This post inspired by Penny’s. (If you want to see the insides of even more fridges, try Fridgewatcher.com. What will we think of sharing next?)
Picture taken after our weekly shopping trip at the market, which accounts for the large amount of fruit and vegetables. ( I should take another picture next Saturday morning pre-shopping.)
The only meat in this fridge at the moment is some roo and canned meat for Paco’s dinners.
Note the beer. (Mmmm…. beeeeeer…)
Quote (translated from German publication) by Vint Cerf, Google vice president and chief internet evangelist on the religious overtones of his job title:
Humanity should understand the blessings of the internet. Our history shows: the more people go online, the more flat hierarchies are becoming. The more people join, the more free the world will be. Indeed I have almost religious faith in this.
And, a tip, should you be considering getting a job with Google:
When applying for a job with Google, Vint mentions it’s a plus if you have some special ability on the side; like being member of an ice skating group, or having gone through vocals training, or having an interest in animals. Vint adds that Google employees are a real team but that you won’t find a casual job with them, as they work on the highest level.
The interview was published in Zurich, in the Swiss publication Das Magazin. No, my German isn’t up to translating any German publications into English - the translation is Philipp Lenssen’s on Google Blogoscoped.
