GOOGLE . . . Gregarious, Giggles and Groovy Doodles. I'm Hooked!

I am a Google junkie!

If there is something I don't know and need to find quickly I Google It . . . and sometimes giggle at the greatness of the search!

  So why the post about Google? Well, besides my obvious obsession with Google search it's the LOGO...the Google Doodles as they are creatively called and it all started back in 1999! Here's the exact explanation as to why the logo change from the Google site itself hence

(hence...a funny word, but seemed appropriate...I think I'll google search the origins of that when I'm done here)
the quotations

 "In 1999, the concept of the doodle was born when Google founders Larry and Sergey played with the corporate logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. A stick figure drawing was placed behind the 2nd o in the word, Google and the revised logo was intended as a comical message to Google users that the founders were “out of office.” While the first doodle was relatively simple, the idea of decorating the company logo to celebrate notable events was well received by our users."

From that point on it became a tradition and now requires a team of amazing artists to create the awesome changing Google Doodles.  The doodle team has created over 300 for Google.com in the US and over 700 have been designed internationally.  Like the amazing company that they are they even host a Doodle 4 Google Contest that lets K-12 students submit their doodles in hopes of being selected as an official Google Doodle Logo for a day!  Actually anyone can try and get in on the doodle deal by either submitting a suggestion for a new Google Doodle to  proposals@google.com or submitting an actual doodle fan design to

 proposals@google.com  (The Google doodle at the beginning of this post is my Pop Art Minis version)

You can find all of the Google Logos through the years here! 

I think that one of my most favorite Google Doodles so far was the one they doodled for Dr. Seuss (Mar. 9, 2009) I may be biased as I LOVE SEUSS TOO! 

Which brings me to my shout out poem or "Seuss-ism" about "Google"

I google morning, noon and night.

I google happy, silly, trite.

Do you dig groovy google doodles too?

I think you should . . . I really do

Now if you think I've lost my mind

because I google all the time

It could be true . . . I agree with you

but to google is to find great things

things that I could not find with bings

Ok, Enough of this google poem

I'm off to google jeroboam!

Oh, wait . . . one last thing before I go
Google let's you create your own search logo
Check it out . . . it's fun . . . you'll see
Soon you'll be a google junkie just like me!

And to think that Google started out as "Backrub"

The Cat In The Hat and A Whole Lot of That!

So I got up this morning . . . earlier than I would have liked considering I didn't actually fall asleep until 2 something in the morning (still adjusting from my flight back across the sea.)  Anyway I found for some strange reason I had a whole lot of rhyming going on in my brain.  This may be caused in part by being gone for the last week on a product development trip to China, where most of the time I find it hard to get across my somewhat silly sense of humor which could have thrown my brain into a tizzy.  LOL  I must admit is not a bad place to be especially if it can create a journey of Seuss-tacular proportions!

So I couldn't resist pecking out a couple of rhymes that hopefully will end up being the starting point for some creative Pop Art Minis expression (I can definitely see something creative coming out of this) and a little play time as well! 

So without further ado . . . rhyming inspiration from me to you! 

A Seuss-Soicetacular Journey!

How about an adventure a Seuss-tacular journey

As crooked as the road from here to McKearny

If you ask how to get there, I’ll say use your imagination . . .

It’s a fantastical place, an inventive creation.

So gather your thoughts and think in rhyme

If you put your mind to it you’ll have the best time.

It’s a place that you can visit at the drop of a "cat’s hat"

And stay as long as you want it’s as simple as that!

A Trip Across The Sea . . . You See?

It’s good to be home after my trip across the sea!

And it seems that my head has me rhyming with glee.

I think that this day may become quite outrageous

A day full of fun it may be contagious!

So if you’re in the mood for a crazy good time

Please come along, join me for a day full of rhyme!

A footnote or two! A tip of my "Cat's Hat" to the good Dr. himself!
My favorite "Seuss-isms" 

One Two Three of my favorites you see . . .

1.  "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

2.  “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

3.  “Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

How about you? Do you have one or two?

 A Trip to Seussville! 

 Glad the day started early because I'm a long way from done!

Wishing you a day of non-sensical humor and fun!
