The Halo 3 release is currently featured prominently at Microsoft
More Master Chief
Redmond has lots of greenery. In my mind, it was basically twice the size of Berkeley, but with about the same number of buildings
Fountain behind the cafeteria of the original buildings (1-8, centrally located)
Forgot what building this was

This is one of the Windows buildings - hard core nerds live here
Inside the hard core nerd cafeteria
And more of the Windows cafteria
And rain - of course
Lobby of the building 50, I liked this one because it was pretty wide open

During my hunt for the main campus company store... I stumbled across Nintendo of America
In the Microsoft museum, there were these plaques which detailed every product release during a given five period marker
Here are those plaques
The one for 1990
The one for 1995

The one for 2000
Some of the digital media stuff - in the back, there's what I think was a proof of concept for the Surface
Redmond Town Center - I stayed here
Looking towards the center of the plaza, where there's this cool oval overhang
Play area

Liked the composition of this picture. Looking down from the upper level down to the plaza.
I was heading out to dinner when I saw the sun putting some neat colors in the clouds. I literally ran to the top of this parking structure, but by the time I got up here, the colors had basically all bud diminshed.
A look back towards the Town Center from the top of the parking structure
Inside the lobby where I took my training
Inside the Building 35 cafeteria - more business-y folk here. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer have their offices in Building 34.


Looking back at Building 34 after Andrew and I were unable to get to the fifth floor of the building (where the execs have their offices)
More Master Chief.
More Redmond Town Center. Did I mention that you're not supposed to take pictures at the Redmond Town Center? A security guard actually accosted me about it.
SeaTac has this really nice eating area which has this huge view out to the runway. The way the picture came out, it looks really dark, but that's just the contrast created by the large amount of natural lighting.



I had a great seat on the flight home. Window, not over a wing, right when the sun was starting to set. Here's the Golden Gate.
San Francisco
Clouds over the bay.
