Actually I thought Google’s “20 percent time”, a programme that allows all Google employees to spend 20% of their working time (one day per week) on projects that interest them. Google owns everything the programmers create during that time, so it can will promote the creativity of its employees and although some working time is lost for the company, they can expect great new inventions. Probably the most well-known invention is Gmail, Google’s great mailing service. But also other useful services such as Google News and AdSense emerged from ideas of Google employees.
But this time, they used their time for some kind of rubbish. Seriously. 4 Google employees opened a Spreadsheet (see Google Docs) all the same time, resized the 18600 cells of it to small squares and used background coloring to paint some kind of christmas art. See more about it in this video:
But at least the video is cool. See the picture below or click here, if you want to see this crap with your own eyes (or even worse: create your own spreadsheet art!).
