Yesterday I got to meet with Sanjay Kapoor, who worked with me at MP3.com. He moved back to the Bay area because his wife was entering a residency program in Pediatrics at Stanford. Sanjay ended up taking a job at Google. When he offered to have me swing by the office for lunch I couldn't pass it up.
It was quite a scene. The company has moved into the old Silicon Graphics space and it had a lot of the feeling of many other companies in 1999. Chefs, Volleyball courts, and Segway vehicles. The difference is, they make money. The excitement in the air was evident and I must say that it was cool to see that buzz that comes with an impending IPO. Hopefully this bodes well for the entire sector.

Yes indeed working at Google you can definitely feel the "buzz" in the air. The food is good too!
You think Sanjay is having fun at work, you need to see him play poker. We don't call him Sanjay "Monster Pot" Kapoor for nothing! ;)

Sanjay K is an old buddy of mine as well. He was actually my client over at the long since defunct beyond.com.
Although we have kept in touch through the years, he is little lax with returning phone cals since at google - -maybe you could urge him to call his old buddy Gregg Feldman.
