swell, there are a number of silicon valley startup vets from the 70s retiring here. it beautiful and we think traffic means it takes 20 min to get to work, rather than 15min. i also think in milwaukee we have the best beer in the world.

something else to learn from this, is how we should all look for employees. a number of the books i have read like "good to great" and "built to last" have suggested the only true way to build a great company is to create an environment wh
