Fifth Annual Official Star Trek Convention

Tom Galloway, Technical Writer, says: “Did you ever realize that among many other things, Star Trek predicted blogs? Think about it — all those “Captain’s log” and “personal log” entries that Kirk would make. He was definitely a blogger. And of course the communicator-inspired cell phone design. And the crew was constantly asking the ship’s computer for information…sort of like Google.

So it all stands to reason that we’re hosting a booth at the 5th annual Official Star Trek Convention (which celebrates 40 years of the whole enterprise) in Las Vegas. It starts today and runs through Sunday. If you’re at the con, please stop by for demos of some of our latest product releases, including a few new ones, often with a particular sci-fi spin. We’re also looking for applicants to “Google Academy,” so please speak up if you’d like to work here. After all — today is a good day to code”. [source]
