Little Nemo


Not the fish...

Seeing the Google Doodle today with an animation/illustration of Little Nemo inspired by Winsor McCay's comic, I was reminded of the Little Nemo Nintendo game I used to rent from the local video store.

Keith Haring

I posted a link to a graffiti artist yesterday, so it's only fitting Google Doodle honors one today. After all, the world only follows the things I do.

Google doodle today honors the legacy of Keith Haring, an artist and activist who would have been 54 Friday.

Happy birthday, Gioachino Rossini. The Italian composer would have turned 220 on Wednesday. Rossini's work plays an enormous role in movie and TV culture – from Seinfeld and Family Guy to Looney Tunes and the Lone Ranger.

Jackson Pollock

Today is Jackson Pollock's hundredth birthday. I expected the Google Doodle to be related, but they already did one for his 97th.
