Meetings gallore...

Salut,

this is a small morning quickie, to show you that I'm still alive, I survived an incredible number of hours sitting at meetings for a single day. A bunch of us (from Google Montreal) are here (Mountain View, Ca, in the silicon valley) to pick the next project we will work on... So we are courted by a few projects that we will get to choose from.

It is interesting to see how we are openly given a choice of what we will work on, yet reminded that what the corporate priority would be, trying to influence the choice a little bit... But so far, we are still free to choose... Though they expect us to be at least 5 on the same project for it to make sense to have people in Montreal working on it, so our freedom is kind of limited by the freedom of the others...

So it will be interesting to see what comes out of this... But I surely wouldn't this to sound like a complaint what so ever, I know that in most other normal companies, you don't 'really' get to choose what you work on, you are being assigned... Google is so cool...'

Well, I'll finish by letting you know that I'm typing this in my bed while GG is watching my my head laying on a pile of pillows using the newly released Google Talk Video, have youn tried it? It is really good... Try it... You'll see... And you'll see VERY CLEARLY... Google rules!!! :-)

BYE
MAD
