You know a meeting is going to end well when it starts out with Hey, youre the guy who wrote that paper, right? Yeah, that was me. That was *awesome* paper, nicely done! Thanks, man! High 5. Fist bump. This was as at breakfast get together with the technology branch of a Top-3 investment bank this morning (their invite, theyre pitching me). They want to open a west coast design centre, and are asking me if I can/want to do it. They dont care where it is, as long as its west coast but not Palo Alto, because Google keeps poaching their Silicon Valley guys by adding a zero to their paycheques. So, yes, putting it right here in the WarmLand is an option. The irony is that while this conversation is happening, I cant even get our regional Economic Development Council (that we pay, what, a million dollars a year for?!) to return my phone calls! Seriously, if you want real economic development here - real high paying greenish tech jobs - put me on the damn council. Inside of three years therell be a tsunami of them, inside of 10 years well totally transform the local economy.
