Assimilated by Metaweb

I'm starting a new job on Wednesday at Metaweb. I'll be working on the data team building tools and applications that help make the data in Freebase better. This is a new problem space for me, which is one reason I'm excited; another is the sheer amount of ambition that these people have. They are talking about organizing and structuring all of the world's knowledge. I can't even begin to imagine what that really means, but they seem to have convinced some rich guys they can do it. So now I'll have to learn Python, and I'll have to work in an office again, but I guess I can use these changes of pace and scene. After working mostly at home for three years, I was starting to have conversations with the walls.
