I sponsored Staffup Weekend, brought Brooke Allen to SF, and helped Deborah Branscum write her story for Medium.

Hey guys, this is Brooke Allen, the fellow Deborah was talking about.

I actually applied to work with Brooke a couple years ago, and I probably still have the Craigslist post saved.

The Little Dog's Day by Rupert Brooke All in the town were still asleep, When the sun came up with a shout and a leap.

I posted this and my startup, FutureAdvisor, invited Brooke to come to the Bay last fall for an event like the one reported here.

Hi, I'm Noah and I head BD for Better Work World, the organization I have started with Brooke to help firms hire the way he did.

I recently ran a hiring event in San Francisco with Brooke called Staffup Weekend.

When Brooke hired this way he found people he would have never hired through reviewing resumes, so thats a win for both of them, and those whom he did not hire-- many of whom had been unemployed-- would usually quickly find jobs elsewhere because they were given the opportunity to do relevant work, network, etc.

> 'Despite the conclusions of the police accident report, which claimed that Brooke had been driving too fast for the road conditions and lost control when she hydroplaned over a sheet of water...' I would love to see an article on statistics of how many police reports are factually inaccurate, even if only proven inaccurate by later reporting/exposition.

If he's the holder of that patent, "Lawrence Brooke Frank Philips", then he can enforce it no?

Brooke Allen got a bit of attention on HN recently with a post he wrote (incidentally called "How my life was changed when I began caring about the people I did not hire"), but that's not the one I mean to point to here.

Like the famous observation about Churchill: "His chief of staff Alan Brooke complained that every day Churchill had 10 ideas, only one of which was good -- and he did not know which one." And when I think of product meeting's I've sat in on...

"The New York Times has reported that Al-Qaeda has designed Foursquare to identify popular locations for bombings!" "Actually, Brooke, that's been discredited as any kind of real threat, the people that use that site are the people that no one would mind seeing bombed anyway."

Brooke’s body seemed to be developing not as a coordinated unit, he wrote, but rather as a collection of individual, out-of-sync parts.

Brooke and Noah have helped by providing guidance for them, and we have all tried to create a community of the unchosen.

Brooke is one of the smartest, hardest-working and most generous people I know.
