A Glimpse of the Googleplex


Jotham and I watched The Internship last night, because we thought the premise was hilarious: Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson working as interns in Google. Hehehe. And while there were many funny moments, there were also scenes that were less than edifying. I mean of course, this is the type of comedy these guys are known for.

In any case, a big part of why I liked the movie is that it was shot in Googleplex, the corporate headquarters of Google in California. I've read about the Google office in a Time magazine article, which detailed the many amenities that encourage play, and fun and creativity.

But seeing it on the big screen last night was just thrilling:  free gourmet meals, a beach volleyball court, tube slides,  nap pods, Google bikes -- I mean wow. It must be amazing to work there.
