See Java from Space

Question: see anything strange in this picture?

Satellite Image of a Building's Roof

Time's up. It's a satellite picture of Building 14 in Sun's Santa Clara campus, which just happens to be decorated with a huge Java logo. Don't believe me? See for yourself with this view of our Solaris Registrations Map.

Next question: what's it doing there? Has Sun been getting marketing tips from The Colonel?

Nope. I got the real story from Steve Wilson: "It's been up there since Java Software moved out of [Cupertino] to [Santa Clara]. There was a big all hands with a gag that had Rich doing a video feed from the roof of SCA 14. It's still up there."

Last question: where can I rent a big ladder next time I'm in the Bay Area?
