Relocating to Silicon Valley Through the Twitters of Anthony Nemitz

Recent University of Minnesota Computer Science graduate, Anthony Nemitz, decided that California was the place to be after finishing college this spring. So, he packed up his bags and made the move while Twittering about the transition.

Here's a play by play of the trip from Anthony's Twitter profile:

In just over a week, Anthony managed to move 1900 miles by car, survive a night in Reno, and find a new job, all while staying connected with friends through Twitter using Twitter.com, his cell phone, and Facebook.

It sounds like he still may be homeless - or sleeping on a friend's couch - but he's clearly made a successful transition to Silicon Valley while finding time to watch a few movies.

Next time you write a post on me you'll have to let me know before hand, I am three days behind in my feed reading. Life has been a whirlwind this past few days and I hope it continues to be this much fun:) Thanks for the mention.

I tried hard to connect Anthony with potential startup employers here, but it seems we've lost him to the Valley for now.

Best of luck, Anthony, and stay in touch!

cheers,
Graeme
