The view from my window has changed a lot of recent. Through my office window there's been St. Giles and Covent Garden in the snow ...

... and Hanger One on Moffett Field, one of the world's largest free-standing structures.

Through my hotel window I've seen the Chrysler Building in New York at sunrise ...

...  and Silicon Valley on a cold, foggy and damp morning ...

But of all the view I've seen through my window, I think I prefer this one most of all, because it's home.

Looking out of my hotel window I can see into the heart of Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale. What do you mean it's fairly uninspiring? East of here is Mountain View, home of the Google-plex, west of here is the Yahoo! mothership, which is the reason I'm here and to the south is Cupertino, and 1 Infinite Loop, the home of Apple.

OK, so that is fairly uninspiring and nondescript. This one is much more interesting. This is the view from my temporary cube in the middle of the Yahoo! campus, looking out over Moffett Field.

That oval looking building in the middle is Hanger One which is one of the world's largest freestanding structures. It may not look that impressive but it's almost 3 miles away; it covers 8 acres, is around 1100 feet long, around 300 feet wide and around 200 feet high. It's big.

And that's a much more impressive and interesting view out of the window.
