From the website - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/ ... "At Mozilla, we believe that your online identity should belong exclusively to you. With that in mind, we created Persona to improve the way you sign in to websites."

What I would like to know is... who is using Persona, and if you aren't using it - why? It seems like the smoothest least disruptive login/authorization service I've seen so far. If you don't know what Persona is, I suggest you check out the website. It just takes a few lines of code and markup to add Persona to your website. So why isn't this gaining more traction? It makes more sense than Github, FB, Google, Twitter, etc... auth offerings. Your thoughts?

So basically I've been doing some combination of contracting and consulting work for short to mid-length contracts for the past 10 years or so. Anyways, I've made a decent living so far going this route. But there have been some ups and downs. So now I'm thinking I want to go the route of a salaried job and have been kind of exploring the job market in the area. I'm 30 y/o now, am married, and have 2 kids (7 and 9). And, am starting to value the idea of financial stability afforded by a salaried position. So I'm seriously ready to take the plunge.<p>I have an Associates in IT with a local community college affiliated w/ the University of KY and ~11 years of professional experience doing web design/ development as well as complex data intensive web applications/services and windows software for various .gov/.mil, state and city. As you can imagine, most of the web design projects were smaller and done solo while the larger projects I was part of a team.<p>Aside from the standard HTML/CSS/Javascript combined with a bit of Photoshop skill. I do a lot of development in ASP.NET/C# w/ SQL Server or Oracle database on the backside. A lot of Entity Framework and bit of Silverlight too. I consider myself a pretty decent programmer these days. I'm really looking for advice on how best to craft my resume. Besides the .docx I threw up http:/michaelkelley.me and a little more adventurous http://michaelkelley.me/resume<p>Advice on honing my resume and presentation for landing a decent job in the ~60-75K/year w/ benefits and whether I should bother with any kind of website resume<p>SO yeah... this turned into a pretty long-winded AskHN but please any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm still churning around some ideas for a great startup and I plan on saving some money up through this job to work towards that goal! Hopefully I can turn this process into a nice blog post after I land a position and let everyone know how it went.

My wife is a stay at home Mom and is bored - unfortunately she doesn't have the best formal education credentials but she is far from stupid. However this does heavily impact her ability to get a job that pays much more than minimum wage, usually labor intensive. She has a herniated bulging disc in her lower back, so I'd prefer her not do a lot of manual labor all day. I wanted to hear from you guys what sort of entrepreneurial endeavors she might embark on with my programming/web expertise and a little bit of cash backing her. The catch is, she needs to be able to do it from home. She doesn't need to get rich - even earning ~$1000/mo would be acceptable as long as the man(woman) hours to money earned ratio is reasonable. Ideas?
