After having read a lot about Google for an article I did that came out last month, I pretty much know a lot of surface information about Google guys Sergei Brin and Larry Page, or at least enough to write that article.
birthday thoughts
- I’m gonna have to change my blog layout pretty soon. Things are getting too crowded. Serves me right for pasting on the first template I saw, which happened to be Connections, quite possibly the most popular (read: over-used) blog template in the whole of wordpress-dom, after the default one of course.
