Been thinking about our upcoming move to Austin, TX. We’ll be there by mid-December.
Looks like our neighborhood, Bouldin Creek, will be an interesting one. It’s close to the (apparently trendy) SoCo area as well as downtown.
Been putting dots on a map for places of potential interest.
Of course, much of my interest focuses on coffee and beer, at this point. But I often find out that this type of focus is a great way to learn a new place.
hope to see you one last time at the Yulblog next week, before your big leave!
Yup, I should go to the next Yulblog meeting. Then, I’ll be moving my “blog karma” to Austin’s blogging scene! 😉
Nice use of Google Maps. I should do one of these for my neighborhood!
It’s quite easy to do and it can be pretty useful.
Bien vous allez découvrir un nouvel environnement, ça devrait être intéressant! Je te souhaite de trouver de quoi aussi côté boulot, à moins que tu as déjà quelque chose ?
Rien de trouvé pour l’instant. Sauf de l’enthousiasme, de ma part. 😉
Good luck with the move. I’ve never been to Austin, but it sounds like a cool city. (Probably not cool in the sense of lower temparatures, but cool in the sense of having a diverse population and cultural scene.)
I couldn’t help but think of a blogger I was reading who was from Austin, but seems to have left the blogosphere. She had an Austin-related blog where you might find some interesting things, including some pub/restaurant reviews. She also has quite a lot of Austin-related links in her blogroll.
Thanks for the links!
So far, I’ve mostly been in touch with Austin’s brewing community but I am now in touch with members of the coffee scene (and, obviously, some academic contacts). Our neighborhood will be a fun one.
As for temperature, well, I’ll miss Montreal’s. The current temperature is so nice…
