Happy Birthday To Me!

Happy Birthday to Me-eee…
Happy Birthday to Me!
Today I turn twenty-three years old. To be honest, that seems to cross an imaginary boundary in my mind. I’m no longer just a year older than 21, if that makes much sense.
Today’ll be pretty much like every other as far as I know. We’re in a mini-crunch at work and time-sharing some hardware, so I’ll be online before I walk out the door in the morning, and in the lab an hour or so early so we can get the most out of our time on the machine in question.
Being a year older doesn’t feel different at all. In fact, I just now remembered that today was my birthday, even though I’d been gently reminding folks for a few weeks now. Things change one bit at a time, and you really don’t notice anything until you step back, and realize that so many little things add up to a major step forward in life.

Brian, interesting features are constantly being added to Google, whether its in Maps or some other application they have. I honestly still can’t wrap my head around the devastation.
John, mayhaps Google kept a copy of your robots.txt from its last crawl and used it to crawl this time around. 
Jacque, I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better, Bullet’s in better shape, and you’re contributing to making some people’s lives better!
Chris, I feel your pain.
Brandon, $5 says your site’s been indexed and is now watched by Carnivore or whatever they replaced it with.
Igor, insightful as always, assuming you can get through the marketing-speak. 
Everyone Else, I’ll post links to your blogs as I find them (i.e. scavage from other websites).

Act 1: Assumptions
Act 2: Stupidity (My Own)
Act 3: Ineptitude (Of Others)
You know, I actually was going to write a scathing monologue on the above topics, but I’m too tired (and bored) to bother. Let’s try another topic…
