Archive for the 'General' CategoryGeneral posts When Seth Godin, a famous marketing guy, joined Yahoo in 1998 when Yahoo! bought his company, he was just another new guy to me, so I didn't make any special effort to chat with him when I'd see him around the office.

They had a little event in the morning at which we picked up keys and such (some people showed up with suitcases), and then the place was ours. It was wonderful to be able to finally see inside, and while I'm sure I'm looking at things with rose-colored glasses, that's just fine with me. I love everything about this building, the company that made it, and about our unit within it. I'd been a bit worried about the lack of a view, [...]
