I just phoned back in with my elderly parents and remembered them to drink enough and, more important, stay the f... out of the heat.

And now i am standing here (or, to be more precise: Sitting in my old "Boss Chair") and thinking about bringing the company for whom i am the CTO now into the "dark and dangerous Google cave"...
