A few months ago, as I was finishing my third book in a row, I started to ponder getting out of the freelance writing biz and finding a full-time job at a company. I didn't think there was anything for me to do at Google and I wasn't planning on interviewing there, but Google friends convinced me otherwise. As the process progressed I got more excited about the idea of working there. Eventually I got an offer, and I said yes. So, I have a new job as a technical writer at Google, starting next week!
Google's main business is a departure for me. I've spent most of my time in the world of personal computers and client-based stuff. But Google gives me a feeling of vast possibility, and I want to go explore that. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to contribute something useful and have fun at the same time.
And, after 2 years as a freelance writer, I'm looking forward to having actual human beings in the vicinity that I can interact with!
Congratulations Scott!

Boy, what some guys won't do to distance themselves from an economic model that sucks eggs and gets suckier every year!
Congrats to Google.

Congrats on the new job, it is certainly a departure from the previous ones. Say hi to Barb for me.
