The Road Trip

In 2003 I drove a VW Rabbit convertible from San Diego to Seattle with a Dell laptop and a trending coding blog. Roaming the Microsoft Redmond campus, I found a recruiter smoking a cigarette behind the Xbox recruitment building.

I camped out in San Francisco waiting for the job, and eventually went home to my girlfriend in Oslo for Xmas. The recruiter called and offered me a plane ticket back to Redmond.

I chose the girlfriend. She's now the mother of my three children. I'm still working out of Oslo, Norway.
