I’ve been in the CIT, aka Geek Heaven, for the last few hours, designing logic gates and writing up truth tables for my CS31 class: Intro to Computer Systems.
I’d just about had it trying to unravel this problem involving something called a Karnaugh Map, and was going to take a break anyway, when I got an IM from the system administrator that Google Bought Us All Pizza. Sure enough, when I went to the back of the lab, there were four gorgeous Pizza Pie-er pizzas, Pepsis (a shame), and Google colored plastic glasses, plates, and paper napkins.
Yet more evidence that Google is the coolest company on the face of the planet.
Sidenote: there was much geeky joking about how, if Microsoft bought us pizza, only half of it would taste good, and only half the time. If we wanted something to eat it on, we had to buy Microsoft pizza-specific plates for which they’d charge us by the hour. If we wanted to save it and reheat it tomorrow, the pizza would refuse to reheat in anything but a Microsoft microwave. And the like…
UPDATE: Ha! It’s called the Google Pizza Ambassador program. Google is one of the few companies that would truly tempt me to want to work for them, long-term. Guess I’ll have to be content to just be a stockholder.
