Bubble Car 2

Another Google car in the wild.

Bubble Car!

Google's newest fleet of tiny self-driving cars hit the streets of Silicon Valley last week. Our new robot overlords are super cute! (In the picture it looks like no one's in the car, but there were, in fact, two passengers.)

Downtown Palo Alto.

Mother's Day Facebook

As seen the Saturday night before Mother's Day.

This way.

Giant Antenna #2

This is the second of the giant antennas I regularly pass by. I think it's even more spectacular because you can see it from ground up. It towers over the enormous house.

Self-Driving Car

A regular site around Mountain View and Palo Alto -- the Google self-driving car. When I took this photo, there was one in back of me too.

Yahoo!

I came upon one of the ubiquitous tech buses taking a mid-day siesta on a side street the other day. It'll be interesting to see how the negotiations play out between the drivers and the companies, especially with regard to the dreaded split shift.

Robots

Seen in Mountain View Wednesday, this "Autonomous Neighborhood Crime Watch" robot is, according to the engineer who popped out of the building to say hi to us, a better-than-human security guard. It records and scans data and can figure out when something is out of the ordinary. The freaky future is now.

GBikes

A nice collection of colorful Google bikes (and one unicycle) at Googleplex.

NASA Ames Wind Tunnel

From the NASA Ames open house in October, a panoramic shot of their largest wind tunnel for testing aircraft of all sorts.

Giant Antenna

I don't know what people have these for, but I've run into a few of them and I'm always a bit awestruck. I wonder if the owners have a tinfoil hat collection, too.
