In case you needed proof that I really am a nerd:

Not the main campus or anything (at least I shouldn’t think so, very small), just a satellite office I stumbled on after making a wrong turn somewhere… actually, I turned here off of a road that had a sign that read “Google Parking ->” — and my first thought was, “Google Parking” — is that a new service? I suppose they provide a free valet in exchange for the right to search your trunk and chronicle the contents of your glove compartment?

This one I took from the road, I think (hope) I was at a red light and not trying something really stupid:

I think this was just one of probably two or three Yahoo buildings I saw. These were just a handful of the tech companies we saw: Netgear, Ask, McAffee, Unisys (for whom the question “just what the hell do they do” still looms large), AMD, and I can’t remember who else. Most of the buildings were seen from the road where getting a picture was inconvenient.

Of course on the way up towards Berkeley I saw some sports stadium that had Oracle’s name plastered all over it. And then there were some sort of cool tech billboards popping up around the area. Well, not cool in and of themselves, just neat because you wouldn’t see them around here, things like ads for Logitech.

Oh, and apparently “The Algorithm is Running for President and Commanding Satan’s Army” … or something like that.
