Second Annual Ken Kovash Day Celebrations Begin

Numbers panic, have nowhere to hide

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. - December 19, 2008 - Today ushers in the second annual Ken Kovash Day. Last year’s celebration was the first of its kind. It was a significant milestone for Ken Kovash fans worldwide.

In its second year, Ken Kovash Day (KKD) celebrations went above and beyond those of last year. An official website, http://kenkovash.com, officially launched today. Kovash fans everywhere can go online and share their adoration with the world. Additionally, fans can make and purchase KeKo-inspired clothing at http://www.zazzle.com/kenkovash+gifts.

"Some people mistakenly think Ken looks out only for number one. But that sells him way, way short,” said, David Rolnitzky. “There are a lot of other numbers he looks out for."

"I have never seen someone hunt down data abnormalities with such precision, determination, and skill as Ken Kovash,” said Justin Fligtar Scott. “Since Ken has been around, we've actually noticed data voluntarily working to correct itself rather than face a never-ending pursuit of the truth by The Numerator."

Mozilla Community Store

This morning, Mozilla and Zazzle announced a strategic partnership and the launch of the Mozilla Community Store!

At the Mozilla Community Store, folks can browse the gallery to shop from an array of community generated designs. Designs consist entirely of artwork supplied by Mozilla's worldwide community, with all designs available for customization on over 400 apparel products including t-shirts, sweatshirts and tank tops. To get things started, we've seeded the store with over 50 designs from the Firefox 3 t-shirt design contest, but anyone can start from scratch and add their own.

Tara over at MusingT and John at Intothefuzz have also posted about the exciting news!
