      <title>New Digs</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
Last weekend, TransZap moved from our old offices near Denver's Civic center to our new location at 1999 Broadway. The new offices are definitively a step up from the previous ones (which were actually pretty decent to start with). The new offices are located into a very nice office tower located at the northern edge of downtown. Yet, we are still really close to the 16th street mall. This move generated a lot of excitement at TransZap, and it went very well with only a few minor issues.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The new building is in the middle of a major renovation. The common areas will be completely redecorated. There's going to be a cafe and a workout area on the second floor.  I intend to avoid the first and use the second. I can certainly use the exercise. A few other nice amenities are that a light rail line stops next to the building and that there's a Wahoo's Fish Tacos restaurant within a few blocks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://blog.fredjean.net/files/officeview-1.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://blog.fredjean.net/files/officeview-1.jpg','popup','width=1023,height=767,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=yes,left=0,top=0');return false"&gt;&lt;img src="http://blog.fredjean.net/files/officeview-1-tm.jpg" height="100" width="133" border="1" hspace="4" vspace="4" alt="Officeview-1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
One of the result of the move is that every one has their own office, each with a window. It's a big improvement from working in the hallway. I have a pretty decent view out of the window. On a good day, the brown cloud isn't too bad and I can almost see the King Suppers near my house. If I twist just right, I can even see the Flat Irons.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Mollie and I now carpool to work. Mollie is now starting a little later than she used to. She gets to sleep a little more, I don't have to wake up any earlier. Carpooling allows us to ride the HOV lane into downtown, which allows us to avoid the I-25 parking lot. I do get to the office a little earlier than I used to, but it also means that I can leave earlier than I used to. At the end of the day, we both meet at her parking garage and ride out.
&lt;/p&gt;
