Welcome to the Matt (and Jake) blog. Jake says it should be called the Palo Alto blog.
whatever. We decided to write a blog because everything is going awesomely and we want to tell you about it.
Jake and I arrived in California this past Tuesday and were living with Jake's uncle while we spent the week looking at apartments in Palo Alto. I'll be interning at a web start-up called Wildfire Interactive (http://wildfireapp.com/) here and Jake will be at an engineering firm called Weidlinger Associates (http://www.wai.com/) in nearby Mountain View.
If you're curious about the blog name (you probably weren't), Jake will tell you about it. It has something to do with apartment hunting and a dude named Antonio but it's not particularly interesting.
Long story short, we found a great apartment at 543 forest avenue in downtown Palo Alto. It's a bit pricey which means we won't be eating much over the next couple of months, but it's big enough, newly renovated and in a great part of town.
Other than that, we bought cheap bikes, went grocery shopping (while fasting for Yom Kippur which meant we had uncontrollable urges to buy food and got bulk quantities of everything) and went to a Dartmouth alumni event. Life is good, weather is beautiful and california is awesome. We both start work tomorrow at 9 and are going to try to make dinner now. then watch a movie.
more posts to come. (with pictures hopefully!)
