That was my first thought ok. I thought I was looking at the reflecting pool at the Washington monument or something. I’m completely in awe of the size of that pool.

I think that productivity is a tough thing to measure...yes there are metrics, but do any of them give an accurate picture of productivity? What do you think is an accurate measure of productivity?
