Macromedia wants to hire you.  Send me your résumé.  Actually, if any of our jobs look good to you, send me your résumé and let me know which job it's for.  `Cause i could use the bonus, eh?

For one thing,

> The ideal candidate has a keen interest in the mobile devices industry (including cell phones, WAP, and related technologies) and the ability to keep up with the fast pace of technical innovation in the mobile space.

I don't even OWN a cell phone, nor want one, nor understand why 50%+ of the people who own them want them.

As for Flash and other Macromedia products, it's not that I don't have at least a mild interest, but my primary role in my current department is writing and maintaining paper training workbooks; I'm not even much of a PowerPoint Ranger. There are people in my department who create multimedia training CDs, and I know that they use some Macromedia products, but they've had me too busy doing the paper stuff to be trained beyond the bare basics of that.

Plus, I can't complain about the paycheck where I'm at. Gigs on the west coast would have to be throwing large truckloads of money in my direction to get me to consider uprooting and moving away from my lifelong east coast entrenchment.

I felt the same way about cellphones. Then i got one for work. It's really handy. I still don't understand people who desire to speak on one for more than 3 minutes; it's annoying as hell and the phone gets pretty damn warm.
