I started using Google a month or two after it first went to beta (the URL was still google.stanford.edu). I liked the name so much I adopted it as my new IRC nickname.
Eventually Google became more well known and I looked like a corporate whore, so I changed my nickname to Boogle. This remained for a few months before it changed to Boog. And here I am today, although clearly I don't use that nickname here. And, no, I'm not Igor Boog, although the MeFiWiki seemed to think I am.

Makes a change from the Curb Your Enthusiasm style of post, typical of MeFi (starting with someone saying something, someone else misunderstanding what they said, and the whole thing collapsing in a giant embarassing mess of confusion).

Some people just have way too much spare time and disposable income.

Oh and quonsar - you can't be George because that's me, but you would probably fit right in as Kramer.

Google, May 2nd 1998. Check out that logo, it's HORRIBLE.

The current Google logo is horrible. Why should we be surprised that it wasn't any better in 1998?
