First Day and a Kosmix article!

Today was my first day at Kosmix. Spent a bunch of time on the every present paperwork changing all my benefits, entering my name and address in a gazillion places. Jeez, what we need is one application that I can put in my name, phone number and some of the relevant particulars and it should fill in that stuff for every form.

Anyway, it was a cool but low key day. Got of to a decent start I think, with my computer mostly setup and stuff. Now its on to figure out what I am really supposed to be doing there.

BTW: here is a cool article on the company: silicon beat

New Job: Cosmix

After a lot of soul searching and literally praying (since this is going to be a leap of faith) I have chosen Cosmix as the company I going to work for (or laze at!!) .

They are a very young vertical search engine company with an excellent team. The vertical of choice has been HealthCare but watch for future developments!!

What will I be doing for them: that so top secret that even I dont know!!!

Hiking and more!

Today we did a moderate hike at Windy Hill. The gang:John, Eric, Bart and self.

The main point of this hike: 360 degree panoramic views of the bay area!! see the ocean and the bay all from one place!! spectacular.. will post photoos when I get them from Eric.

Added plus.. if you are lucky u get to see a real live Coyote!!! aahooooooo!!!!

but this was just past the rains so the paths were a good bit muddy and we got liberally muddy as well..and then we tramped into my car.. but on the whole didnt really mess up that much..

Also let me mark this hike as the place and time when we (mostly John and Bart, but I want a share of the royalties too!) came up with the "When in Doubt" Guinness ad along with a bunch of dirty limericks!!

its a new year

Wow its a new year.. such a lot seems to have changed from 2005. Without the phd, I feel so much more free...free to really enjoy life!! Its also time to make big changes.. so I am planning on my next career move..

Am interviewing at:

Google

Yahoo

Composite Software

Signal Demand

Cosmix

and one other stealth startup. Lets see what the future holds for me!
