Tonight after another day of DotNetNuke Training I went up to Mountain View to meet up with a friend for dinner. This friend used to live/race cars in St. Louis, but now lives out here in California and works for Google. I took the opportunity to drive up to the Google campus and take a look around a bit. I also realized that the exit for the Campus is the exit in which I got into my first car accident, back in 1995. We were on our way to a Live (the band) concert, and I ran into the stopped traffic at the exit, a friend then running into me.
Tonight we had dinner at an Italian place over on Castro, and then made our way back to campus so he could show me around a little bit. I had to take the opportunity for a photo of me standing out in front of this giant Android at the Android building on campus.
Talking with my friend was interesting, hearing about the culture and things going on at Google. Nothing secret, though I did try to pry, he wouldn’t spill anything! I’m once again motivated to start working on an Android application, maybe I’ll get to do that over the next week. I would try to spend my flight to Rhode Island on Sunday doing this, but I know the battery in this laptop won’t last me long enough on the flight.
I’ve got one more day of training, tomorrow, and then Friday I’m off to have some fun for the day.
