Google Geek's Photos of the Famous

Posted by kdawson on from the bugs-bunny-smile dept.

kiracatgirl writes "The NYTimes has a fun story about a relatively unknown Google employee and his hobby — taking photographs of himself with famous visitors to Google's headquarters. Tan Chade-Meng 'is a household name only in his own household,' but his gallery is posted on the walls at Google HQ. It's also available for our viewing pleasure at his Picassa photo album."

  1. Cool hobby! by LiquidCoooled · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thats a really cool hobby to have.

    I have however noticed something which might get Linus and Stallman (not difficult really) seething.

    Chade-Meng has a number of different albums, one being "Tech industry Titans" and another being "Other Famous people".

    Try to guess which folder they are in...

    Is it because Stallman smells?

      Is this what he spends his 20% time on?

    I wonder if he was able to understand the words that came out of Chris Tuckers' mouth.

  3. Fun Times? by Double+Entendre · · Score: 5, Funny

    Mr. Tan, his photo gallery and the company's endorsement of his little side project, said Eric Schmidt, the company's chief executive, are "representative of much of what is right and fun about Google."

    Google is doomed. That sounded too much like David Brent pointing at the monkey and saying, "those are the kinds of laughs we have around here."

      So, he's basically the Paris Hilton of the IT world?

    You know, I have respect for Richard Stallman. And I find it amusing when people call him a hippie or whatnot. But this guy really wears outfits like that in public? I mean he looks like he fell out of the VW van used to sell crystals on the way to the next Greatful Dead concert.
