Jot Thought

Borrowing a grandiose phrase from one of our clients, we have upgraded from our “starter” office and now have moved into Esomnie’s World Headquarters at 883 N. Shoreline Blvd, Suite B110, Mountain View CA 94043. We’re in a small four-building campus up the road from Google. There are a couple of picnic tables outside and the startup next door likes to barbecue on a grill they brought in.

So why the move? Two reasons:

1. We wanted to be closer to a train station with good baby bullet service, especially for people coming down from the city (like Dean.) Mountain View and Redwood City are the best for that. Funny thing, but downtown Sunnyvale, which is great for people heading north on CalTrain, is terrible for people coming from the city. We just never paid close enough attention before. Now we’re less than 3/4 of a mile from the Mountain View station, which works out great.
2. Having good lunch options turned out to be way more important that we originally thought. Our old location had very few places nearby, which meant quite a bit of driving. Now we’re back closer to downtown Mountain View and all the old places we used to haunt. We can even reuse a little Ning app for MV lunch options I created a while back when frustrated by the Intuit cafeteria (Yelp didn’t have quite the coverage yet.)

We’re still not fully moved in, since we’ve only hung 1 of our 4 whiteboard panels, but it’s a much nicer space. Next step: Dean’s going to help us pick out a coffee machine:-)
