Google Update

So my mentor and I have been doing a round of user testing this week, and it's been really interesting. Today, I got to moderate one for the first time, so that was very cool. At first I was pretty nervous, but once I got into it, I think I didn't pretty well. Also, I made a few minor usability suggestions for the product, and it looks like they might be implemented, which would be very cool since something that I came up with would end up being used by tons of people.

Other than that, I really can't say much. Pesky NDA. So much interesting stuff going on inside that I wish I could discuss but can't.

First Week at Google

Well I'm done with my first week of work at Google, and it's been a whirlwind of an experience. Lots of interesting classes ranging from the life of a search query to security and web hacking. As it stands now I'm probably going to be working on the presentations feature of Google Docs & Spreadsheets, which is exactly what I wanted when I got here. The only problem is that now that I know about all the cool things they're rolling out, I want to work on a whole host of different projects. We'll see how that turns out.
