California FAQ
17 October 2007
Katie and I are “officially” moving to California. A lot of people have been asking questions about this, so I’ll try to create a FAQ:
- Why are you moving?
-
- Short answer:
- I got a job at Yahoo!/Delicious
- Long answer:
- I work on the symfony project a framework that makes building quality web sites easier. I will be contributing to this project in a way that is beneficial to Yahoo!. Furthermore, Katie and I are looking for an adventure. Moving out of our home in Minneapolis and into a new part of the country will be a big adjustment for us.
- Where in California are you moving?
- We are moving to the San Francisco Bay area. We will find a place when we arrive. We will likely be in Mountain View or if we can find some place affordable, the City of San Francisco.
- When are you moving?
- We are moving in early November. I start my job in mid-November.
- That's really soon?
- Yes! I know!
- What will you do with your house?
- We own a duplex, we'll rent out the half we live in. We're also finishing up our attic as I type. Initially our good friends Marc and Sadie will live here.
- What about your cats?
- We are not sure. They will eventually join us in California, but we are not sure if they will come with us right away in November, or later.
- You're going to have a going away party?
- Of course, just email me
- What about your car/bikes?
- Car is being shipped to CA. We bike a lot and intend to do so in California, so we'll be moving our bikes as well.
- Are you excited?
- Yes.
- What is Katie going to do?
- We will be getting an apartment that has a pool. I can only imagine she will spend her days making daiquiris sitting by the pool. </dl>
