My Summer Secret: Google Chrome

1 September, 2008 (17:09) | General | By: Bryce Boe

Two weeks into my Google Internship I, along with many other Googlers, became a holder of one very secret piece of information: Google Chrome. I’ve been dying to tell people about it all summer, fortunately I know better than to leak confidential information. However I no longer have to worry as Google Chrome was publicly [...]

Google: Week 9

27 August, 2008 (00:07) | General | By: Bryce Boe

Damn! It’s been 9 weeks so far. Well the fun has continued. Monday through Thursday was pretty standard. I advanced my project more, which I realized I haven’t mentioned much about my project. Well if you’re bored or interested in what I actually do checkout the work I’ve done. The number of results for this [...]

Google: Week 8

17 August, 2008 (19:05) | General | By: Bryce Boe

Week 8 was easily the most eventful week of the summer thus far. Just following last week’s post I received an email to checkout a 1996 Vdub GTI at 8 on Tuesday morning. I was very excited, but not thrilled to wake up around 6:45 as my normal wakeup time is 8:30. Anyway I test [...]

Google: Week 7

11 August, 2008 (23:42) | General | By: Bryce Boe

Last week wasn’t too shabby if you ignore the worrisome Wednesday. Not too much really happened, however I played volleyball on Thursday and that evening there was a booze cruise for the interns and, their hosts. As seemingly common with Googler only events, beer and wine were free. A few hours of Rock Band followed [...]

Google: Week 6 – Woah-oh We’re Half Way There!

5 August, 2008 (23:42) | General | By: Bryce Boe

Damn I’m late again! I never make my personal Sunday midnight deadline. If it’s any consolation I wrote most of this Sunday night, started editing Monday night, and finally finished it just now. Yes the end of week 6 signifies that my summer internship is half way complete, thus meaning I have another six awesome [...]

Google: Week 5

29 July, 2008 (01:10) | General | By: Bryce Boe

After just finishing my post on F8 I’m going to keep this one pretty short. I actually was only at Google 3 days last week because of F8 and I took Friday off to head down to Santa Barbara for a wedding. Anyway since I use IRC at work I discovered ERC which is a [...]

Google: Week 4

21 July, 2008 (20:26) | General | By: Bryce Boe

If you are visiting looking for information on Jaymie Darrow please see my previous entry: A Loss — RIP Jaymie Darrow Lately I have been writing my Google updates on Sunday, unfortunately after hearing of Jaymie’s death, I didn’t feel like writing about my week, and it still feels inappropriate to do so, but life [...]

Google: Week 3

13 July, 2008 (23:01) | General | By: Bryce Boe

First I would like to acknowledge my mother’s coworkers who started reading following last week’s bidet story. I hate to set the bar low, however I do not think I will be able to keep up to par with that level of humor. Anyway thanks for reading and please feel free to leave comments, as [...]

Google: Week 2

7 July, 2008 (01:20) | General | By: Bryce Boe

On Monday, I discovered pancake breakfast is pretty standard at the Moma Cafe and oh so delicious. Tuesday I had an awesome time playing volleyball. Lots happened Wednesday. I had my first experience with a modern bidet and I believe it went something like the following. I went into the bathroom to deuce it up, [...]

Google: Week 1

I’m going to try to give a brief week by week update on my Google adventure so here goes, with a few extras. As I mentioned previously, working at Google is much more amazing than everyone makes it out to be. Yes they do make it out to seem awesome, but imagine awesome-er, and your [...]
