Transportation Guidelines In French

Today, in addition to all the normal "sitting in a chair reading APIs and documentation and writing small pieces of code for practice" stuff that I've been doing all week, I went to an event that apparently occurs each week on Friday afternoons (TGIF, if you missed the title), and which is essentially a huge company-wide meeting with Larry and Sergei (and other people walking up to answer specific questions or discuss specific topics). They stood up in front of everyone and talked about some new product launches, the Developer Day that happened the day before, and a few extra things. I can't talk about a lot of the things they said, and I won't bother listing the product launches (because you can find them yourself if you really want to), but it was pretty cool and they were pretty funny all around. At the end, they took questions both from the audience and online, which ranged from policy/internal workings questions to "can we please get rid of the damn gradients that make all the Google Apps look like MS Office?" That question got an agreeable response, and apparently it is going to be gotten rid of very soon (oh, look at that, they're already gone). I considered walking up and asking them to get rid of the 'i' in iGoogle, but the line was already formed. I'll ask next week if it's still up.

Not a lot else to say, except that I'm going to be pretty bored over the weekend. Oh well, plenty of reading to do (they gave us textbooks!).
