Hi there,
Was wondering if anyone knew of a product that I'll refer to as a "video toaster". Here are the minimum requirements:
* Connect two video data sources (web cams or analog cameras)
* Connect a single audio source
* Save the audio stream along with at least one of the videos
* Save the video to a storage device (such as a removable flash or to a computer with storage via usb or other bus)
* Be portable (less than netbook size)
Nice to haves:
* Standalone with its own power source and local storage
* Integrated GPS or capability of saving GPS data from an external GPS device
* Wireless cameras
* Combine both videos and single audio channel together and save as a single file (video side by side)
* Customizable firmware
Anyone know of a device like this one?

the group you're looking at will never meet your requirements, but good luck.
have you tried craigslist?
I am leveraging all resources, including those who read these forums. There is a lot of opportunity simply through networking even if the person reading an ad isn't interested, there's always a chance that they know a superstar themselves.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Spam?
No it's legitimate. Thought this would be a good place to find some talented folks.

People Search Media is a young, fast?growing internet marketing company located in downtown Palo
Alto, California (next to Caltrain station). This is an early stage opportunity for a very senior IT specialist to work on
a state?of?the?art internet marketing infrastructure. We’re looking for a very smart, highly skilled person
who is able to write or speak at length about his or her credentials in the following areas:
Servers and systems administration
Our core customer applications are running on Windows . Net and SQL Server 2005. These are secure
ecommerce applications running thousands of daily transactions. For our internal IT needs we’re using
Linux Gentoo with openLDAP, Samba, Zimbra, OTRS, Subversion, Trac and several other applications
running on stand?alone or VMWare virtual machines.
Our headquarters is in Palo Alto but we have detached users and data centers throughout the world.
Therefore, if you are truly an experienced administrator you’ll understand why we have Juniper
Netscreen, SonicWall and RADIUS UTM Firewall, IPSEC VPN’s, SSL VPN’s, and two?factor secured
communications between sites and users. You’ll also appreciate our 100Mb fiber connection and
backup failover networks.
All this has been built by over the past year by a small team of incredibly talented and dedicate people
but, we’ve got so much more to do. We need your help to:
Specify, order, burn?in and build?out dozens of additional servers and scores of desktops and notebooks
(with and without VMWare)
Patch, monitor, backup and build fault tolerance into the whole infrastructure
Help us achieve, maintain and audit our PCI DSS compliance
Add new users and manage our desktop support team
Troubleshoot and solve network performance and connectivity issues
Select tools or write ad?hoc scripts to automate repetitive tasks.
Manage networking systems and hardware including IPSEC VPN appliances and clients.
Deploy strong encryption
Design, test and deploy a disaster recovery plan
Application Support
We build and deploy consumer web applications incredibly fast. Our Tech Czar and VP of Software
development need someone they can implicitly trust to install, administer and support servers running
. NET applications, IIS and Microsoft SQL server. We also need to make sure our developer’s local,
hosted and co?located environments running Visual Studio are available and stable as they sprint to
their next release (we use Scrum methodologies). These folks along with the QA team are dealing with
explosive growth of our customer base. We can’t afford to have them waiting around for flakey
equipment or broken communication links.
==================================
On this job you’ll learn a ton about how high performing, incredibly talented people excel in the field of
internet marketing. You’ll also have a once?in?a?lifetime opportunity to make a huge impact in one of
the fastest growing companies in the Bay Area. But this is not a learn?on?the?job opportunity. We need
someone who can roll up their sleeves and dive into the dozens of tasks that need to be completed
yesterday. Here’s what will bring your resume to our attention:
Education:
B. S. in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent required. (Note: Experience
requirements reduced with graduate degree)
Servers and Systems Administration
* 3 to 5+ years experience with Windows Server and SQL Server installation and administration in a
mixed Windows/Linux environment.
* 5+ years experience configuring Windows workstations for senior developers and heavy quantitative
users in a Samba or Windows domain controller environment.
* 3 to 5+ years experience with Linux system administration desirable. Candidates should be
experienced with building, configuring and tuning a Linux system from the bare?metal up.
*Familiarity supporting Internet and IP?based network services: DNS, SMTP, SSH, HTTP/Web, LDAP,
others.
* 2+ years experience with VMware desktop and server.
* Proven knowledge about internal and external security issues and configuration including, VPN
configuration, strong encryption, backup and disaster recovery methodologies,
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills. We need your systems, policies and procedures
fully documented in order for you to hand your systems off to our desktop support personnel and server
administrators who we’ll hire to support you.
==================================

Let's get this out first. I'm not a recruiter; I'm the hiring manager. I'm not SPAM; I'm a real person. I'm coming here because the folks in this community are exactly the right pool where I'll find my candidate--hungry tech-savvy problem solvers! You can send a PM to me here or apply through the web site. I look forward to hearing from you. Not in the San Francisco Bay Area? That's not a problem. If you're the right candidate, we can explore relocation or working 100% remote.
Here's the pitch:
Inflection, a fast-growing e-commerce and marketing company, is looking for an agile, technology agnostic, and highly energetic software engineer for a full-time position at our corporate office in downtown Palo Alto. This Software Engineer will join a special team within Inflection responsible for rapid execution of new technology prototypes, mobile and social applications, ETL automation and internal tool development. You'll be working under the guidance of our Sr. Director of Engineering Operations to envision and build innovative new tools and technologies for new and emerging products, marketing channels, partnerships and business intelligence.
You embrace fast and flexible software engineering
Inflection’s profitability and market leadership depends on frequent releases and agile development techniques. You will be joining an extremely experienced team of developers, product managers, graphic designers, QA, and IT in a collaborative, fun, and fast-paced environment. We want to create the best products in our industry with fast and flexible software engineering while continuing to build scalable strategic platforms and foundation.
Responsibilities
Design and build mobile and social applications leveraging platform services, 3rd-party Web services and databases.
Stay current with emerging technologies for Web, mobile, and social application engineering
Build ETL automation and other scripting and automation toolsets for business intelligence and reporting.
Rapid design and implementation of scalable new marketing and product sites for traffic generation and/or e-commerce.
Develop detailed knowledge of our platform system and operations to support new technology initiatives and reporting.
Document and present code in regular code reviews.
You’re fast, fluent, and abundantly qualified:
BS in Computer Science or Engineering with demonstrated academic excellence
3+ years developing Web sites and applications that use databases
Expert knowledge of PHP and MySQL
Excellent knowledge of Javascript
Excellent understanding of software design and computer architecture
Good understanding of Linux as it relates to development and deployment of Web applications
Good understanding of CSS
Good understanding of Web application design principals to build for scale
Ability to quickly learn, understand and code in other programming languages such as PERL, Ruby, C#, Visual Basic, and Objective-C
Experience developing mobile or social applications is a big plus
Experience working with .NET and Microsoft SQL Server a plus
An incredible passion for technology that extends beyond software engineering
You believe that work and fun can, in fact, coexist:
Bored employees make boring products. At Inflection, there’s no such thing. We run big websites with millions of users, but we’re allergic to the sterile and cold corporate culture. Work and life should definitely be buddies, so we’re serious about cultivating a fab work environment. To wit:
Our headquarters are smack dab in the middle of Palo Alto, California, across from Stanford and near many of the best and brightest companies in the Silicon Valley. Getting here is a breeze, too. We’re right across from the Caltrain station and we pay for your tickets with the GO Pass program.
The team is as diverse as it is skilled: talented designers, superstar engineers, Silicon Valley vets, and entrepreneurs galore.
We like to be happy. Especially in the post-work hour-long format.
There’s enough free food and drink at hand to feed a small army. Plus, lunch at Whole Foods is on us every day.
We’re serious about being ethical and responsible citizens and business people. For example, we make a charitable donation with each product release.
We’ve got a sailing club. If you never thought you’d be on a boat, here’s your chance.
We care about results, and understand that people get there in their own unique way. You can define your own work path, work with others to set deadlines, and there’s significant work from home flexibility.
