Well not me. But those looking to hire qualified professionals in the Knoxville area have a new place to look: Knoxify.com.

The boys over at Knoxify are always doing good around the Knoxville community and their latest feature is no exception.

Knoxville was hit hard last week with a series of layoffs at several large, local employers. “Hire Me” is their way to fight back.

“The ‘Hire Me’ series is the least we can do to help those who have lost jobs in Knoxville.”

Simply send them your resume, which they’ll review and post on Knoxify along with resumes. The first one is already up.

I can’t think of a better way to help everyone who lost their jobs last week!

I’ve been lucky enough to kick off 2009 with a new laptop (and therefore, hopefully more blogging) and a new BlackBerry.

It’s so weird to be able to check Facebook, knoxnews or Twitter from my phone. Prior to this, I had no data plan and used my third version of a 3-year-old phone, after losing and damaging two others in 2008. Needless to say, I’m that person that needs to insure things.

And my previous laptop was going on 6 years old. I’m not hard on computers at all, but after 5 years, it was time.

So what have I learned/enjoyed/hated/endured most with this technical 360 in my life? My hands hurt. Bad! It can’t already be the sign of BlackBerry over-use after one week, can it?
