Hi Charles,
	The company I work for, Streamsage, has openings for Junior  
Developers, and I was given the task of seeking candidates from  
Swarthmore. I've included the job description below. Could you post  
this to your jobs list, as well as anywhere else you think it would  
get attention from seniors. Streamsage, as you may know, was founded  
by three Swatties in 2000, and in my opinion is a great place to work.

Thanks,
Jonathan Winskill '02
