That's a big dog...

Only at Google.

Today I was walking across the hallway when I saw a lady hugging this really huge dog (think waist high), until I realized it was a pony! And there were also a few roosters and chickens around. I thought I was going bonkers.

So it turns out that this is a party for Googlers who help out in various ways outside of their normal job scope, and this was a way to (1) attract attention so that other Googlers know about this, and (2) entertain Googlers as there is some strange appeal to looking at farm animals gaze grass, poop, and walk around in the sun. In any case, there were also goats, bunnies, ducks, and a pig.

Only at Google.

Non-Noogler Update

I am a week away from being a three month-old Googler, and currently I call myself the "non-noogler" (but not yet a googler). Things that I have done so far:

• 151 unique drinks in Googleplex found and drank
  
• Have jogged, cycled and driven from home to Google
• Felt like I can change the world with my work after seeing the launch of my team's product
  
• Have zealously promoted Google products to friends until wife now rolls her eyes whenever I mention 1-800-Goog-411 but forget to mention yelp
• Commented that I "only" had halibut for lunch - ya'know, nothing special
• Changed to using ion3 as my windows manager
• Met Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, and Second Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts
• Got to know about 10 Singaporean googlers, including Meng
• Attended numerous meditation classes/sessions at Google
• Missed two company trips. One to Hawaii, and another to Disney Land
• Loving it here
