I had always heard of Silicon Valley but never really knew what it was. Having now "lived" in the area, I get it... it truly is a high-tech mecca. Every time I am in a cab or car, I pass by bulidings with names on them like Yahoo!, eBay, Symantec, Apple, Intel, Intuit and the list goes on and on... I read the other day that the Silicon Valley area is the third largest high-tech area in the US and I believe it!
My hotel is less than a half mile from my office and definitely within walking distance. Unfortunately, we have had a lot of rain so I have been relying in the shuttle and co-workers to cart me back and forth. However, when the weather cooperates, I like to walk. Today, I took my camera! I thought I would show you how many tech companies I pass in .4 miles...
Most of them I have never heard of, but for every Apple and Applied Materials, there are 100's of smaller companies doing their thing every day.
Here is my destination every day...
This Thursday, however, I will have a "first day" at work all over again. I will finally start work in the Austin office. I will meet all new people, find the restrooms, learn how to use their microwave and copier. I haven't even seen where my desk is located!

Good luck making your transition from headquarters back home ... Austin misses you :)
