Today is June 17, 2008 and I turn 29.
The sad thing is a few months ago, I couldn’t remember if I was going to turn 28 or 29 this year, so I used some web birthday calculator to solve my memory problem! The birthday doesn’t mean much for me this year as I’m so much more distracted with the anticipation of Dominic’s arrival.
Here are a few other notable things happening today:
Here in California same sex couples can get marriage licenses, how FABULOUS!
There is a new Silver Jews album, hopefully it’s good.
Blu-ray versions of Be Kind, Rewind and So I Married an Axe Murder are to be released.
For the nerds, today is the official release of Firefox 3 and there is a Download Firefox 3 and help set a world record competition going on so upgrade yours today!
Finally, there is a UEFA Euro 2008 match between Italy and France. Both teams have not been doing well in this tournament, despite being the two teams in the World Cup finals of 2006. They both need to win this match and then have Romania lose (sorry Isai family!) in order to continue.
For those who don’t know [and don’t care :)] the UEFA Euro 2008 is like the world cup for Europe and also happens every 4 years. You end up seeing many top players from all over the world because many of them play in the European leagues to sharpen their skills. There have been some awesome matches and I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly. I’ve said it before, soccer is perfect for HD!
Today I will work (because there is enough work and I want to stay ahead,) hopefully watch the soccer game and probably get some dinner. So yes, it’s just another day because I’m really trying to save celebrations for who’s to come in the next few weeks.
happy birthday angelo!! i hope you have a great day.
also…what’s different about the new firefox?

What’s different Amy? Well according to their marketing there have been more than 15000 improvements to make it faster, more secure and easier to use.
I guess the official downloads start at 10am PDT but I put up direct links for OSX and Windows (under the banner) if you can’t wait.
I also forgot to mention Toy Story Mania opens today at Disney’s California Adventure.

And OF COURSE Dominic is going to be just like you – I can already picture it!

Biggest changes are the memory leaks getting fixed, new address bar and updated bookmarks mananger. I’ve been running the betas for a while now and really like it.

Well, it was a good birthday.
Italy won their match (and Romania lost, sorry Isai’s) so that means they move on to the quarter finals….
Lori baked me a cake, with her being 37+ weeks and it being in the high 80′s today!! She’s a great wife.
Had a great dinner at Maggiano’s with good friends.
AND
THE LAKERS LOST HORRIBLY! So we now can be Laker free for a few months and not have it dominate the news and all the flag wavers can put them away or burn them in disgust! HA!
