Lunch 2.0

Welcome to Lunch 2.0!

Filed under: lunch 2.0 — markjen @ 6:03 pm

Hello everyone. Here’s the definition of Lunch 2.0:

a social phenomenon referring to a migration of web 2.0 company employees to other offices around the Silicon Valley area; characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share food and ideas, and “the lunch as a conversation”

As we roam around to different offices, we’ll be keeping this blog up to detail our adventures and our growing group. Anyone who attends a Lunch 2.0 is eligible to become a contributing writing on this blog and everyone who reads this blog is implicitly invited to all Lunch 2.0 events :)
Welcome to Lunch 2.0… you are now free to eat around the valley.

    Lunch2.0 isn’t really new, just updated with current technology. In the ’60s at HP a bunch of us HP lab folks would roam around the Stanford Inductrial Park comparing cafeterias, they weren’t free but heavily subsidized. Can you believe we conned our way into the Lockheed lunchroom by saying we were part of a study group from HP doing a comparative analysys on cafeteria offerings?

    Lunch2.0 isn’t all that new, just upgraded to current technology. In the ’60s a bunch of us engineers, always dissatisfied with the fare at our own cafeteria would roam around the Stanford Industrial Park to partake of others. It wasn’t free but heavily subsidized. I remember one time we conned our way into Lockheed stating that we were conducting a survey on cafeterias for compartive menus; I don’t think we had to pay for that one.
