1st post

Here's my first try and blogging. I'm not sure it'll catch on but it seems like a good thing to try now that I'm in a new place. Maybe it'll help me keep track of the stuff I've been up to. So here's an overview of the last month or so since I moved (apologies if this gets kind of long).

So I picked up and moved from the east coast to the west coast in mid june. Definitely a big move for me seing as I've always been a new englander but california is great. You really can't beat this weather. I certainly don't miss humidity. Maybe at some point I'll miss the snow... but for now I'm happy. As far as the cold goes, I'm quickly becoming a wimp. When the temperature is much below 72, I'm freezing.

I started work not long after moving - my first real job. Even now, after a month, its still a little overwhelming. There's so much information to digest and its always busy. But, I love it. It's hard to imagine working anywhere else. I'm working on a very visible part of the company which is pretty exciting. I made a change the other day that millions of people saw - it was really simple but still kind of neat that I was responsible.

It is nice to be in a new place - there are so many new places and things to see and do. I've taken a bunch of day trips to santa cruz, half moon bay, point lobos, and san francisco, and they've all been great. If I ever move up to san francisco, I found the place I want to live. Not that I'll ever be able to afford it but its still nice to think about. If I moved there, I'd definitely have to take up sailing because its right on the water and the sailors I saw the other day really seemed to be enjoying themselves.

That's it for now. I'm off to do some reading :)
