I'm in Chico, which brings back so many (sort of fuzzy) memories, taking a class that culminates in certification as a Localization Project Manager, which is a nice specialization to add to my pretty solid generalist software / infrastructure experience. The folks in this course have flown in from Singapore, Germany, and Argentina... and I thought my drive up from Berkeley was a drag. The teachers so far have been really great - so nice to be actually interested in class here in a place where I wasn't very interested before.
There are a couple of things that I am attracted to about this specialization: the international aspect (interesting input about different cultures, potential for fun travel) and the language aspect. Like my sister (and father and mother and so on...) I am a big language nut. Porter calls it being a "word geek."
This area near my hotel was all just rocks and dirt when I last lived here, but is now full of condos and shops and businesses. Wild.
And could it be hotter? Well, I suppose it could be humid, like, say Austin! I do not love the heat, so maybe that's another data point about moving.
