Google Guy collects snapshots of himself with many visiting stars


37-year-old Google engineer Tad Chade-Meng collects snapshots of himself with celebrities, heads of state, and tech stars who visit the Googleplex in Mountain View.

The New York Times did a sweet profile on him today: Link to that feature, and here is his large online photo collection: Link. IMAGE: here he is at far right, smiling, with la Gwyneth (and another dude juggler Eric Uhrhane in a rad "Aquabats" t-shirt). Tad seems like a very friendly fellow.

The other "famous dude" is another Google employee, and not famous at all (as far as I know), except in the juggling circle. :)

Am I the only one who didn't know which of those three was the star until reading the blurb beneath? Oy vey, celebrity culture makes me feel so out of it =P

However much I despise celebrity culture, I looked through every picture he posted, and thought it would be cool to meet all those people, most of whom I recognized. It's amazing ham famous people get drawn to wealth and power at Google. I wonder hom many were paid to be there?

The other "famous dude" is Eric Uhrhane, of some mild fame in the juggling world for inventing Eric's Extension of Mills' Mess.

Every other article I read about this referred to the guy as Tan Chade-Menge.

That dude in the middle is such a cock block! Notice he isn't in any of the other pictures, only the one with Gwyneth.

Interesting "turn about". I think other folks (like me) are constantly taking pictures when they visit, funny to see that at least one Google person has turned the tables.

Apparently only Democrats and liberals are the only ones visiting Google. Or at least, they're pretty much the only ones being photographed.

Not sure if Colin Powell qualifies as either at this point.

I like how you pointed out the Aquabats shirt. I'm a huge fan!
