A few CMU alumni went down to Microsoft’s Silicon Valley Campus (aka
SVC) for a CMU alumni Mardi Gras event hosted by MSN / SVC. This was
also an introduction to a lot of people (such as me) that CMU now has a
West Coast campus, located near Moffet Field. Jim Morris is heading up
the CS part. Apparently he’s also consulting a couple hours a week at
Google — not to mention Google has a new Pittsburgh office. Looks like
some Microsoft CMU alumni are going to have to start representing a bit
more before Google takes all the spoils. Incidentally, as I spent the
day traveling up and down 101, I was amazed at how close everything is.
Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft SVC are all within 15 minutes of each other.
