Okay, columnist is a strong word - more like “blogger” - but however you want to put it down on your resume is okay with me. Recently, we have been inundated with requests for more good content.

To apply, simple leave a comment here with the following:

Oh, and as is the case with any job - I will not give you any hint about what you will be paid until after you pass through a strenuous interview process and I extend you an offer.

You will only be expected to post new things in your column when you feel like it. You will feel like it once a week.
