Diary of a Summer Intern - Erika
August 15, 2011
やあ！
Two weeks ago, I had my first Japanese Summer holiday, 海の日
(umi no hi)
or Marine Day. 海の日is a national Japanese holiday that celebrates the many benefits with which the sea has blessed Japan and is a time to pray for the country’s prosperity. This week was the only holiday of my internship, so I took two extra days off and ventured westward to Hiroshima
prefecture
. My sister flew in from
Boulder, Colorado
, and we spent the long weekend with our relatives relaxing and enjoying delicious home-cooked meals. It was really great to get away from the city life for a few days and enjoy the famous Hiroshima-style
Okonomiyaki
, one of my favorite Japanese dishes. The day before my last day of vacation,
Typhoon Ma-on
struck southern Japan. The local trains within the city shut down for the day and we waited for the storm to pass. The typhoon passed through Hiroshima within the day and then moved eastward toward Tokyo. Fortunately, Typhoon Ma-on didn't quite hit Tokyo and the trains were running back on schedule in time for me to make it back to Tokyo for work on Thusrday. The next day, I boarded the four hour
shinkansen
bullet train ride and watched the various scenery pass by at speeds of 190 miles per hour.

towers over Erika outside Google's Mori Tower office.
Speaking of the 海 (
umi
, or ocean), the Google Tokyo engineers and product managers had a big off-site at the beach in
Enoshima
last week. We piled onto charter buses and made the two hour journey out to Enoshima. It was a lot of fun to hang out with my coworkers outside of the office while enjoying Japanese-style barbecue, beach volleyball and of course, the beautiful water of the
Sagami Bay
. I also got to play the
Suikawari game
for the first time, which is a common Japanese game played at beach parties. The basic idea of the game is to split open a watermelon with a bat while blindfolded. Spectators try to direct (or misdirect) the player towards the watermelon lying somewhere on the beach before he or she takes a swing. If they're successful, we all enjoy watermelon! Fortunately, I was able to crack open the watermelon and my victorious bite of the juicy red fruit was actually broadcast on national TV and overseas—apparently, a TV network had been filming around the beach to capture an opening segment for the evening's nightly news.
Back at the office, a few more software engineering interns have joined the team. The Japanese academic school year just ended, so August will see an influx of new interns. The interns that I have met so far come from all over the world, including the U.S., Japan, Spain, Denmark, and China. I am so excited to meet more of my fellow interns and we already have fun events planned, like our upcoming hackathon. However, the start of August means that my internship is nearing its end date. It has been a fantastic past few months full of learning, adventure and new people. As I wrap up my internship, the next few weeks will be an intense roller coaster ride of finishing my projects, visiting the Mountain View, Calif. headquarters for a business trip and getting ready to move back home to the U.S.
Off to San Francisco! I’ll update you on my trip to headquarters in my next blog post.

Scholarships for aspiring journalists from Google, the AP and ONA
August 15, 2011
Cross-posted from the
Official Google Blog
Consider the following:
Are you an undergraduate or graduate student in the U.S. with new ideas about news?
Have you already created original journalistic content with computer science elements?
Do you find yourself brainstorming different ways of telling stories and covering your community news using technology?
If you responded with a resounding “yes” to any of the above questions, then the new
AP-Google Journalism and Technology Scholarship
may be perfect for you.
To further encourage and enable innovation from classrooms and dorm rooms alike, we’re announcing a new scholarship program with
the Associated Press
that will provide $20,000 scholarships for the 2012-2013 academic year to six promising students pursuing or planning to pursue degrees at the intersection of journalism and technology.
While we’re underwriting the scholarships in partnership with the AP, the
Online News Association
will be responsible for administering the program and managing the selection process. We support
a variety of scholarships
aimed at giving students from historically underrepresented groups experience in the technology industry, and a key goal of this program will be to promote geographic, gender and ethnic diversity, with an emphasis on rural and urban areas.
Whether you’re exploring data visualizations, 3D storytelling, digital ethics or something else entirely, as ONA’s executive director Jane McDonnell says, “our hope is to shine a light on the hidden treasures in schools across the country—the digital-minded journalists who will be the future of our industry.”
Help us shine a light in your direction—
applications are open
until January 27, 2012. We hope this program inspires today’s students as they become leaders showcasing what’s possible through digital journalism, and we look forward to celebrating the scholarship winners at the 2012 ONA conference in San Francisco.

Young Innovators @ Google - Andrew Oates
August 11, 2011
Introduction:
Young Innovators @ Google
is a new blog series highlighting the great work of Googlers who, not too long ago, were students like you. In their short careers, these engineers and product managers have had an impact on Google and our products. This week, BOLD intern Melissa Arguinzoni sat down with software engineer Andrew Oates. Andrew graduated from Brown University in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and again in 2010 with a master’s degree in computer science.
Melissa Arguinzoni: Tell us about your path to Google and your current role at the company.
Andrew Oates:
The summer between my junior and senior year I interned at Pixar. The following summer, after dropping my resume off at a career fair and having a few phone interviews, I got an offer to intern at Google. During the summer of 2009, after I got my bachelor’s degree from Brown, I interned at Google on the Make The Web Faster team. When I completed my masters in September 2010, I joined Google full-time as a software engineer on the same team.
MA: Why were you interested in being a software engineer?
AO:
Since I was little, I liked programming. I started programming on my mom’s computer when she first got one, when I was in middle school. In high school, I worked at a computer camp where I taught programming. When I got to college, I was originally going to study electrical engineering, but I still took computer science classes. I actually enjoyed doing the homework for my CS classes, which was new to me. I figured if I liked doing the homework then it would probably be a good field for me, so I started majoring in computer science.
MA: What was your first project at Google and what impact did it have?
AO:
My internship at Google was a little unusual; I wasn’t working on any Google properties and I didn’t write any Google code. Someone had an idea for how to make websites load faster and I was basically doing research to see if it would work. My job was to figure out a way to measure how big of an impact speeding up websites like this would have. From the research I did, we saw that it would have a substantial impact. The project has changed since then, but some of the ideas have made their way to use in the Chrome browser.
When I started full-time under the same manager, I worked on the Page Speed team, developing an open source tool to help webmasters make their sites faster. At the time, it was just a Firefox extension for the browser and my project was working on Page Speed Online, which was a web-based way making sites faster. You would go to the website, punch in a URL and it would come back and
tell you what could be improved on the page to make it load/work faster
. I did all the back end and most of the front end work and we launched in March 2011. Since then, I have made an
API version
as well, and my team is looking for new ways to integrate Page Speed in Google products.
[Editor’s Note: Page Speed Browser Extensions are now available on both Chrome and Firefox
browsers
.]
MA: How has your role evolved since you started?
AO:
While my internship was mostly research-based, my full-time role is working on a public-facing product. It involves working with a lot more of Google's technologies and code base, as well as with other teams and developers. Watching
Page Speed Online
go through production and public launch was different from what I’d done before.
MA: What do you like most about your job? Are there personal rewards from the work you do?
AO:
For a lot of people, a job is just a job. For me, this is something I would want to do with my life even if I wasn’t getting paid for it, which is a great situation to be in. I get to do something I love, work on interesting problems and work with really smart people.
MA: Overall, how do you feel about your time here at Google, and what do you see yourself doing next?
AO:
So far, my time here has been great. I am hoping to work more with other teams to have
Page Speed integrated in more places
. We're working with several clients, internally and externally, to integrate our product with their tools and development practices. My focus in the coming quarters is going to be getting Page Speed results into more projects and venues, and working with internal teams to add our analysis to their development cycles.
MA: What advice do you have for young people who are considering an engineering career?
AO:
Take opportunities when you can get them and don’t be lazy. One of the things employers look for in hiring candidates is someone who really enjoys and brings passion to the job because those are the sort of individuals who everyone wants to work with. If you can find something you really enjoy doing and you’re good at it, everything else will fall in place. For Google specifically, study your algorithms textbook, work on personal projects and get used to talking about them to other people—all of these will help with your interviews.
MA: How does a person progress in your field? How has Google helped with that progression?
AO:
At Google, if you can prove yourself you will advance. You can’t coast by with just a degree from a good school or from past accomplishments. Instead, you have to keep working and taking initiative and continue to tackle hard and interesting projects. If you have a personal interest in a project, take the initiative and do it. That’s how you’ll get noticed and that is how you will advance. Google is a great environment for self-motivated and creative people. I saw something I was interested in fixing and I went ahead and fixed it. In some places, that may be frowned upon, but here reaching out and taking initiative is rewarded.

Diary of a Summer Intern - Mirna
August 9, 2011
Hey guys,
It’s been one week since the engineering operations intern summit that was held at the Google Zurich office, Google’s largest engineering center in the region. There were 133 interns from offices all over Europe, the Middle East and Africa, from cities like London, Zurich, Tel Aviv, Stockholm, Paris and Munich, plus many more Googlers who made this event a real success. It was an opportunity to meet fellow interns, grow professional networks and get feedback on how
Codesearch
(my project this summer) has an impact on other teams.
We arrived in Zurich one day before the event and, by coincidence, met a lot of other interns who recognized us from our Google t-shirts! We took a walk near
Zürichsee
and spent some time on a cruise.
Over the course of two days, we had the opportunity to participate in tech talks, workshops and Q&A sessions with senior engineering leads. One session was about engineering productivity and discussed the question, “How do you find the balance between learning and being productive?” Another was a technical interview workshop that provided insights on the interview experience for a full-time engineering role, which was helpful and informative. I also had the opportunity to learn about different job roles within Google, such as product manager, system reliability engineer, and software engineer in test.
Along with the technical programs, we also had a lot of social activities planned for us. We split into teams and spent an evening playing trivia, and we hung out in the office’s huge game room playing pool,
babyfoot
and Rock Band.
I’ll leave you with some photos from the intern summit, enjoy!

Fun Google Fact: The Zurich office is a mixture of fun facts. Even just walking through the lounges I was continually impressed—you can find a sky lounge, jungle lounge, water lounge, and plenty of play rooms.

Hey everyone!
At Google, you never stop working with impressive people.
In an attempt to increase collaboration among our European offices, University Programmes encouraged all Dublin interns to have Google+
Hangouts
with our counterparts from the Poland office. I spoke with a number of interns who all impressed me in various ways. Not only did I have the opportunity to meet an intern who spent the previous summer working for the United Nations in Geneva, but I also met an intern who has interned with Google three times since her first year in college. There was also the Googler I met who spoke five languages fluently.
Speaking of impressive people, the Dublin office welcomed five U.S. interns as part of a week-long
OMAP
-
BOLD
exchange program. Our U.S. interns were quickly integrated into the Google Dublin culture by visiting the
Guinness Brewery
, taking a viking tour of the city and working diligently on their five-day project.

On the weekends, fellow interns and I have been exploring Ireland and all it has to offer. During the
10 Days in Dublin
festival, Dublin interns and I sat in on comedian Fred Cooke’s “Comfort in Chaos” performance at the International Bar, only a few minutes walk from
Grafton Street
. It goes without saying that if you can work well with others, you’ve achieved a lot. The real test, however, is seeing if you can laugh with the people you work with. Well, after one night at the International Bar, consider this mission accomplished.
The laughs continued as we attempted to hike various “hills” during a day trip to the
Wicklow Mountains
, less than an hour south of Dublin. Wicklow is known as the Garden of Ireland with its 750 square miles of rolling hills, mountains, glacial lakes and waterfalls. Aside from brushing up against a few prickly plants, we all survived and had a fantastic trip outside of the city.
Luckily, the traveling doesn’t stop here. When I applied for an internship with Google, I never thought I’d be flying to Mountain View, Calif. to spend a week working on a project at our global headquarters. It’s amazing that I get to travel to a different continent as part of a 10-12 week internship. I will make sure to keep you updated on the exciting experience ahead.
That’s all for now! Talk to you soon!
Remo
Fun Google Fact: Oftentimes, you hear about companies recruiting with headlines like “Apply here and work with rock stars!” Although Google does not use such a line, you may actually get to work with rock stars. In fact, one of the colleagues on my team used to be the guitarist and bass player of
The Thrills
, an Irish rock band with #1 debut hits and platinum statuses. As I said before, at Google, you never stop working with impressive people.

Better Know an Office: Boston
August 2, 2011
Introduction: We continue with our “Better Know an Office” series, inspired by Stephen Colbert’s
Better Know a District
.
This recurring series will take us to different Google offices around the globe. Today, “Better Know an Office” heads to the banks of the Charles River to Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Located in the heart of greater Boston’s technology community and
across the street from MIT
in Kendall Square,
Google Boston
is
Google’s second largest office
east of the Mississippi River. However, this wasn’t always the case. It was only a few years ago—in 2003—that Google Boston consisted of a small sales team with an office in a hotel. In parallel, a small engineering team also started in Cambridge. Overall, these teams totaled around 40 employees. It was not until 2007 when Steve Vinter, Google Boston’s site director, arrived that these small teams started to
expand
. Since then, the office has been growing and recently went through another growth spurt with the
acquisition
of Cambridge-based ITA Software in April 2011.
The Google Boston office manages a wide array of
engineering
projects, including
Mobile
and
Chrome OS
teams, the latter of which has been involved in the creation of an
open source operating system
. Engineers at Google Boston are also behind
Google Book Search
, including recent work on the release of the
Google eBooks for eReader
, and the Google Boston office was involved in the launch of the
Google +1 button
this past spring.
The workplace environment at the Google Boston office maintains its “Googliness” through its unique office layout. In addition to conference rooms named after Boston-based movies (Good Will Hunting, The Perfect Storm), Boston beers (Sam Adams, Harpoon) and Boston authors (Dickinson, Hawthorne), Google Boston has an entire
New England-themed floor
. On the second floor, employees can escape to Cape Cod beach—a lounge decorated with adirondack chairs and beach cabanas—or walk through an area designed to resemble historic Beacon Hill. If the second floor sweet escape doesn’t do it for you, the office environment also fosters playful competition and Googlers come together in common areas to play board and card games such as Dominion, Magic, Innovation, Race for the Galaxy and 7 Wonders.
Outside of work, Google Boston employees are involved in many
community outreach programs
. As part of Google’s commitment to K-12 initiatives and to the Cambridge and Boston communities, Google Boston annually welcomes high schoolers from MIT’s
MITES Program
(Minority Introduction to Engineering and Sciences) for a fun afternoon consisting of an office tour, product demos and discussions with a panel of engineers. Google Boston also partners with MIT to
support innovation in the sciences
. This support ranges from focused research awards to sponsorships for research development. Googlers from the Boston office volunteer at the
Cambridge Boys and Girls Club
, tutoring after school power hours for students in math and science. They recently donated 25 computers to the Club as well. Lastly, through
Citizen Schools
, Googlers act as “citizen teachers,” educating middle school students once a week on topics of personal passion and interest. Last year, Google Boston’s very own software engineer, Alan Su, was honored with the
Citizen Teacher of the Year
national award.
From site expansion, to innovative projects, to a playful work environment and community involvement, the Google Boston office is definitely on the rise. Just like the Cheers
theme song
, the Boston office is a place “where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came.” So, what are you waiting for? Go
pahk your cah in Hahvuhd Yahd
and check out the
opportunities
waiting for you at the wicked cool Google Boston office!

Diary of a Summer Intern - Madelaine
July 28, 2011
Hey guys!
Throughout the course of my internship, I’ve been learning more about what it means to be a product manager. One of the main tasks of the job is keeping your eyes and ears open for product ideas, then making them concrete by writing product design documents or designing mocks of what the feature would look like. You have to go out and find your projects, rather than waiting for them to be assigned to you. This system has the advantage of ensuring people work on something that interests them, and that they feel more ownership and investment in its success. This culture of initiative and self-direction extends throughout the entire company. Each quarter, every employee and every team sets their goals for what they plan to accomplish that quarter (objectives), complete with a measurable definition of success (key results). Performance reviews take into account not only how well you achieved your goals, but also how ambitious those goals were.
On the weekends, I’ve continued to explore San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area. I went hiking on the
Dipsea Trail
(near Muir Woods), watched
Beach Blanket Babylon
(a political satire musical that “defines San Francisco”) and did some shopping in local boutiques on Union Street in the Marina district. I’m also running the
San Francisco Marathon
on Sunday, July 31, and I hosted a dinner to raise money for the
HALO Trust
, a landmine-clearing organization. I had to be creative with fundraising ideas—I can’t tempt co-workers with a bake sale with all these free snacks around. Speaking of the marathon, I’ll be broadcasting my location throughout the race with
Google Latitude
so friends can find me along the course. Shameless Google product plug much? If I survive the 26.2 miles, I’ll let you guys know how it went. Stay tuned!
Madelaine and fellow Google interns
pause for a quick picture during their hike on the Dipsea Trail.
A fun story to wrap this post up: You may remember me talking about Google’s
self-driving cars
in
my last post
. Well, the other day, I was riding the shuttle down the freeway back to San Francisco when I looked outside my window and saw one of Google’s self-driving cars driving right beside us! Only this time, the driver’s hands weren’t on the wheel! While to some, such behavior might seem reckless, to people like me, it was just cool :)
That’s all for now!
-Madelaine
Fun Google Fact: Chade-Meng Tan is Google’s “Jolly Good Fellow” (official title), an engineer whose mission is to help Googlers with enlightenment and personal growth. I learned about him when browsing old TED talks. Read about his
celebrity photo gallery
or watch his
TED talk on compassion

Save your friends from outdated email—help them switch to Gmail
July 27, 2011
Cross-posted on the
Gmail Blog
I switched to Gmail the first month it came out, mere seconds after receiving an invitation from a friend and two years before joining Google. Since then, I’ve invited hundreds of people, most of whom have happily made the switch to Gmail and never looked back.
But I have one friend, Andy, who’s the straggler in the group. A couple months ago, I sent out an email about a barbecue I was having. On the “To:” line, there were 15 Gmail addresses and then Andy. He stuck out like a sore thumb. Shortly thereafter, Andy was complaining to us about how much spam he got. That was the last straw.
My friends and I sat Andy down and talked him through how to import his contacts. We answered his questions, guilt-tripped him a little, and a few painless minutes later we were done. Andy had Gmail.
We all have a story like this. On the Gmail team, we affectionately refer to them as “email interventions.” We hear about them all the time: the cousin who finally switched from an embarassing address like hottie6elliot1977 to a more professional elliot.d.smith@gmail.com, a co-worker who helped his dentist switch after he heard her grumble about having to pay for IMAP access, etc.
It’s for these folks we created
emailintervention.com
, a site that makes it easier than ever to help your friends and family make the switch.
Staging an intervention is simple:
Visit
emailintervention.com
Sign in and automatically identify who from your contacts has yet to make the switch, or just enter a friend’s email address manually
Choose from one of three intervention message templates (“straightforward”, “concerned” or “ embarrassed”), and add your own intervention video if you’d like
Send a customized email and follow up as needed
Your loved ones are counting on you. Even if they don't know it yet.

Congratulations Russia, the National Geographic World Champions
July 27, 2011
Cross-posted from the
Lat Long Blog
This island has a population of about 57,000 people, with the most settlements concentrated on the west coast. Very little of this island is suitable for agriculture.
After eight rounds of questions from none other than quiz king
Alex Trebek
himself, the team from Russia was crowned the National Geographic World Champions today at our Mountain View, Calif. headquarters after answering this final question correctly.
(By the way, the answer is
Greenland
.)

Students from 17 regions around the world competed in the
2011 National Geographic World Championship
. Today’s final round included answering a series of challenging questions like the one above. The students also interpreted maps and museum artifacts from the University of California Berkeley and fielded questions about live animals from the San Francisco Zoo during the
earlier rounds of the competition
.
Congratulations to the Russian team and to all of the students who participated. We look forward to seeing where your explorations and knowledge take you.

National Geographic World Championship comes to Google
July 26, 2011
Cross-posted from the
Google Lat Long Blog
It’s summer vacation for many kids, but 51 students from 17 different regions have been spending their time off polishing and fine-tuning their geographic skills to prepare for this year’s
National Geographic World Championship
, a biennial geography competition hosted by the
National Geographic Society
.
This year, Google is the proud sponsor and on Wednesday, July 27, we’ll host the three final teams from Canada, Chinese Taipei and Russia at our campus in Mountain View, California. The preliminary rounds included a written exam on Sunday and activities at the San Francisco Zoo on Monday morning. Teams ventured to various zoo exhibits and were asked to identify climate maps and geographic locations associated with 10 different animal habitats housed throughout the zoo.
Teams from Canada, Chinese Taipei and Russia will move on to the National Geographic World Championship
Since most of you can’t be here to witness the action in person, we’re going to live stream the finale, hosted by Alex Trebek of the game show JEOPARDY!. Tune into the
National Geographic YouTube Channel
Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. PDT to cheer on these young competitors from wherever you are in the world.
Through this competition, we aim to inspire the future generation of leaders and innovators to become more geographically literate and have a deeper understanding about the world they live in. We hope you are as excited as we are to see such enthusiasm and passion around geographic education.
Please join us in wishing all of these young geographic experts the best of luck!

Diary of a Summer Intern - Nancy
July 26, 2011
Hey everyone!
Does anyone else feel like this summer is just flying by? I’m officially halfway through my
BOLD internship
, but I feel like I just got here! This midpoint has been very busy yet very productive for me at the Googleplex. In addition to proceeding with the second half of my project, I have also taken on side projects like training the whole
Benefits
team on how to set up profiles, create circles and share on
Google+
. Benefits team members from the Toronto and Dublin offices even attended the training session; we all got to
“hang out”
and watch
YouTube
videos! I have also been planning events for
Hispanic Googlers Network (HGN)
Week with some of the other BOLD interns.
Even though I have already settled into my internship, the BOLD team continues to do a great job planning social events for the interns, including a
San Francisco Giants
baseball game and a
San Jose Earthquakes
soccer game. There’s even an intern cruise for us next week with all of our mentors and managers! Aside from the social aspect, these events are a great way to meet other interns and Googlers from all different departments; I’ve gotten to learn more about projects and job roles from Googlers who work in finance, consumer operations, engineering, etc.
Nancy at the San Jose Earthquakes game.
The Earthquakes beat West Bromwich 2-1, and even
the goalkeeper scored!
At the end of the day, the BOLD program is all about leadership and development. For example, I have weekly meetings with my manager to discuss the progress of my projects, as well as my areas of strength and areas for development to focus on in the remainder of my internship.
Additionally, every Friday, the BOLD program holds a Speaker Series in which we get an instructional lesson on topics such as time management or building analytical skills, as well as a talk and Q&A session with some of Google’s leaders. Because there’s always so much valuable insight given at the BOLD talks and other talks at the company, I’ve started making a list of advice to take back with me to my home campus, the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
, in the fall. Here are my top two takeaways:
“Always choose growth.” -Jason Wheeler, Vice President, Finance, Google
"In the early stages of your career, don't forget to develop a broad skillset, and most importantly, focus on what really excites you, as a) life is short and b) it's hard to fake happiness". -Patrick Pichette, SVP and Chief Financial Officer, Google
That’s all for now. I’ll be sure to add to the list after attending the BOLD Director Dinner this week, where us BOLDers will get to meet and chat with some of Google’s directors in a more intimate setting.
I now leave you with some hula dancing, courtesy of a luau that took place on campus a couple weeks ago.
Talk to you soon,
Nancy
Fun Google Fact: Google transport? Check. Google offers a free shuttle service (with wifi!) to Googlers commuting to Mountain View from nearby cities like San Francisco, as well as a car service for them to use during the workday if they need to run any errands.
