In April 2003 I traded my hometown of Haarlem, Netherlands, for the San Francisco Bay Area and a career in tech journalism and high-tech public relations. But work isn't the only reason I like the area, as you'll see on this blog, which will primarily have photos and some personal thoughts.
Mom and dad brought some flags from Holland to decorate the house in anticipation of Friday's Holland-Brazil quarter final in the World Cup. The neighbor asked: "Will there be a party, or is this a crime scene?"
