Sometimes, the Internet isn’t always useless #1

Yesterday was one of the few moments I’m glad Google indexed (or whatever it does) my site because thanks to them, an Austin-Apple friend I haven’t seen nor talked to in years found me. Okay, I’m guessing he used Google which would then pull up this site. It’s the best guess I have since I just typed my name “Steve Maggi” before writing this story and my birthday wish to Owen Masinelli on maggipicayune.net was the second result it turned up. Certainly less embarrassing than the third result. 
 
So who was it? Joe Azzato, a really great guy I worked with at Apple back in the mid 1990s. Not only great, someone very talented and has lived (or still does) an interesting life with his years in the US Air Force. He’s also the biggest Green Lantern fan I know so when I liquated day some collectibles that were just taking up space in my apartment, I gave him an autographed Martin Nodell trading card I got in Chicago. I knew he’d be the last person on Earth to ask, “who’s this guy?” 
 
We’ll be doing lunch in the near future to catch up on what he’s up to since Apple and the same for me because he didn’t know I got married. 
 
Update: Seems Google did kind of fail because I did click on the blue link above and see he posted a message looking for me. Well, it’s still funny to see how I have been immortalized on the Internet (you’ll have to click the link to see what I mean).
