Since I’m in the process of (finally!) organizing my photos, I found these ones that I never got to upload — from last year (2011) on a business trip with Denis Lowe and Rowan Jacobson: at the time Cognitive Match was just opening their offices in Palo Alto so we turned up for 2 weeks to make sure everything was right 
We started in San Francisco:
First morning though saw us being transformed into proper “Silicon Valley boys” as we had some live production environment issues to sort out — nothing spells Silicon Valley more than a bunch of geeks with Mac’s in a hotel lobby
Luckily we got that sorted quickly — with enough time to head off to Napa Valley… via Golden Gate Bridge 
Finally we made it to Napa — with time to visit about 4 wineries and have a few private tasting sessions too:
Monday was then time to finally step in the new Cognitive Match office in Palo Alto — which at the time wasn’t exactly kitted up for us
I’m not gonna make it any comments on what Rowan and Amit were doing here though
On the way back to London, we took another short trip to San Francisco:
Obviously had to visit a few tourist attractions 
And then roam freely for a few hours around the city…
And had to experience some more Californian wine — check out the awesome colors!!!
