Recent University of Minnesota Computer Science graduate, Anthony Nemitz,
decided that California was the place to be after finishing college this spring.
So, he packed up his bags and made the move while Twittering about the
transition.
Here’s a play by play of the trip from

In just over a week, Anthony managed to move 1900 miles by car, survive a night
in Reno, and find a new job, all while staying connected with friends through
Twitter using Twitter.com, his cell phone, and Facebook.
It sounds like he still may be homeless – or sleeping on a friend’s couch – but
he’s clearly made a successful transition to Silicon Valley while finding time
to watch a few movies.
