I have my browser home page set to Google, so the first thing I see when I open a new browser window is whatever cute Google logo they drew to celebrate somebody’s birthday or anniversary. Today it was “Google” spelled out in birthday cakes, so I figured it was the birthday of whoever invented icing or birthday candles or whatever, and because today just so happens to be my birthday, too, I wanted to find out who that was so I went to click on it and the little message that you get when your cursor is over an image popped up and said, “Happy Birthday, Dave!”

I turned to look out the window and waved, mouthing the words “thank you” just in case The Google was out there, watching. Which they are. Always.
