One of my small pleasures in life is the daily surprise of having a new doodle (or not) on Google’s ever simplistic homepage. I love how they react on the news and historical events with humor and talent. It got even better when they started doing interactive ones like the awesome Start Trek doodle or those they created for the Olympics.
