My Journey To YouTube

 We're still in San Francisco because we had a day off after playing Golden State last night. We were in the game, but they started making tough shots down the stretch. It's still hard to watch games because I saw so many things that I could have done to help us get a win. I'm starting to get that itch and I want to play pretty bad. I'm still cool so I can be patient and get back hopefully next week.

On a lighter note, I know a few guys at YouTube and Google so I was able to make some time and visit their offices. They have an amazing set up out there. They gave me a tour and I got the chance to talk to a lot of the employees and kind of see what their experience is like.

I met one employee (I won't mention his name for his protection) that told me he heckled me back in my rookie year when we played the Warriors. I don't remember it, but he said he had some seats right behind our bench and started yelling out at me. Nothing personal or offensive was said, but he wanted to fess up and come clean with me when he found out I was coming to visit. We laughed and talked about it.  It was kind of funny. All of his co-workers gave him a hard time, but he's a cool guy. Maybe I'll meet some more business people that have heckled me in the past.

The YouTube offices have plasma screens and computer set ups everywhere. Some of the people's jobs are to watch YouTube videos and take down all the bad videos. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but that's pretty much the description in a nutshell. That seems like a pretty cool job. You can get paid for watching YouTube all day! WOW! The only problem is that they told me that it's 150 times harder to get a job at Google than it is to get into Harvard!  Are you serious?! And since Google bought YouTube a couple years back, I'm sure you have to get hired by Google, not sure though (I didn't ask that question)?  That just shows me you really have to know your stuff to get a job with them! They also said that there are 10 hours of video posted every minute! I still can't believe that number. Man, YouTube is pretty popular. Not only in the USA or Canada, but the entire world. You couldn't watch every video on YouTube in your lifetime even if you tried.

I really enjoyed the visit to YouTube and it's been the highlight of my west coast trip so far.

Well, the bus is leaving to the airport in 15 minutes and I don't want to be late. We're headed to Denver now and I don't want to leave the nice, warm weather. We still have 3 more games in another 6 days so I won't be home for a little while. To my people in the north, STAY WARM!
