I enjoyed my birthday. I didn’t do too much, as after all, being 22 isn’t a particularly important thing. If anything, it’s the end of being 21, which if anything, is a bit of a shame.

I noticed the world has gone a bit 2.0 over the past few days. Flickr has lost the ‘Gamma’ and now ‘Loves You’ (well spotted Gareth).

Also the release of the cryptically named Google Gears has led to a a peaked interest. Being able to read my news feeds while not connected to the internet; well it has some merit. However, how about in a few weeks time being able to use Google Docs as an offline application? Now that would be good…

Google also started spidering the streets of a number of US cities, and now if you have a quick peak at San Francisco or New York you can grab a 360 degree view of along any street, at any point, at ground level. You can even see the building where Currin meets a significant US business magazine on Wednesday.

Pub time.
