I have officially decided that coding in JavaScript is a fun game! Scroll to the bottom to see
MY CUBE

This morning we programmed a search engine for photos.

My search engine was called "Loogle." It is like Google's search engine in that you can search for anything, but it is (at this time) only limited to retrieving photos in the search.

During lunch, I visited the baristas! Google baristas are very skilled and make drinks that are 'Starbucks style.' The Google drinks, however, are better; they are free.

In the afternoon, I had a BLAST! Prior to continuing the productivity sessions, we were organized into groups to participate in a secret game that Google has not yet debuted. I will be very vague, but my team worked together very well and quickly caught on. Our team achieved a record score and won!!! We will be receiving Google prizes later this week. The best aspect of the experiment was the fun of collaborating and learning as a team.


Here are some pictures from the afternoon:

Outside Explorations

You see us rolling....

There was no vanilla ice cream at dinner. My day slightly deflated - my roommate Amani agrees! We're vanilla girls. After dinner in our apartment, Amani and I had quite an exercising experience; we killed a bug. I am 87% percent sure it is dead; I feel sad but Amani feels safer (except for the 13% chance).

 I am super hyped to share a part of what I've worked on this afternoon below:

What's in the box?

There are many possibilities.

Is it a Happy Meal?
That free thing you won for being the 1000th visitor?
Perhaps it's a WALL-E.
The key to the city?
Money!
Lots and Lots of Monopoly Money...

Or nothing at all; empty

FREE KiTTENs INSIDE

Curb Alert!
Free to a good home.

Box Contains:
1 Orange Tabby cat
17 Maine Coon cats
2 Black cats

WARNING: No returns
Kittens require love and patience
Please feed often

Schrodinger's Cat's Box?

Schrodinger's Cat
Wants out of the box already

Cat is both alive
And dead

Cat to Be
Or not to Be?
That is the question

Are you beginning to feel like a Cube Master, Master
Coded motions left to right moved cube faster, faster
Eminem 'Rap God' is a rapper, rapper
But he don't code and make the cube go faster, faster

Sooooo....how fast can you go?
Spin! Spin! Spin

At GoOgLe - Hyped for JavaScript!

JavaScript integrates animation to bring dynamic aspects to webpages.
In the morning, our coding session in JavaScript progressed quickly from the basic JavaScript commands: variables and assignments, calling functions, list and association arrays, loops, associative arrays...etc.. We combined JavaScript with the HTML and CSS and focused on coding for webpages with jQuery (selectors, functions, events).
With JavaScript and jQuery, our pages gained animation; the awesome began. One cool thing we learned was how to code buttons that, when the mouse cursor moves over, disappear or forever escape the cursor in a never ending game of cursor-button tag.
This is an example ( vid credit: Abril):

Overall, JavaScript seems useful for web (and app) development.


While on break for lunch, my friend Abril - another CSSIer - and I discovered the Google San Francisco Trolley Car!!! We were permitted to take a photo; we had some fun!

In the afternoon, we continued programming with JavaScript and participated in a presentation styled group activity. I found it interesting to learn more about each CSSIer from the activity. At dinner, I enjoyed the Google food and especially the Google desserts.

Check out these Google treats :)
