Just got back from the party Rony (CEO of Indeed.com) threw. Nothing overly fancy about his house, but it was a pretty big one story house decorated with a very distinct asian feel (rock garden, buddhas, really neat ceramic sculptures). The thing that threw me was the view from his patio deck - I really don’t think I’ve seen a sight more beautiful in Austin. You could see for miles of dense forest with a few houses scattered throughout, and the sunset was just amazing.

It was really great to see some of my more intense coworkers in a relaxed setting. Seeing them play with their kids, or just kicking back with them and chatting about random stuff was a refreshing change of pace. Evidently us interns weren’t the only ones who now feel compulsed to say “DOT COM!” after anyone says “indeed”! Ohoh! And I found another TAMS couple =O Yeah, my direct supervisor and his wife evidently met at TAMS. Eek. I talked a bit with his daughter though, and she has no plans to go so no second-generation TAMSters I guess xP

But yeah, I had a lot of fun - and I’m really glad to be working @ indeed =).

Fun fact: We talked about how they chose the name Indeed.com and evidently they were contemplating getting Woot.com (before the current website bought it) but they thought it was too techy xP
