Google Hack-a-thon Seattle

Google's HQ in Seattle, WA

Google's HQ in Seattle, WA

My first trip to Seattle has been fun so far… although getting here wasn’t the easiest thing in the world…

I missed my first flight out of Dallas, pushing my arrival time from 2:51pm WA time to 10:30pm.  Ouch!

But, now that I’ve arrived I’ve fallen in love.  This city just exudes energy.  Sitting in a coffee shop near Google’s Seattle HQ, I’ve heard 4 pitches to potential investors over one cup of coffee.  I’m staying on the south side of the harbor and I decided to walk the 4 miles to Google this morning.  It was one of the most refreshing experiences I’ve had in a long time… Everyone here is biking or walking to work… the scene reminds me of a hipper, more urban Boulder with a little New England flair.

I’m planning on looking for a house boat on the way back to my hotel… :)
