Slide into Google
kho’s excellent piece on the Google acquisition of Slide. For the most part, I’m keeping my big mouth shut for fear of saying something I shouldn’t, so I’ll just link to this and say: “Hurrah!”

Slide’s Code: 2004-2010
Inspired by Daniel Bogan's visualization of the Flickr codebase (http://vimeo.com/11876335), I pulled together this view of Slide's code repository since the first commit on 01-Sep-2004.
Branches are directories, blobs are files (coloured by file type -- swfs are green, python is pale blue, etc), and the buzzing-around things are committers.

SuperPoke Sheep baseball cap
The rather natty cap us Sliders have been given to wear, whilst enjoying this afternoon's Giants game. Hurrah for working two blocks from AT&T Park!

New art was hung yesterday in the lobby at 301 Brannan. Bonus: You'll have something to read while waiting for the elevator (it incorporates a page from "A Projection of Species Extinction")

“Flow Slow Could Flood”
This is written on a pipe at Slide. After walking past it, I always get the phrase stuck in my head, because I like the sound of it. To me, it sounds like it should be some mythical warrior: "The Amazing Stories of Floslo Cüdfludd".
