The Chinese Elements in the Ceremony (3)
on Wangjianshuo's blog (4) permalinkAfter the Opening Ceremony of XXIX Olympic Games in Beijing is over for 48 hours, I am thinking about the little difference people in China and foreign audience may react to the same event. I believe there must be some difference because of the different cultural background, and difference in other experiences. For example, the Chinese may react a little bit more modest to the event than the western viewers because people get used to ...Contribute comment

Calvin and Jobs Kick Steve's Nuts [Cartoon] (47)
on Gizmodo (5326) permalinkI don't know if comic strip genius Bill Watterson would like this version of his worldwide-beloved Calvin and Hobbes/Jobs—who morphs from philosophical tiger to killer CEO—, but we approve. Actually, it made me laugh and wish for new strips. The drawing may not be as good as the original, but Jobs' physique and attitude feels absolutely spot on. Update: another series after the jump.

A different inspiration : Masters of digital painting (4)
on designfeedr (5) permalinkWhile I always look at (web) design and illustration for inspiration I’ve also often been inspired by totally different things. At first I thought I was just a weird one, but when I was over at fellow blogger Liam’s site I noticed that I’m not the only one with a knack for different inspiration sources. This pulled me over the edge to do a showcase on digital painting, something I’ve been following for years now. ...Contribute comment

谷歌员工如何调换座位 (28)
on Google 黑板报 -- Google 中国的博客网志 (82) permalink发表者: 谷歌广告联盟在线销售部门 廖溪 我会以尽量平静的心情来描写如何在谷歌公司调换座位，因为这个事情真的是很难让人平静，起码对于上周的 AdSense 部门来说，是这样。我刚从美国回来的时候，同学们就纷纷表达了“怨恨”之情，说大家很早就喊着要调位置了，就是因为你没有回来才一直等着拖着，我错了，大家多吃我带回来的巧克力。后来我的老板安妮（名称全部使用化名，我现起的）忍不住了，在周三的时候跑到了这次负责换位置的小安前面，说你本周五之前必须搞定，不然……小安是个广东银，我们部门的技术大拿，很快他就出炉了他的座位调整方案，偶滴神啊，做技术的果然是很好很强大，大家请看:--------------------------------------------------------------尊敬的领导、同仁及同学，非常抱歉拖了这么久都没有换位置，但是现在终于要换了，这次位置调整采取的是大家曾经非常熟悉的高考志愿填报方法。方案如下：大家根据喜好，填报座位志愿。但是为了保证能达到让同事互相了解，不要产生扎堆的现象。故我将所有座位划分成了 4 个区域，在填报志愿的时候，请你们务必在每个区都挑一个位置。如果有出现在同一个区域挑 2 个或以上位置的，该项志愿无效。请访问 http:/*************，按一下那个抽签的按钮，系统会生成一个随机数，这个就是你的成绩，将决定你那个志愿可能录取。将你选好的座位号和你的成绩，填写到下列的表格中即刻提交。最后座位的安排是综合根据你填报的志愿优先顺序和你的成绩决定。先看志愿，如果有多个人选择同样的位置，再根据成绩决定。如果你运气不佳，4 个志愿都没轮上，只能服从组织分配了。不填写表格的，默认为服从分配。PS：附件是座位的分区表和座位编号，请在表格中填写座位编号。目前实习生的位置是不可选的，还有 trakken admin 的位置也是不可选的（我打不过 robot ）。如果你发现下面的表格无法使用，你可以使用以下链接https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=*************************最后，本次活动不禁止使用线下的力量，如果你可以利用你的人格魅力，让全团队的人都不选择你喜欢的位置，那么你即可顺利获得该座位。--------------------------------------------------------------------这个邮件发出来以后，真的是激起了 AdSense 大院的千层浪，群众沸腾了，我不得不再次平复一下我那砰砰乱跳的小鹿，用平静的语气再次真实的还原那个现场：1. 首先是随机生成分数。这个分数的区间是从 0 到 1000，同样是广东籍的加拿大帅哥“有劲”首先让我们叹为观止，人家直接拿了一个 970 多分，然后很低调地说，读个 MBA 看来还是有一些作用的。最低的是海先生，居然只有 68 分，连人家的零头都不到，鄙视一下……2. 随着分数的陆续出来，大家首先对分数是否代表人品这个问题进行了激烈而友好的讨论，最后这个问题被我和王姐所代表的 200 分俱乐部不了了之，当然，海先生也是我们的坚定的支持者之一。（题外话，小安的分数生成页面完全是他的风格，上面巨大的字写着“不至于吧，换座位而已！”而且那个分数和你的电脑 IP 相连，你不管这么刷新都是那个可怜的 235 分，我当时脑中回响的就是那熟悉的广东腔调普通话，后来大家表示均有同感，此处按下不表）。3. 蛇有蛇路，鳖有鳖路。分数高的肯定是指点江山，意气风发，像“有劲”同学就基本不用考虑什么战略和战术的问题，爷想坐哪里就是哪里，其他的高分俱乐部成员也是经过了友好的协商，看来高考报考留下的经验还是有一定作用的，大家不要抢同一个座位就好了。比较可怜的是我们这些低分的兄弟姐妹，一边怒骂小安的这个机制不合理，说要加上第一和第二志愿的加权影响，另外还要低眉顺眼的去打探“有劲”之流选的位置，同时还要暗中斗智斗勇，因为你只要确保大家第一志愿都不选你要的那个位置，你也可以低分读上一流的大学啦。像王姐长袖善舞，左右逢源地选到自己的座位，我就只能拍着桌子虚张声势的大喊谁抢我的位置我跟谁急了。（这个过程之激烈啊，我只能不停摇着扇子要自己冷静下来了）。4. 分数不同的众生相。和我一样的低分低能的小颗粒同学也是到处协商沟通，这几天随时都能听到他那爽朗的笑声，估计又是谁答应不坐他的破位置了（后来得知，人家傍上了 trakken robot 这颗大树，说生是 robot 的人，死是 robot 的鬼，就贴着那台电脑坐，别人不要妄想了）；须臾同学更绝，700 多分的高分拿出来当作选秀权进行交换，不停的引诱我拿点东西跟他交换，可怜我囊中羞涩实在是不能多贡献一包奶粉给他的大胖小子啊；人品一直没话说的 SK 同学也只有 100 多分，每天对着电脑百思不得其解。5. 老板选位置。在谷歌当老板很惨，开复也就分了一个电话亭大小的房间。我们的老板罗伊也是，一直坐在路边，人来人往打扰不说，还东冷夏热，这几年一到夏天就打开一个小的电风扇不停地吹，我们也不敢在他面前抱怨公司空调太大了，这个电风扇当年 Facility 几次要借去给开复，堪称谷歌第一抢手电风扇。其实我们也不是虐待老板，当年也分了一个大的会议室给他当办公室，但是老板说还是要和群众在一起，于是我们就分了一个大家都不要的位置给他了，还说是抓阄剩下的……其实也就是抓阄剩下的，因为那个位置没有参与我们之前抓阄的过程……6. 机关算尽的我。鉴于我桌上的东西太多太乱，我的第一目标就是保住这个位置，不停的进行外交活动，详细介绍我的位置的种种不好，说我边上虽然就是山景（抬头可见海淀的山景），但是这里的空调有问题，冬天热夏天冷，整个让你四季失调。这番游说很成功，人民群众都很给我面子没有去选这个位置。但是很不成功的地方在于，我的老板们都不在场，这就导致了一个后果——两个老板都选了我背后的位置，从此以后我后面就有了两大护法，左罗伊，右安妮，一般的牛鬼蛇神估计是不敢过来捣乱的了。大家对此的一致评论是：从此以后我们将看见一个无比勤奋的小廖……谷歌内部对人对事有一个评价的标准：一个事情办的好不好，还要看这个人或者这个事情是不是 “Googley”，对于这个公司内部的评价标准，我想这次的换座位事件应该能算有 “Googley”。以上为个人感受，感谢观赏。Shared by ashburn (11) Ben (37) Changming (28) Chris (77) Dev (155) est (103) Fenng (180) Fiorano (33) G (22) henry (8) Horse (39) ieruo (20) IN (45) IwfWcf (9) janglyang (20) KnarfJ (74) Moses (89) Robert Mao (68) RoCry (22) Scarlet (21) Snow (42) TopCat (31) Welbin (12) xingxing (6) 孙 (8) 猫影 (53) 白虎 (26) 绯村剑心 (9)Contribute comment
