Two weeks at Google have been... amazing.  There's a lot that I can't talk about, but I can feel comfortable in confirming some of the things you hear about Google:

• The people are insanely smart.
• The scale blows your mind as a Noogler (new Googler).
• The food is great.
• It has culture.

I'm a "Site Reliability Engineer" which is a job title that may not exist anywhere else.  It's basically production-oriented operational engineering: keeping production systems running and making them run better.

Ann and I have found a new place, so we'll be moving there from the corporate housing next week.  It'll be nice to get our stuff back and get settled in.
