'Bronx at Work' Site Seems Pretty Damn Lazy

If you haven't read this New York Times' City Room piece about www.bronxatwork.com by David Gonzalez, you should click here to check it out.

Bronxatwork.com seems to be maintained by the Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (BOEDC), who says they are having "terrible technical problems with the site." Click here to read David Gonzalez's amusing piece to see what those problems are... Perhaps the biggest issue seems to be that no jobs are ever posted on the site!

We're not really buying the technical problems excuse... We here at BoogieDowner are by no means techies, but whenever we run into a formatting issue, we just Google our problems away. There are millions of interweb geeks lurking in message boards just waiting to help you solve tech problems.

As of right now, the site has been taken down for a few weeks so the folks over at BOEDC can figure out how to... hmmm, I dunno, maybe post some jobs on the site? We'll be watching!

Great story - thanks David Gonzalez!
