Google X: Fail Early, Fail Often

Continuing from yesterday, I want to reiterate that Google X is my type of lab.  Any place that isn't afraid of repeated failures is perfect for me.  I excel at failure.  I'm a failure expert.  I read this article yesterday:  The Truth About Google X:  An Exclusive Look Behind The Secretive Lab's Closed Doors.  I have heard about Project Loon, but I didn't pay much attention to where it originated.  That changed when I read the above referenced article. I learned that I operate Accelerated Momentum with a similar model as Google's X. The only real difference is that I don't have billions in funding, and my products always fail.  I am also not currently working on developing a space elevator as I think that is worthless since there aren't any good driving roads in space.

Accelerated Momentum's R&D department is more secretive than Google's X lab.  Like X, we also do not have a website for that department as the nature of the work done there is too sensitive to be disseminated through unclassified channels.  To be honest, I've already said too much.

I wrote about my desire to find employment at Google X in my previous post, and what I would devote my efforts toward once there.  Upon further reading of X's philosophy, I have encountered a potential obstacle.  All of the current X projects address problems that affect millions of people.  My skill set in terms of problem solving is fully zoomed in, and therefore my solutions only affect about ten people on a good day.  If I don't find a way to scale my capabilities--and fast--Google X is never going to be interested in hearing from me.

When I gain access to X, the second my probationary period has ended, and I'm given keys to the 3D printers, I vow to build F1 cars for all of my readers who want one.  I am a giver.  Since F1 works so well for Red Bull, I'll also work on convincing Google that the quickest way to world domination is through owning an F1 team or two.  If I can make that happen, I'll provide free tickets and VIP access to every race for all of my readers.

All you have to do for me is get me in the door.  I'll handle the rest.  Don't worry if you think I've divulged too much of my secret plan.  A wise person once told me to hide important information in plain sight by putting it in a book.  This is my equivalent.  No one at Google X will see me coming.
