Rome (extended remix)

So I still haven't gotten out to see any of the city yet, but it seems like that's gonna be okay since they've got me staying out here till the 3rd week of october. That's a long time to be away (6 weeks total) espescially since I still haven't completely moved into my new Foster City apt yet. But hey, it's Rome, I'll think I'll deal. When I gt back I will throw quite the housewarming party

Roman Work-iday

Spent my first day in Rome yesterday. The Holiday Inn was crap, so I have since shifted to the sheraton, a nicer cheaper(thanks to my new gold status) hotel where I earn rewards points. I haven't gotten to see any of rome except for the two hotels, the airport, the customer site, and the TIBCO office. Our office here is spectacular. We are in a real Roman Villa complete with the cyprus lined garden, courtyards, and fountains (pictures to follow). Apparantly the family that owns the villa stilll lives somewhere on the massive grounds, but they rent out some of the buildings to a couple companies. Afterall, if you have to go into the office everyday, you might as well do it in style. When I get out this weekend I'll have more interesting stuff to post, now it's back to the grindstone

InfoPr0n

Great graphical view of buzzwords and the frequency of their use at the DNC and RNC. It's been a while since I've had an infoporn posting, so if you guys find any out there, post a comment so I can link to em.

Dive! Dive! Dive!

Dive! Dive! Dive! Yes, another key link from my aunt. This is a listing of a bunch of valley ( silicon, not the silicone SFV) dives for lunch. It has a very San Jo focus, but it lists a few good ones around the rest of the valley as well. Definitely worth taking a look if you want some cheap eats.

Romeward Bound

Once again I am traveling to lands afar for work. This time they're sending me to Rome which is going to be sweet. I've never been before and I'm looking forward to getting out a little and seeing the sites. I'm bringing a hawaiian shirt, shorts, sandals and black socks, I make a badass tourist. I'll use the blog as a travel journal like I did in Melbourne.
