It&#8217;s amazing how special a place downtown Palo Alto is; for being a part of a vast megalopolis, it&#8217;s a charming downtown with a small-town feel and a surprisingly connected place. I ran into at least six people I knew in the short time I was down there tonight, and got an introduction to a robotics group at MIT just by sitting in a chair and talking to some friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is kind of the experience I had when I first came out to the Bay as an intern, 25 years ago (more or less); I had just arrived, was hungry, but restaurants were busy, so I took a seat at a restaurant bar, the only space available &#8230; but no sooner had I sat down than I got offered a job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, technically, I sat down and cracked open a very technical book, and the person sitting next to me didn&#8217;t offer me a job, but did give me their card and let me know their startup was hiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you get the picture &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-the Centaur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another neat little place in downtown Palo Alto.
