When Your Blog Works Against You

A little while back, Robert Scoble pointed to a job opening as an evangelist at Microsoft.  An evangelist looks like a pretty cushy job to me – flying around the world to conferences and posting on mailing lists and blogs a lot – something to look into becoming when I eventually get sick of coding all day.

Now by the job description I’d say I’m reasonably qualified for such a position and there’s good examples of evangelizing technologies on my blog.  Sadly, most of the technologies I comment positively about are competitors to Microsoft’s offerings and on a number of occasions I may have gone so far as to directly criticize Microsoft.  There appears to be a blog sized hole in my foot…

Someone let me know when Apple, Sun or Apache are hiring evangelists, I might have a better shot at that….

(Note to current employer: no I haven’t been spending my holidays looking for other jobs)
