Happy 12th Birthday Google

Today is Google’s 12th Birthday!

google bday

And despite it being the super power of all things interweb related stop and think for just a moment just how far we’ve come and what we might be without had it not been for Google.

Yeah we’re all fans of Gmail, YouTube, Google Voice, Google Reader and on and on.  I don’t want this to come off like I am a “Google Tool” but what about the many other things you might not have thought about.  Do you like that super cool Android Phone your holding right now?  Thank Google for the Android System!

By the way – does that phone of yours access Twitter?  You can also thank Google (indirectly) for that.  Know why?  Two words: Pyra Labs  Go connect the dots.

There’s a thousand other ways Google has impacted your life for the better.  Think of all the products really smart people have worked hard to create in hopes they would be bought by Google (that’s a real business model).  Even if the product never made to Google’s shelves – it was still created and conceptualized. 

Case in point: Foursquare  Did you know it was originally a project called Dodgeball?  Google bought it and never really did anything to it.  The founder of the concept decided to recreate it (better) and came up with the Foursquare we know today.

Happy 12th Birthday Google!

He's an avid hockey fan, rides a mountain bike, sometimes rides a road bike, has a few motorcycles (he had a really fast one, bought a cool orange one, rode a really slow one, and now,a perfect "BDR Weapon"). If that isn't enough, he makes cheese and sourdough bread, loves strong beer and good red wine, and poorly plays the Mandolin.

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
