Christine Songco, a technical project manager at Google, invited me to visit Google’s San Francisco office today which opened just over year ago and is located on The Embarcadero with a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco Bay. Several people who work out of that office, including some old friends, joined us for lunch, which of course at Google is always a great experience.

Some of the projects that operate out of Google San Francisco are Google Code, Google App Engine and Google.org, the philanthropic arm of the company.

As with Google’s main headquarters in Mountain View, photography is restricted for the most part, but I was able to take a few photos in the lobby and of Google’s slide between floors (in fact I came home with a souvenir scraped elbow from the slide).

You know this girl! :-)

Sorry I can't give out any info, but I really can't for now.
Else, I'd lose a few friends.

Haven't commented here in ages, but still a fan and a regular, as is evident from the shameless similarity between your original blog and our derivative one, and my disproportionate knowledge of artists like Zhan Wang. :-)

You should head east and set up shop in NYC.
The art scene here is way cool too.

And, once and for all, maybe someone should blurt a few not so cool truisms about Google that appear to be hushed in the endless ecstacy of the never-ending dot-com afterglow.

Enjoy your holiday.
Cheers.
