New Beginning

First of all, some fairly huge news: my Toronto working life is on hiatus, as I have resigned and taken a position at another company.

Secondly, you may notice that I have added a disclaimer to my blog. Although it should be obvious, it is needed for legal reasons to make it clear that any content expressed here are my views and are not necessarily shared by my current employer.

Sunday night I successfully made it through USA customs and immigration's secondary screening area (also known as the zone where dreams are crushed and hopes are dashed) without being turned away with tears streaming down my face - as was the case for the half dozen people ahead of me - and hopped on a flight to San Francisco. Mere hours later I would be starting my first day of my California working life at the #1 company for tech hopefuls in the world.

It has been exciting and delicious so far. The free gourmet food has been the most apparent perk, but the 30" LCD screens don't hurt either.

Unfortunately aside from those details I cannot divulge anything further due to the sensitive nature of my work.

I have a lot of immigration and relocation issues to work through... my temporary housing only lasts for 30 days.
