He had joined a young startup in LA called HauteLook and was interested in getting to know the local tech community.

One family is from Chicago, with a mom, dad, and two kids. It sounds like the work will be light construction on a community center this week. It’s a new community center, and has up only some of the outer framing. Great lunch, it was friend chicken tenders, rice and black beans, a green salsa, plantains, and fruit juice.

The glorious green grass of the work-from-home employee is a goal for many successful people (and not-so-successful people) and a great way to hire the best talent without having to pay to relocate them.
