A little doodling

One of the little "personality" things about Google is their Google Doodles -- changes to their logo on the main Google page that represents a significant event or anniversary. I'd been catching most of them by accident when I saw them. Using bookmarklets as I do, I don't often go to the Google homepage often anymore.

Along comes Doodle Watch. Several sites had collections of the Doodles, including Google itself, but this is the first site that does it all automatically, from different countries, allows rating, searching via tags, guesstimates when the next one will appear, and a lot more. Kinda cool just to browse random Doodles as well.

Quick note: Did you know that clicking on one of these Doodles on Google's home page will automatically take you to more information about that particular topic?

Did you also know if you go to the google home page and do a blank search by hitting "I'm feeling lucky" without anything in the search box, it will return the second left until 2010?

Yeah, rumor has it, that's the time left until the release of their Google phone, the much rumored Google Nexus...
