The other night a friend introduced a guy named Howard to me,
saying he worked for google and that they were looking for people
I didn't get his card. But if you (Josh) or anybody else is
interested, I will try to get his e-mail address. I think my
friend probably has it.

By the way, I made the mistake of asking Howard if they were
looking for "programmers". He responded with, "No, we're looking
for _high-end software engineers_.", in matter-of-fact way that
sort of seemed to imply he had the impression that I was a
complete idiot. From that, I, on the other hand, was left with the
impression that Howard is kind of a dick.

So, anyway, if you contact him, make sure not to describe yourself
as a programmer, or even a developer. Be safe and make it "software
engineer" (whether to include "high-end", I leave up to you).
