Seattle as a city is quite facinating . 3 million people , and some of the world's greatest technology has come from this city. Right from Aircraft , to operating systems ... to  real time buying and selling systems (Boeing,Microsoft,Amazon...) and thousands of startups apart from this .  And the startups here do well.

In a cool/cold mountain-surrounded environment the brain, I'm sure functions better and more creatively.

 

Have been drawin up a list of museums to visit over the next couple of months. The museum of flight would be first on my list :) Before I got lost somewhere in the bits and bytes of the screen ur gazing at right now,  aviation was something which I really found facinating and I still do find it really interesting . If there's a wonder of engineering its the aircraft . I mean ... every calculation going into its making has to be so accurate, its so critical. Similarly the circuits and programs controlling every single part of it have to be so accurate .  Its not like a web service which can simple throw an exception , jot it down in the log file , and get away with it. Its a matter of life n death - a single slip would mean an air crash. On the code front ,what 've heard is that for every single line of code which controls the rudders/wings etc ... there are 55 levels of scrutinizing n testing .... anyways ... continuin with Seattle

Not too sure about this but its probably ranked as the best city to stay in the US. (Yeah sure therez a lot of rain ... ) Also what I find really cool is the fact that its

located right next to the pacific north west mountain ranges. 

The first impression I get from a city is from  its skyline , and the architecture.

This is probably the millionth time that a pic of the Space Needle is being posted on the Internet - but somehow it is so impressive that I feel it deserves one more tribute:)

And then again ... how can I forget to paste a pic of my new office .. Building 16 at Microsoft - the Office Business Platform Division
