This morning there was a new banner over the entrance of JF3. It’s part of the ad campaign started last week with the Intel Rock Star video.
I don’t know what this campaign does for the rest of you, but it makes me proud to work at Intel. :-)
Intel Rock Star
Friends and family ask what it’s like working at Intel. It’s a lot like this… ;-)
Update: Mike Rogoway’s (of The Oregonian) take on Intel’s ad.
Update 2: Ha! Google likes me! This post shows up in the number two slot on a Google search for “intel rockstar.” I wonder how long that will last…

Intel Jones Farm Walking Routes
I mapped a few simple walking routes in and around the Intel Jones Farm campus. Imagine my surprise to find the routes have nice distances of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 miles.
Now I have more exercise options. ;-)

Lunch Walk
I’ve started walking after lunch or for 1:1s.
According to Google maps, it’s almost exactly one mile.

Tour de Intel Oregon Site
I wanted to do a longer bike ride today (I failed last week) so I mapped this one out before I left. According to Google, this ride is a hair over 26 miles.
View Larger Map at Google MapsThis ride took me by Intel’s Oregon campuses. Intel’s Oregon site is its largest because it includes all of these campuses.
The bike ride was wonderful! Under 70°F, no wind, and clouds blocking the direct sun. A perfect day to ride.
Happy Birthday, Intel
Intel turns 40 today. Engadget honors the event with a “new” Intel logo.
Happy birthday, Intel!
Disclosure: I am employed by Intel (at least I was before this post…).

Intel’s New Cubes
Intel is experimenting with brighter, lower, smaller “cubicles” and workspaces. The new layout is intended to improve collaboration and avoid the “rat maze” look of typical cubes. It will be interesting to see whether it works or instead, increases distractions.
I’m staying in the old-style cubes, but attended the open house today with Josh Bancroft, who took pictures and will be moving in shortly.
Update: MediumTall also blogged the open house. He embeds a news video that shows Josh and me at 0:20!
Update 2: Josh posts some of the pictures he took of on TinyScreenfuls.com. I even took one of those pictures. Can you guess which one?
