9th residential state

I'm sure there are people out there that can beat this, but I was pretty surprised to realize that I've now lived in 9 separate states (some multiple times and locations).

My newest residence is Cupertino, CA in 'Silicon Valley' south of San Fransisco. I've started an internship at Lab126, which does research & development for amazon.com's Kindle. I'm one of the first interns to start for the summer and I'm already enjoying the company, people and pace. Amazon is a different type of company and I like being a part of it (even if they aren't my direct employer). They don't spend all their time making powerpoint presentations, they instead invest time in their vetting their ideas through white papers. They have some crazy and peculiar ways centered around their customer, but they stick to them and live by them. Its way more relaxed that I could have imagined.

I've got a cute lil apt to myself and there's a pool (and sunshine to take advantage of) and I even got a bike to use for the summer. I'm definitely excited to start meeting other interns and making plans for discovering the area (here I come Napa!).

So far all is good, can't wait to share more :)
