Daily Photo - A Great Day at the Google HQ!
Wow that was a cool experience. Those guys and gals over there are super-nice. You never know... I guess maybe Google seems somewhat intimidating from the outside, but after I met guys like Cliff, Brian, and Chip -- I felt right at home.
I gave an hour-long talk in one of their theaters there. It was super-packed and people were standing all around because seats were gone. We were graced with the presence of one Sara Jane Todd from @Peachpit to help out selling books - and we sold out! Also, my Brazilian friend Fabio, the editor of Abduzeedo was there too, so it was great to see him.
The Authors@Google (video link) program has a neat deal where they subsidize books, so Googlers don't have to pay full price. I saw all kinds of cool stuff and took a lot of pics. I have to get most cleared with Google Corp Comms before I can release... but I nabbed shots of a spaceship, a new pseudo-holodeck, and more mysteries await! We even got to eat lunch there in the Google cafeteria, which had some of the most excellent food I've ever had in such a setting... they even have a small organic farm on the campus... well, I could go on and on... but I was very impressed and happy to meet so many enthusiastic people!
The video should be done in the next 2-3 weeks or so. We've got good-man Brian at Google slaving away on editing the whole thing together!

Hi, I’m an admin for a group called The Knight and his Princess (Admins invite only) P 1 – A/C 1, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Stunning work!
Trey – Here’s a few things I know.
1 – You know I hate you more than anything I have ever hated or will hate, and I know you know this.
2 – My life also hates your life. Deeply. It actually resents your life.
3 – You are one of the only "Big name" guys around that lets people see their work in all sizes including "Original". I suspect this is because most "Big Names" don’t want us looking too closely at their work for fear we might see a few flaws. But your stuff doesn’t stink so you’re fearless.
I’ve said it before but it can’t be said enough – You are the Best brother.
…and I still hate you.
hehe thanks mate – you are too funny
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called I like your style! (1 Post – 1 Com – 1 Inv) – PLAY CONTESTS, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
