The Nap Pod Awakens: Sweet Dreams

If you've ever toured one of the Google Campuses, you may have seen one of our "Nap Pods" designed to let folks get a short refresher nap if they are feeling the need.  There happens to be one such pod right outside my office.  With someone's legs sticking out, it often looks an awful lot like pacman just ate an employee.

Several of the search folks got together yesterday and we brought our little nap pod to life.  It's a bit cheesy largely because we were limited to the primary colors of electrical tape we had on hand.  I still think it turned out great.  Either way, the process was definitely a lot of fun.  What do you think?

Android Plan B: Public Service Announcement

If you don't run an android phone, this post is probably not for you.  I just learned today of an awesome Android App called Plan B which you can install after losing your phone (stolen, left in a cab, forgot where you left it, etc) and then your phone will email you it's location.  Might save someone their phone one day, I thought this was pretty awesome.
