This will be the first post that I’ll be updating continuously with new contents as they come. For this one, the contents are the Google doodles, Google logos at www.google.com that are different from the one used normally. These doodles mark special days of the year and may differ from country to country.


Update – I just found out that Google has them all listed here, complete all the way down to 1998. Cool!
