On island and still can't get away from Google

So I just tried something I rarely attempt or get to do. I went to a island in the Caribbean and tried to unplug for two weeks with family. And unplugging really means I get on every few days, maybe up to 4-5 days, to check for emergency customer emails and that is it.

At a very small little place on the beach. I look over and see a Google shirt drying on a rail. Turns out a Google exec that shall remain nameless was staying right next to me! Just can't get away.

But I did smile to myself when I would see him in a hammock with a iPad or iPhone.

For everything else, there's Google.

Who said anything about being on vacation? Google goes to great lengths to get your personal data! No one said it all has to be done online... :)

G agent 1337 report to G HQ:

report of target suspect intentionally not using internet for two days is confirmed.

in addition, the following behavior was observed:

1) suspect was distracted by presence of wet t-shirt. suspect seemed mesmerized for approx 30 seconds. local wet t-shirt contest for G interns was not a factor.

2) suspect intermittently grins when no one else is nearby. covert iphone and ipad pictures showing this curious behavior have been forwarded to tech intel dept.


recommendation: continued study of target suspect. thorough profile workup may require two more weeks of field duty.

Perhaps he is researching animal names for a new update. Someone has to do it.

Or maybe they've decided to do away with the animal names. Next up- the Rum Punch Update!

I was in hawaii a few years ago, and driving on a single lane path. Behind me was a google maps car. I felt like I was bing stalked.

Bingo. I was trying to think of something in P, although the Punch Algorithmic Upgrade does have a certain nice ambiguity to it.

You need a vacation :)
