I am extremely happy to report that I have been offered a job with ANG Newspapers in Oakland as a “Web Producer!” I start on Monday.

The downsides are that it’s an entry-level job, so it’s not going to involve getting to the full-on design and programming stuff that I’m used to (and enjoy), and that it features correspondingly entry-level pay.

The upsides, however, are plentiful: There’s room for growth (a higher position more suited to my experience should be opening up in January or February); there are medical and dental benefits; they have a 401(k) plan and subsidize a portion of their employees’ public transportation costs; and, most importantly, the people that I’m going to be working with strike me as a really great group of folks.

I’m really, really looking forward to this!

Going to an interview (finally!) in a couple of minutes. Wish me luck.

Posted a graphically-enhanced version of my resume here at the Soul Cookie.

Getting my portfolio moved and updated is the next order of business.
