August 1, 2008. I've moved out of my apartment, sold my car, motorcycle, garage full of geek stuff and other assorted bits. I've packed my life (possessions) into a container for shipment to St. Martin, French West Indies, Caribbean.
I've said goodbye to friends. I've promised to write, to come back soon. I've left the Silicon Valley of California behind.
Oh. I've checked in 280 pounds of luggage on an American flight to Miami. Don't ask what that cost in extra charges. :-(
My last meal (last supper?) in the Silicon Valley was Indian at a place in San Mateo called The Clay Oven. They have some of the best Chicken Tikka Masala in the world.
Good bye Silicon Valley. I've known you for 12.5 years. You've changed. I've changed. Good bye.
I won't miss the traffic, senseless drivers or being totally 100% stopped on a freeway designed for 80 mph travel. I mean Chinese fire drill stopped on a four (five, six) lane freeway.
