Below is this week’s edition. Here’s the last one we published; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.
Harboring feelings
Maybe it’s the remnants of last week’s Capital Jazz Fest still pumping music through the air, but Smokey Robinson’s “Cruisin” keeps popping up in the head and it’s time to find a boat!
There’s something soothing about the sweet breeze across your skin, and the occasional not-so-sweet smell of fish across your nose, that you can only experience at our many harbors and wharfs in the DMV.
From the Baltimore Inner Harbor, to the waterfront in Old Town Alexandria, there’s a way to experience the Potomac and Anacostia rivers via private yachts, dinner cruises and sailing clubs. For a quick and cheap cruise, pay $10 and catch a water taxi between Alexandria, Georgetown and even Nationals Park. Get woozy on the water? The DC Wharf and National Harbor have some of the best views in the area.

Digital health startups recently had a chance to pitch ideas and win funding through a new partnership with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and LifeBridge Health. The two healthcare companies also announced a plan for an innovation center in Baltimore that will support startups looking for funding and collaboration. LifeBridge also has an opening for a Manager of IT Applications.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is used pretty much everywhere by everyone, and we’ve shared many jobs (like this DevOps one at Nava) that require some sort of experience in or knowledge of the service. If you want to get a solid education in cloud computing, AWS has announced a partnership with George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College to launch degree programs in the subject.

The End
