      <title>Want to move to Portland?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;While at &lt;a href="http://www.ajaxworldexpo.com/"&gt;AjaxWorld&lt;/a&gt;, several people asked me about our team, processes, and if we had any job openings. The answer to that is&amp;#8230; &amp;#8220;yes!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;re always looking for more developers. There is one catch though&amp;#8230; we want you to be located in Portland, Oregon. Many people have responded to our ads as remote contractors, but what we&amp;#8217;re &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; after is great people to join our team here in Portland.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#8217;re interested in joining our team, send a thoughtful cover letter and your resume (plain text&amp;#8230; no word docs) to jobs@planetargon.com.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update&lt;/strong&gt;
Since a few people emailed to ask more about &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland%2C_Oregon"&gt;Portland&lt;/a&gt;... here are some interesting facts and links. :-)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Portland is home to more breweries than any other city in the world. &lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Portlanders"&gt;Cool people live here&lt;/a&gt; (Sally Struthers! hah)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vegportland.com/"&gt;Best Vegetarian City&lt;/a&gt; !&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.portlandground.com/"&gt;picture blog of portland&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;New York City gets &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; rain annually than Portland (and Seattle)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Snowboarding is 45 minutes away&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;OSCON&lt;/span&gt; is hosted here&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;RailsConf 2007 will be in Portland!&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
