Today’s the last day of my secret side trip. I thought I’d drop a few more hints of where I am and what I’m up to. I got up, had some noodles for breakfast and got dressed, as you can see above. I rather like this look.
My local benefactors are wonderfully generous. Not only did they give me a place to crash, they even loaned me their “beater” car! It drives like a dream, and my only quibble is that the GPS could stand to have a much better user interface. If that’s not a First World Problem, I don’t know what is.
It took me a half hour to reach my destination, and it took me half that time to find a place to park.
Between the parking lot and my destination, a poem.
I spent from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in a place that had the view pictured above.
Afterwards, a coffee break at a little boulangerie, some more walking about, and then dinner with friends.

I did find one high-tech company in that building that has a software development focus... something about easy payment processing solutions without having to deal with the headache of PCI requirements.
Okay, that poem is engraved in only one place, and a web search tells me where. I am however impressed with Greg Lo's ability to figure out exactly which building you were in!
Oh. Square sounds like an exciting place to work.
