Straight from Google Video--a recruiting video for Google's female engineers. Engineer Jen Fitzpatrick interviews a number of enthusiastic and pleasant Google employees. Of course, the talk isn't all technical, the video spends a lot of time on the perks--the free food (which causes the "Google 15"), childcare programs, relaxed atmosphere, 20% time, small company feel, and Sergey Brin's effeminate footwear.

Video Highlight at 6'43":

Interviewer: "Okay, so I have one last burning question. Tell me what kind of shoes you're wearing today!"

Sergey Brin: "These are my Z-coils. They're my shoes that have a little bit of extra spring on them. And, uh, they're sort of high heels for men, so, uh, they accentuate my calves nicely."
