The most amazing presentation on WordPress changing lives that I've seen in my entire life. It's the greatest thing ever. Watch it. You MUST. NOW! (Nag, nag, nag!) And then Digg it. Do that too. And then go to Lorelle's blog at lorelle.wordpress.com and comment about what an awesome presentation it is.Live TV : Ustreamustream page | digg storyHappy 10th Birthday, Google!

The Official Google Blog's latest post: 10 years and counting...And since everyone keeps asking what we'd like for our birthday (besides cake and party hats) -- the first thing we thought of was a nice new server rack.A very special logo is up on the Google homepage today to commemorate the occasion, adapted from the original picture (note the exclamation point):
Google's been touting this birthday for the past week or so, with a cool AJAX-ey timeline that seems to be increasing in entries as time goes on. Having visited the Denver Google offices before they closed, I've seen firsthand what a fun, amazing place Google is to be, and I have a great amount of respect for the company and what they've accomplished in a mere ten years (putting aside the big-brother like eeriness of them knowing anything and everything about me... *ahem* Molly...).Are you a Google fan? Did it revolutionize your life? Should they go bankrupt Monday morning? I love feedback. Comment, people. Comment.WordCast 28: Liez Stross?
