Dude!
Moving back for a job?
Dude, "dude" is a close second to "awesome". If you ever get a chance to see "Basketball", a movie by the South Park guys, they have an entire scene composed entirely of the word "dude". It's awesome!
Yep, I actually left NLP entirely. It was never my forte anyway. I'm a linguist. I just never had the training to contribute significantly. I was doomed to being a bit player in other people's drama, so I took a job at a marketing firm (gasp!) in the San Francisco Bay Area (close to my hometown). I get to do real linguistics here and I'm pretty happy.
Funny thing though, I was talking to one of our business guys about the possibility of using sentiment analysis as a product to offer companies to track their new brand names. I think there's a profitable application there.
