Google and the Birthday Smile




As some of you know, it’s my birthday today, so I’m taking some downtime and spending the weekend getting pampered (hopefully!).

But I just wanted to share this with you first, as it was a little surprise and it made me smile. Nice job, Google!

Have a great and safe weekend, guys, and see you online soon (and thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes on Facebook and Twitter). You’re awesome!

Great stuff and shows your fun side :)
