Where’s Dan? A slight SRS delay this week…

Where’s Dan? A slight SRS delay this week… Dan Russell

I knew I'd be traveling this week,


.. but I also foolishly thought I'd have more time that reality allows. You know how it is: your trip seems like it will be all perfect timing and a relaxing time, but then reality pours in new tasks to do, people to see, and questions to answer. And that's what's happened to me.

This is actually a work trip, and by looking at the above pic, with the blue and white flag atop the church, you'll know exactly where I'm at. Can you deduce my location from the flag alone? (If not, it's open internet--I'm sure you can figure out what church this is...)

I'll be back next week with my solution to the previous SRS Challenge (the one about elephants in Wisconsin).

Search on!

I study the way people search and research. I guess that makes me an anthropologist of search. While I work at Google, my blog and G+ posts reflects my own thoughts and not those of my employer. I am FIA's Future-ist in Residence. More »
