away, Jacinto?" Raul asked.
"They're facing the wrong direction," Jacinto answered.
"Don't!" Raul said, "Don't you know those are for the other side of the house."

Where did I come from?
Labels: jokesThis post is for all the moms out there. :D
Johnny, 7 years old, comes to his mother and says, "Where did I come from?"
The mother gulps and asks, "What did you say?"
Johnny repeats "Where did I come from?"
The mother is ready this time. "Well, it's about time you ask that question. Dad and I have been thinking you would. You see, Johnny, your Dad and Mom love each other a lot. Because of that, we sometimes lie close to each other and something called sperm passed between Daddy and Mommy. It happened about 8 years ago and you were conceived. You started to grow in Mommy's tummy and Mommy's tummy get bigger every month.
I went to see Dr. Brown. He checked my tummy every month to make sure you were growing okay. My tummy got bigger and bigger for 9 months. And then I went to the hospital. Daddy and Dr. Brown were there. Johnny, you know where you came from? You came out of Mommy's tummy, that's where you came from!"
Johnny's face was one of great puzzlement. "Wow!", he said. "That's the most incredible story I've ever heard. Frank, my friend, comes from Boston and I was just wondering where I came from!".
