I don’t want it to seem like all I do is work. But…

My uncle and aunt in California gave Melissa and I an engagement gift of a credit to a nice furniture store in DC. Used it to get an awesome home office setup. I wish I got to use it more, but today is the perfect day to stay home and do some research.

The monument is sticking out in the background. The view is splendid.

For NYE, we went to Fripp Island, SC with some good friends. I’ll post some pictures shortly. The highlights were a great golf game with Mitch and an Oyster roast on New Years Eve. Regarding golf, let me just say that if Caroline is my scorekeeper, I might make par someday, otherwise there is no chance.

I am starting a job in 10 days with an amazing company OPOWER in arlington Virginia!

I’m really really excited about it. Ill be moving to DC this coming week. Ill miss you last remaining Bostonians and my family. But I’m so ready to go!

Also I’m falling into the Mac fanboy group. They just bought me a sweet new macbook pro 15,

today was my first day at the new job, and I’m extremely excited about the prospects. The next month will be spent in an intense design phase, while concurrently growing the team. After that will be development. I am VERY excited. I like the guys I work with. I realized that they are not the most exciting bunch over lunch today, with the standard discussion of Lawn Tractors. Just like Cisco.

My Friends at Cisco presented me with this pillow before I left. Veronika, Boris, Shweta and Payal. The picture is hilarious. It is from the good old days when I used to come into work hung over every friday. Ahh, the good old days…

Thanks Guys! I’ll dream of you while I nap in my new office.

Have you ever faced an impending experience you feel you are totally unprepared for? Leaving a comfortable place, where life is calm and people care for you. This place has been part of your daily routine for several years, and yet you know it is time to go and start growing again.

tell me about it. leave me a comment.

also, the new Manu Chao album is out. I bought it from Amazon MP3 Downloads and it is GOOD. Check out the track “A Cosa” below and let me know what you think. Anyone can comment now, you don’t need an account.
