Google Irvine had an open house two years ago, before the troubles. Similar feel as this one, it seems, and worthwhile for anyone interested.

I especially enjoyed Stephen Adams' talk. The other two were very interesting, but much broader overviews of Google technologies. Adams really drilled down into the nitty gritty tricks he used to decrease the size of Chrome updates.

In contrast, a large portion of Chee Chew's talk was basically a Google engineer walking through how to attach documents and use video chat in Gmail.

I really hope they do more of these talks. As a UW student, it's thrilling to be able to hop on a bus and go rub shoulders with Googlers.

This is totally off topic, but you don't have an email address in your profile. So I'll ask it here:

How easy is it for a non-student to "unofficially" drop into a CS class in UW? Will the professors find out and call the security/cops?

[Edit:mongoose has answered me by email. Thanks!]
