I was pleasantly surprised and amused to see Conan O'Brien touring Intel in Santa Clara as part of Friday's show. Intel in Santa Clara was my prison workplace for 6 long years. Intel was a very visible sponsor of Conan in San Francisco (along with Sam Wo Chinese restaurant!)

I recognized one of the employees in the video - the guy playing Hungry Hungry Hippos with Conan. It looks like they shot most of the footage in the RNB building. Those long rows of gray cubicles and draconian pole numbers are certainly accurate. And the phone call that the kid was making hit close to home ("I have to stay very very late again. Intel is making me work and work and work.")

I actually do sorta miss sitting in the "confined space" and "lifeless environment" near pole B3...

BTW, Carol and I were supposed to catch Conan's show last Thursday. We had tickets and Carol's a huge fan. But a last-minute meeting with our church's tech team killed that opportunity :(
