Arnie is coming to Yahoo!
Figure [1]: The "Gouvernator" stops by Yahoo!

Michael In mid-August, our (ahem!) beloved "Gouvernator" Arnold Schwarzenegger stopped by for a visit at the Yahoo! cafeteria. I had already been wondering in the morning when I came in why part of the parking garage was cordoned off, but it was probably so that the famous gentleman could enter the cafeteria through the back entrance, where a bunch of Yahoo! employees were already waiting for him.

He once again told the same old story about how he came to the USA as a poor lad back in the day, armed only with his bodybuilding knowledge, and the American Dream and blah blah blah. Only the pleasant political topics were touched upon, but it was a fun visit, and indeed, it was amusing.

My cubicle neighbor had an expensive DSLR camera with him and left it with me in the cafeteria when he had to go back to the office. Later, due to security regulations (overcrowding in the cafeteria), he couldn't return, such bad luck! So, I just grabbed his camera, struggled a bit with the ISO settings and focus, but some of the pictures actually turned out quite well.
