Just take a look at this web 2.0 map of the world, which features exactly 1001 logos from various web 2.0 websites. Obviously there are a few repeats, but still - there’s a good number of sites in that map. I have to admit it’s pretty cool, and a lot of effort was obviously put into it.

It was announced that Firefox Download Day 2008 set a world record with 29,008,009 downloads. I recently upgraded to Firefox 3 myself, so I guess I’m one of those 29 million or so downloads. Congrats Firefox!

For those of you who have been patiently waiting for me to update my about page, the time has come. No more, “My name is Leland. I’ll write more stuff about me here later.”

It only took me a year and a half to actually make one, but better late than never! It has information on me, my websites, my profiles across the web, etc. Check it out!
