Melissa and I have moved around a lot in the past prior to the rise common social tools like Facebook and LinkedIn which make it easy to stay loosely connected to folks. So there are people in our past that we have lost touch with. That said it is always very special and fun when we get to connect with some of our old friends and we had that a few weeks back.
To guys we worked with back in the Autometric days (now 10+ years ago) stopped by the house for dinner. Jim Gannon and Emerson Brooks were both engineers that we worked with and hung out with. We figured it had actually been 12 or more years since we had seen either of them because they had both left Autometric before we did.
We had a ton of fun catching up with them, playing the "do you know where someone is.." game.
It turns out that Emerson is using the software that my new company produces. That is truly small world stuff. Jim now lives out here in Mountain View working for Google in their Adwords group and his job as he describes it is "counting clicks".
What a fun time and we hope to see both Emerson and Jim more often in the future.
