Intel Inside: Conan Visits

· Posted Tuesday May 8, 2007 by jamie

I worked for three years at Intel in Dupont. It was a good place to work, and I might still be there today had my job not been shipped off to Bangalore. Nonetheless, I loved this video of Conan O’Brien’s trip into their Santa Clara headquarters. Ever wondered what Intel Dupont looks like? Take away the clean room and the museum and this video pretty much gets it right. Everything looks very familiar: everything is gray (even the cafeteria), seas of cubicles, numbered poles. Same goes for every other Intel facility I visited during my time there. It almost hurts to watch.

(Via Engadget.)

Update: The video has been pulled from YouTube. Can’t seem to find it on the NBC site either, hopefully they’ll post it at some point. In the mean time, it looks like some other video sharing sites may still have it, give it a Google… (It appears to still be up on Clipstr.)
Another Update: NBC finally posted this to YouTube, so all is now legal and stuff. The embedded video should now work.

New Yahoo Group for Tacoma Software Developers

· Posted Wednesday February 21, 2007 by jamie

I’m not sure a ton of software developers read my site, but my Tacoma Tech Companies list pulls in at least a few.

Anyway, I wanted to help get word out about a new group focusing on software development in the Tacoma area.

The description from the Yahoo site:

The Tacoma Software Development Special Interest Group serves as a forum of discussion and networking tool for those software developers who live in the Tacoma and surrounding vicinity, regardless of specialty. Geographical areas that this group is intended to draw from include Tacoma, South King County, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, & Puyallup. Members from beyond these areas are welcome, too!

Currently it is a Yahoo Groups email list, but the long term vision might involve having organized meetings with networking, technical presentations, etc. If you are a developer, it’s definitely worth considering jumping on board with this group to help “grow” the South Sound’s programming community.

Check out the Tacoma Software Development Group.
