Google Doodles

Yes he did.

And yesterday was also Library Lovers Day, according to the guy on the radio who woke me up for work.

Edward Gorey's 88th birthday.

Great! I was just coming here to post this! I think we missed one a day or two ago, but I can't remember what it was...

Nicolaus Copernicus 540th birthday.

International Women's day

Today is Douglas Adams 61st birthday and the doodle is an interactive one. You can click on the calculator(that's what it looks like to me) and images show up in the display and the tape move through the machine.

Yesterday was also National Napping Day according to the guy on the radio. Pretty appropriate considering after changing all the clocks a lot of us probably felt like napping yesterday (I sure did--and I took one too).

I know and naturally Antonio and I celebrated.

I celebrated a day early!

There a doodle for St. Patrick's day. It has dancers doing an Irish dance(I think).

Today is an animated one for Earth Day.

In honor of Ella Fitzgerald's 96th birthday.

My dad never liked her music, but it was because he despised "scat" music, and she did enjoy scatting. That said, when she would do it straight, or as straight as any good jazz singer does it, she was phenomenal! What a beautiful voice. Her sense of timing and phrasing was second to none! Wow!

It's worth going to Google today to see the animated doodle tribute to graphic designer Saul Bass. Here is an article about it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/may/08/saul-bass-film-google-doodle[img]http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-

I noticed that today's doodle is an interactive one for Mother's day.

Here is the story behind the doodle.

To call the work outstanding is an understatement. Thank you for posting

Today is an interactive for Julius Richard Petri.

Happy 161th b-day to Dr. Petri! Some of my fondest memories of school were of experiments involving his dinnerware.

Skip high school, it's my fridge on occasion

I noticed that today's doodle is an interactive and I haven't played around with it.

Frank Kafka 130th birthday.

That's a good one!

It is. Strange writer, I've his works in both English and German.

There is an interactive doodle for today. I clicked on the play button and various pictures or postcards came up. I clicked on each one to see what the next image is.
