You might think the excitement would stop there for the day, but you would be wrong. After filming this video clip, I found myself casually chatting with Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It was all luck really. I was hanging out with an intern friend of mine who is working on some cool research for Google. Many of the secret projects within Google get a fair amount of executive attention, and my friend's project is no exception. Thus, my friend and I were catching up this afternoon and suddenly Larry and Sergey stroll up together right next to us. It's a good thing their eyes were initially scanning the area for stuff about the project, because I think I saw them and my jaw literally dropped open. Honestly, they look and interact like a couple of overgrown college nerds who have been friends for years (surprise! This statement in-of-itself is factual... but people are still consistently surprised to hear it's true). After the initial shock wore off quickly, we proceeded to have a completely normal conversation with them -- well, I mostly listened since it was about the project. Yet it was one of the most surreal experiences I have had at Google to date.
Tomorrow is my last day already. Wow.
