Thanksgiving in palo alto.
I’m thankful for the many people in my life who I have had the pleasure of sharing this holiday in the past with. For the people who have cared enough to cook me food because I am utterly helpless in the kitchen. For the people who called or messaged me to remind me that even though I left the east coast, my roots are still back there. For the wonderful new people that I meet everyday living...
zucks in university cafe.
I saw mark zuckerberg + gf in the flesh today at university cafe while meeting to talk about weardrobe. This is why palo alto is a little microcosm of startup wonders. Ok, back to work!

Weardrobe looking for Lead Engineer
Weardrobe (http://www.weardrobe.com) is a scrappy, early stage startup based in downtown Palo Alto. Shortly after receiving seed funding from a group of friends, we relocated from New York to the Bay Area to build out our team and business.
