On Saturday, the Livermore Firehouse, which has moved the bulb three or four times since 1901, is to celebrate the birthday with cakes, parades, speeches and a brass band. 
What other lightbulb has its own profile on Facebook and is watched over by a webcam which offers round-the-clock proof of its continued activity? 
"In our guestbook we have people from Germany, China, Japan, Russia, England, you name it," beams Lynn Owens, 67, the former division chief for the Livermore Fire Department who has
