google turns 7 and is here to stay!

I mean, geez… Google turns 7 today and here they are with this Personalized Home...

I’ve been fiddlin’ with it for a short while now and I’m in total awe… especially for the rss-reader-funtionality (through create a section)...

But my real awe is for the possibilities/consequences this can have… I mean, OS X has dashboard, Google has now this Personalized Home and MS? Does it even matter what they come up with around Christmas 2006 (yes, 2006! that’s more than a year ahead…) ...indeed, I don’t think so either… :-)

...I knew I had some pictures of old google hardware somewhere…

found them!

...and yes, that’s a SCSI-disk cabinet made out of LEGO… :-)

I found this old page through the wayback-machine and thought it was worth saving… so now I mirror it here
