Google Comes To Case

Today was a pretty long day with three classes and two special lectures: one on Cabaret with a special emphasis on German Cabaret and another from a Case-alum-turned-Googler who came and gave us a presentation on everyone's favorite search engine. My suitemates, who were fortunate enough to attend last year's talk, said that the presentation was essentially the same, but I enjoyed it all the same. There were some fun little insights into the way Google is run and the attitude that drives things. I have to say that Google is one of the few companies that makes me regret being an aerospace engineer. They do, apparently, have some room for mechanical engineers, but aside from cooling their computer stacks, I doubt that they have much use for my aero skills. I could tell myself that my web design skills might be of use, but, again, I would probably be deluding myself. At least I have Cornell to look forward to. Also, I have Google swag. A fellow Case student already has some photos of the event up, many of which include myself and my suitemates. Sadly, it's pretty obvious in those pictures that I need some more sleep. Which explains why I'm posting this instead of sleeping, right?
