It’s a verb, a noun, an adjective and nothing if not an enigmatic company; the greatest place for a hacker to work, a pattern for the future, and more romantically, a cathedral awaiting Alan Turing’s soul. In January, I’ll be heading to NYC for a few months of working with the Google Maps Team—it’s hard not to be a little excited.

Once again it is that my life has taken a bizarre and unpredictable turn. Surprise is the flavour that keeps one anchored in the present; I have no complaints.

  1. Mike, I think this one of the best examples of creating your own co-op job that I’ve heard. I think for many people there is a lesson to be learned here. It always pleases me to see the hard working rewarded for their effort. Congratulations.

  2. That’s great Mike– be sure to post photos of the ‘inside’ when you get there. Congratulation’s!

  3. Thanks Terrill and Philip, I’m really pleased and excited as well; I’ll post up a few pics if they’ll let me.
