A tangential story, pardon me. I was in San Francisco a couple weeks ago playing a couple shows at the Independent. My buddy Fritz owns a bar/restaurant called the Connecticut Yankee, and was giving me a ride from the hotel to the airport with a breakfast and Irish coffee stop over at the Yankee on the way. We cruised right past Zynga's HQ, which is a few blocks away. "Wow, Zynga's right there, huh?" [aggravated grumbling from Fritz] "Why? What could a bar owner have against a big business full of people making lots of money being a few blocks away?" "Well, all these tech companies hire their own chefs now. None of those people even leave the building all day. It's totally slaughtered my lunchtime crowd." I'd never really considered the micro-economic effects of the Google Chef before, but there you go.
