The other blog I recommend is Brad De Long's. Of course, I'm a Cal alumni, so the fact that he's a professor at Cal scores plenty of points with me.

Heard Dylan Casey talk at the Western Wheelers club meeting. A fun guy! I got him to autograph a card for Lisa. He wrote on it: "Lisa, will you be my stoker?" The rest of the guys at the club teased me about how Lisa wants a more powerful Captain.... He climbs Old La Honda road in 13 minutes. Lisa & I do it in about 31 minutes. I should time myself one of these days. Maybe I can do it in 25 minutes, but I don't think I can do much better.
Day 3 at Google, first bike commute. It was supposed to be 10 miles, but getting lost and going on exit too far on Stevens Creek Trail put me at 11 miles. Not too bad. Still took 40 minutes or so, though. The nice thing is when we move to the SGI building, that'll shave a couple of miles off my commute.

Day 2 at Google. I ran into Jeff Dean, one of my grad. school cohorts. Turned out that he was on my hiring committee. I told him that I was surprised that he didn't say, "Hey, I know that guy, he dropped out of grad. school!" He said, "That's exactly what I said!"
Wandering around all the buildings, I was impressed by how big the company is. I easily got lost just walking around. I guess this is what happens when you've spent most of your career at startups and other small companies. Google is easily the biggest company I've ever worked at, since my internship at Bellcore 12 years ago.
