July 24, 2003: Google Adds Building Phi

News.com reports that Google is adding a building phi (the golden mean) to go along with Buildings 0, 1, e, and π.

They also note that some celebrity visitors have dropped by Google: "[Gwyneth Paltrow] showed up with the members of British music sensation Coldplay, rode around on a Segway and peered into a couple of cubicles, no doubt to catch the real-life drama of someone writing an action-item memo or taking a sales call. Other visitors include former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young and former Vice President Al Gore. Even people with day jobs---such as Thomas Friedman, international affairs columnist for The New York Times--have dropped by for visit, a Google representative confirmed."

But they fail to mention that I visited recently. I've got a few photos (including some of buildings π and e) that I should put up here soon.
