Twenty short years ago on this day I was born a very curious child in Houston. Soon after I was taking apart every electronic gadget I could get my hands on.. even the old 386 and Macintosh Centris 650, which was a great computer by the way. As some of my Greek readers have picked up on, yesterday was my name day. The best birthday present was the internship, which gets better everyday. Today I met the Yahoo! (the reason I keep putting that exclamation point after Yahoo! is that it’s part of the trademark/logo… it’s not just me being overly excited) founders, Jerry Yang and David Filo. They were speaking to the new interns and welcoming them to the Y.
As for the site, I’ve got a long 4 day weekend ahead so you can expect some great posts. I’ve been trying to write a microformats post for some time but I keep getting instant messaged by someone.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

happy birthday stammy!
I believe you are mistaken, you keep instant messaging me. I know you can’t help the fact that me being on the east coast and you on the west coast is straining or digital relationship but that is ok. I think you need to dress up in some 9rules schwag and parade around Yahoo! for advertising. Rock on at Yahoo! and bust some nerdy heads for me. Oh as a last thought, happy b-day.
Happy birthday, man. And wouldn’t you say they were welcoming to the “Y!”? ;-)
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday dude. :D
Happy Birthday Paul!
May all your wishes come true, including the ones related, perhaps, to whatever features you would like Mac OS X Leopard to come with, so we could get benefited from them as well ;-)
ΧÏόνια Πολλά!
Happy Birthday old man. And may you have a great next two decades.

Hahaha, yes I can’t wait for Leopard. I hope it runs like magic on the macbook.
Happy birthday! Woohoo! Cake! Balloons!
Happy birthday Stammy!
Nice pic! I definitely just stormed out of that room. Dave is apparently pretty approachable, so I hope to meet up with him some other time.
Happy Birthday man :)
I’m going home for a week, but when I get back. Phil and I are going to San Francisco to tour (for real this time!) with a friend of ours at Y!. You’re more than welcome to come unless you venture out there sometime during this long weekend.
Talk to you later
