Mother's Day 2013

On this second Sunday of May 2013, in honor of all mothers around the world, Google has made this interesting app doodle. Apparently, the contraption featured in this app seems to be some sort of Mother's Day Giftcreatinator.

At each of the various stages in the gift-making process, the user has the freedom to choose one of the three available options to input into the device. And at the end of it all, a special Mother's Day card would pop out depending on the user's prior inputs. Interesting, ain't it?

Saul Bass' 93rd Birthday

On today's Google homepage features a short Youtube video made to commemorate Saul Bass, an American graphic designer and filmmaker, best known for his design of motion picture title sequences, film posters and corporate logos.

Amongst his most prominent works include the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm (Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm), the opening-credits sequence in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, designing of AT&T's "bell" logo in 1969 and "globe" logo in 1983, Continental Airlines' 1968 "jetstream" logo as well as United Airlines' 1974 "tulip" logo.

Malaysia GE-13

Today's Google doodle is a very special one drawn to commemorate Malaysia's GE-13. I believe most of us woke up early in the morning and went to line up at the polling stations at least 30 minutes before it had started. And now that we had done our part...the rest is up for the nation to speak for itself (in a matter of hours).

Labour Day 2013

The 2013 Labour Day doodle shows a simple drawing depicting an office worker, an orchardist, a paint worker and a construction worker all lumped together into one picture. To me, although it looks simpler, it does "paint" a more encompassing scene in contrast to the 2012's.

So compared to the 2012 Labour Day doodle, which do you like better?

Ella Fitzgerald's 96th Birthday

Ella Fitzgerald was an American jazz vocalist with an incredible vocal range. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing (as according to Wikipedia).

Earth Day 2013

Earth Day 2013's doodle features an interactive app that takes you through the seasons of nature...which in my opinion is far more interesting than the static floral one shown on Earth Day 2012.
