Previously. I finally saw Kaizar's office space and then later we went to the Exploratorium with other Google people for a private tour with food and drinks.
But first, I'd like to point out that my umbrella doesn't work too well.
Slept in a bit and then headed out to walk down to Kaizar's office in the Mission. Check out the funky swivel bus seats. It reminded me of this:
I wish more public facilities and spaces would engage the public with a sense of play as suggested by this piece.
That tower in the background belongs to a...high school. Sheesh. My high school (SWS East High HOLLER!) had a thunderbird painted on it. Although the thunderbird was pretty bad ass.
More SF apartments and buildings.
One thing I really like about the San Francisco landscape are the murals that paint the city such as this one.
More of the same building.
Close up of the same building.
More close up.
Kaizar's office is actually this space where various people can rent a desk. It's pretty cool and the guys that work there are really cool. On the left there's Ben, co-founder and CEO, hard at work on his start up called Fluther. Check out the site, it's a great concept.
Ah, the SF stereotype in full display.
Kaizar manning the helm of Newstrust.net.

On our way to lunch we came across this cluster of rats with wings fighting of lo mein.
Pretty disgusting actually.
The Mexican cuisine, especially burritos, is so goddamn good.
SF hills. Exciting.
I liked their efficient disposal units.
LOOK!
Top of the hill.
More photos.
Akash, Kaizar, and I headed to the Exploratorium.
We walked past this...I have no idea what it is.
Building.
Pillars.
Ta-da!
Cool spinning display.
A large magnifying glass...
Hahah.
Bunny ears to demonstrate directional hearing.
I forgot what this was suppose to demonstrate.
Colors...
More colors.
Display about superstitions. I still refused to walk underneath this ladder though.
Water fountain toilet.
Akash had to pee.
Me too.
Kaizar was thirsty.
A lot of mirrors and an empty wine glass.

[flickr video=http://flickr.com/photos/83466411@N00/2870793943/] It's....MAGIC! Okay maybe not.
[flickr video=http://flickr.com/photos/83466411@N00/2871590178/] Magnets and sand...and me telling a kid to go away because I'm "filming." lol.
[flickr video=http://flickr.com/photos/83466411@N00/2869351149/] The scientist gave a really interesting lecture on this one.

And then we got some food and a couple beers.
The End.
