    Hi neighbor! We recently moved to Palo Alto. I was standing right outside our offices and saw Steve Jobs riding his bicycle down the street.

I am moving there soon to start a new job. I have been an east coaster all my life but I can't wait.

  Mountain View is boring. Strip mall architecture at its best (or worst). Nothing to do there except work, and I hope you like driving, b/c you are going to do a lot of it. At least in the biggest east coast areas (nyc/boston/w d.c.) you can get fine without a car, and public transportation gets you almost everywhere. Sex life will suck ass (if you are a straight single guy). When you introduce yourself to girls, you are yet another engineer as the other 100 she met last month. I guess there is a real reason that post card has a dude in front of the computer. That's how your life is going to be. I there is really nothing romantic about Mountain View. I honestly think weather is the best asset of the area.

    Yes I have heard Mountain View is boring but I am more looking forward to the working part of it. I have several areas to choose from that are more fun e.g. San Francisco. The companies out west are far better for someone like me though.

  Listening to the Boston T rattle past my new apartment, I feel the same way.

Greetings from balmy and insipid Atlanta, GA, home of precious little of interest to the tech industry, especially compared to CA. But it's good for telecom - that's why I kick around.

Beware the lovely mountain view police department, the primary reason I'll never live in this city again
