Title: can anyone explain?
Post by: Clubine Ranch on December 24, 2008, 09:32:06 AM
I do not understand the picture on Google when their page first opens up. When you run the cursor over it, it says"Happy Holiday 2008". Until last Christmas they ran really neat Christmas type pictures but the last two years are to me so very odd.  Anyone know the answer?

They are by Dennis Hwang.  They are referred to as the "Google Holiday Doodles." Dennis is Google's international Webmaster but also designs the doodles.  I believe from looking at them, they represent a toymaker in the old fashion sense.  Using hand tools to create a "google" on his wood workbench.  Pretty Cool!  8)

Jerry, Had to laugh at myself as I was still not seeing what you described so I googled "Google Holiday Doodles" and when it came up it was so clear a picture and made sense. Thank you. Once again it pays to ask questions and not judge too quickly. Now I will try clicking on it a couple of times to see what it does.  Merry Christmas! Barbara
