Bathroom remodel done (99.9%)



 My lovely wife and are 99.9% done with the bathroom remodel work over at my bother-in-law's house. We started it a few weeks back and are now pretty much done. There are always a few little things to tidy up. I was surprised how it turned out, it looks good. We used self-adhesive stick floor tiles and those suckers are amazingly sticky.

I would love to work for Google...

I just watched about 10 videos on YouTube on different Google workplaces. Result: I would love to work for Google. I am a Software Developer and have been one for quite a while. I really like what I do and I feel we use cutting edge products and technologies but Google takes it further than the rest. Besides the cool workplace, the cool people and the good food; what really turns me on about Google is the environment of ideas. I think I come up with pretty good ideas but I don't fool myself thinking they are all great but I know some are. I love sharing my ideas with people, getting feedback, but it would be level 4 cool if once in a while if one took off. Sorry for sounding like a 5th grader writing a book report. 
Go to YouTube and check out a few videos on Google, start with "Google Datacenter" and there will be plenty of suggested video off to the side there. It's interesting to see the hardware and the people behind the scenes of the 'internet' or at least Google's part of it.

I don't know where this workplace is, after all... I just Googled the image and now you're looking at it.

This is a room at a Google workplace in Zurich Switzerland. I could hang in here.

What are the odds... ?

I am sometimes way too amused by small and simple things, please indulge me. I literally tossed (pretty much) some ice into my water cup at work and this is how the ice landed and got jammed. I waited about 2 minutes for one ice mass to melt enough to give way. After 2 minutes I bashed them all into the cup. Crazy stuff.

Glass Words 01

What you are reading was written from the other side of the glass partition backwards by the guy on the other side. He writes a new one about every other day.

WARNING - HOT WATER

I present to you the world's most unusable hot water spigot. The old coffee maker had the hot water spigot right on the front and it poured out tons of hot water. 
This guy is tucked away up underneath the top part and the opening is 1/4" away from the metal part it comes out of. I can barely get two hands in there. One hand to work the spigot and the other to hold the thing I'm trying to put hot water in. AND... the hot water just dribbles out.
Please notice that the whole coffee maker is turned to the left just to get to it as it is normally 3" away from the right wall keeping it well-hidden.
