Jennifer and I are finally on the road from Seattle (Bellevue) to Tulsa, OK. In usual form, it took until 1:00 before we were on the road. Also in usual form, we were up until 2am the night before the cross-country drive. Jennifer points out that we got tons of good stuff done at the house last night and this morning.
My evening started out traveling directly from the airport to the Melting Pot in Seattle for the annual Microsoft Intern Game staff dinner. That was fun, but my flight got in 30 minutes late (thanks, Delta), so I missed my favorite course: cheese. I made up for this during “dessert” when a group of us ordered cheese instead of chocolate. Yay cheese. Throughout dinner a group of us were joking about opening a restaurant called “Cheese ‘Til Dawn”.
After dinner, Jennifer and I stopped in at her office at Microsoft. After we finished cleaning off her computer and desk, the full impact of the move finally hit me. Apparently right up until that point, I hadn’t really moved to Tulsa so much as was I was sorta staying there during the week. As of last night, I realized that I was really no longer connected to Microsoft, and that I was really packing up the last of our things in Seattle to move to Tulsa with no strong connections remaining.
I’m currently working on the position-tracking tool so y’all can watch a moving map to see where we are. It’s coming along well. I have the GPS data decoder done. Now I need to build the database to shovel the data into. I hope to have this done by early evening. I’ll post a link here when it’s ready to go. I’ll also post some pictures as we go along.
Just out of curiosity, who’s following along from home?
