Not to second-guess your choice... but what happened to Arlington, MA in this analysis? ;)
I liked Arlington when I lived there: Short bus ride to Cambridge, walk to the Red Line in good weather, bike path, wide streets, walkable, not too urban, not too suburban, not too expensive...
But Palo Alto has most of that plus startups and sun, so it certainly makes sense.
- sanj 18y agoAnother Arlingtonian? Crazy! Perhaps not so crazy. Last year I discovered two other Ruby programmers (one at another startup, one at a more established firm) among the parents in my son's kindergarten class. And this was a reasonably sized class of ~20 kids. Is time for an Arlington YC meetup?
- pwk 18y agoIs time for an Arlington YC meetup? I work in Arlington, and live just one town over. Yup, Ruby. An Arlington meetup might be fun, I never seem to be able to make the Boston Ruby events in Cambridge.
- pg 18y agoVisiCalc was written in Arlington. Tipjoy's there too.
- ivankirigin 18y agoThere is a biweekly YC meetup at Tipjoy HQ: http://bit.ly/startup_poker http://bit.ly/startup_poker We had a good crowd last night. I need to buy more chairs.
- brlewis 18y agoHas it grown to where some people come just to socialize, not to play poker?
- ivankirigin 18y agoNot yet, but poker is socializing :)
- brlewis 18y agoYeah, but expensive socializing. :-/
- emmett 18y agoI played board games last time - but wait that was in SF...
- icefox 18y agoI get together with friends every once in a while to hang out and play board games (not trivial pursuit etc, but good Euro games like those found on boardgamegeek.com) and would enjoy starting a hacking group. Would there be others in the Arlington area who would be interested in joining?
- ivankirigin 18y agoI play catan regularly, and just got puerto rico for my birthday. We should host a night at Tipjoy HQ
- icefox 18y agoThat sounds great, do you want to set that up (are you involved in the poker night?)
- ia 18y agoi was going to say the same thing about winchester, ma... minus the walk to the redline. no answer to the weather issue, however.
- far33d 18y agoI thought I was the only startup hacker / YC news reader in Winchester! We just moved here and despite the homogeneity, it's a great town that is walkable and has train service.
