Y Combinator Demo Day

August 25th, 2010

If you are reading this after exchanging cards at the meeting tonight/last night/the other night, feel free to follow me @jjmata and/or email at the address in the card.

It was great talking to everybody after the presentations and I look forward to making some meaningful connections with those of you that I can help out. Make sure to drop me a line! You know who you are …

Away we went, home we come back!

May 9th, 2010

Willow and I joked that this was our “Away We Go” trip.  Nine months to get a feel for what it would be like to live in Spain, try different cities on for size (we thought it would be at least 3, ended up being just two: Toledo and Barcelona), and like the characters in the wonderful movie by that name, just figure out what lay ahead.

AwayWeGo

As it turns out what lay ahead is what we left behind.  We are really excited to be coming back to San Francisco and finish off what we started there just five years back.  We’ll rejoin the beautiful friendships, rewarding opportunities and interesting life that brought us together in the first place.

In a few short hours we will also share a wonderful week with our complete family all brought together (save one dearly missed grandma of mine who can’t travel with us!) as chaperons to my parents in their first trip since I met Willow and fell in love with her for the rest of life.

Glad to be back soon, glad we did this too.  Glad it feels this good!

Tomé esta foto la otra noche de camino a la escuela de negocios para cenar con Juanjo. ¡Qué campus más bonito!

¿Se me ve distinta que a los 20 (además de feliz)? La vida me sonríe, y el año que entra nos trae una ocasión muy especial (¿quién tiene ya billetes de avión?).

¿Algún consejo para disfrutar de la treintena en adelante?

¿Quién los cumple pronto?

¿Quién os está organizando la fiesta de cumpleaños?

Cosas de última, ultimísima hora

March 12th, 2007

Ahora que hay dos personas que viajan la ruta San Francisco-Toledo, pues no hay tanta presión si se te olvida alguno de los encargos o si sale alguna cosa una vez llegado aquí.

Los encargos de última hora esta vez son estos:

  • Aspirinas
  • Camisetas blancas de pico.
  • PSUS4 (they have it at the CompUSA in downtown, on Market opposite the Golfsmith store … pay cash!)
  • Zapatos castellanos.

Las posibilidades del otro iPod han desaparecido y alguna que otra historia que se me olvida ahora mismo.
