I had to chuckle at the caption accompanying this photo for the Sydney Morning Herald’s story today on Google’s tenth anniversary.
“Kate Vale and an engineer, Lars Rasmussen, at Google’s office in Darling Park.”
Being a Lead Engineer for Google Maps clearly didn’t impress the journos too much.
They probably wondered how a lowly engineer managed to muscle in on this photo opportunity in the first place.
That’s what understatement gets you.
I chuckled at this too. Then I wept at at what journalism had come to 🙂
