Worldcon beckons
22. kolovoza 2006.
Posted by Tom Galloway, Technical Writer
In response to our attending the
Star Trek convention in Las Vegas
last week, Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Watch
commented
, "Of course, going to WorldCon in LA (ahem, actually Anaheim in beautiful Orange County) later this month would be nice."
Wouldn't it, though? After all, in addition to Scotty and Spock, many Googlers have been influenced by Isaac Asimov's
Dr. Susan Calvin
, Robert Heinlein's
HOLMES-IV
(a.k.a. Mike/Mycroft/Michelle), Arthur C. Clarke's
HAL 9000
, and Douglas Adams'
Marvin the Paranoid Android
, and the
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
itself, as well as many other science fiction characters, stories, and novels both classic and recent.
So we are in fact throwing a party at this week's World Science Fiction Convention,
LACon IV
-- on Wednesday evening, in the main party area on the fifth floor of the Anaheim Hilton. Convention attendees are welcome to drop by to talk with Googlers from the Mountain View and Santa Monica offices and see some things that I'm sure
Serenity
's engineer
Kaylee Frye
would consider worthy of a "Shiny!"
If you think Google might be a good fit for you, stop by the party or head over to
