leave california
Woohoo! 3 years ago

Yes, we’re leaving Silly-Con Valley, home of the self-absorbed, land of the materialistic. We’re headed off to Chicago, and no one says, “Oh, I hear there’s great X there …”. No, it’s always, “How will you put up with the weather?” There’s plenty of great X in Chicago, and from now on, if I hear of anyone moving out here, I’ll ask, “How will you put up with the arrogance?”

i heart chicago

i live in silicon valley because of work, but i LOVE chicago. i dunno why people pay so much to live here. once i get my job experience, i’m leaving. i don’t dislike it here, but there are cheaper and nicer places to live, at least for me.

great avatar, by the way!

no kidding

Yeah - get your experience and get out, for sure. Silicon Valley is a resume builder, a place to build experience and connections - but it’s not a place to stay unless you happen to strike it rich with a startup.

About the avatar: there was a site online where you could generate these—but I can’t for the life of me remember what the URL is.
