Going West

Three years ago I moved from Tucson, AZ to the big city of New York. And now, in about two weeks I’ll be leaving the east coast for San Francisco.

I’m very happy to announce that I recently accepted a job working at Google (specifically on YouTube). We’re moving out on May 1st, and don’t know too many people out there, so if you’re in the area and want to get some beers, let me know!

New York is a fantastic city, and I’m a a bit sad to leave it (and Schematic), but at the same time am at least equally excited about the new job.

Congrats. Was this a position you found through their corporate site, or did they contact you themselves. You’re all over the net, so I could see how and why they’d recruit you.

Congrats on the offer!! Well deserved. I wanted to thank you for the post on SWFObjects. I wrote about it in my blog: wasn’t aware of it and found it VERY useful!

Hey Geoff, Thats awesome your coming out here. Up until a few months ago, you tube was headquartered 4 blocks from my home in San Mateo, now its just a little way’s up the road in San Bruno. Let me know if you need any help with local stuff. I’m working in San Francisco these days, but It would be great to grab a beer. — Cody

Hey Man!

I am a flash guy who’s also new to the city (SF)… but I’ve learned some cool places around here if you want to get a drink sometime.

Hit me up if you’re down for a good beer and some parties.
