Of Interviews and Start-ups

Last night I had dinner with Kim, Hilary and Seth at some mexican place. It was tasty.

My interview this morning went well. Spent a healthy portion of the time talking football (which is good). Turns out the Judge had a run-in with Bear Bryant back in the day, so that was an interesting story. The Judge said it could be 6-8 weeks, but not to worry too much — if I haven’t heard from them, they haven’t selected a clerk. His secretary and current clerk assured me that it wouldn’t be six weeks. Over all, everybody was great and it seems like it’d be a fantastic place to work. I should have some clue what’s going on by March-ish if not earlier. That all said, if they offer me the clerkship, I’ll take it in a heartbeat.

In other news, I was looking at my referrers and I saw an interesting link from something called “Bloomington Startup Weekend“. They posted links to a lot of local bloggers in hopes that we would see the link and then do some advertising for them. They really screwed it up, though, because that page says absolutely nothing about what “Bloomington Startup Weekend” is. You have to click several links, and most of those assume you know what on earth a ’startup weekend’ is. I get the impression that the goal is for a bunch of folks to come together in one weekend to start a business… or something. Didn’t feel like doing an hour’s worth of research to do someone else’s marketing for them.

Maybe they’ll put out something that explains what the heck it is. Either way, I guess they accomplished their goal as they got a link back. Maybe next time they’ll do a little bit more with the “who”, “what”, and “why” questions in addition to the “when” and “where”.

I’ll be flying back into Indy this evening… catch you all later.
