First Year of Real Life
After graduating from Swarthmore with a degree in english literature and a proclivity for computer science, I took a job with Hewlett-Packard Company in Santa Clara. I worked as a Web developer while finding friends in San Francisco and living in Menlo Park. I missed Swarthmore a lot during this time, and living alone was a challenge. I threw myself into my work and helped HP out of the stone age ("What's a Web?"). At this time, dom.net was born. I could be found skateboarding around HP's pristine concrete campus, dialing up the "internet", and driving around lost a lot. Ben Vigoda moved out to CA for a while to work at HP and we had a blast, jamming during "The Salad Days".
