I remember going to Google I/O in 2008 and sitting in a bean bag chair about 30 feet from "Flight of The Conchords", who were performing live. Fun times. Ah, look, I blogged about it: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/475

I was at Google IO 2008. Amazing times. Wore the t-shirt until it was so badly faded and torn.

But back then Google was at the forefront of open standards and pushing the web forward. It was an exciting time for sure.

Far from the Google of today who can’t seem to run a project for more than a couple years.
