Highland cows, Nessie and football. What's not to love (apart from cricket), if you're me?

What's that on top of the g, kit?

There's a kitty walking on top of the G. IT's a G-KIT, DO YOU SEE?!?

I like this one too. Tea and scones!

It's just the normal Google logo for me. Does the site read your location by IP address or something and show you a customized logo if you live in a certain place?

― Django Blowhardt (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

co.uk dude

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes.

Also, if you're in the UK and type google.com it automatically forwards you to google.co.uk

That sounds like a challenge to me! Go on then...

Yeah that one with the teapot is my favourite.

Google doodles are the creation of Google Webmaster Dennis Hwang, whose work is seen by millions every time he exhibits on the Google homepage. The 28-year-old calls his drawings "doodles".

lol

I like this one from Tom Bennett, arch-royalist and eurosceptic:

In my design, I have included two very British topics. Last April it was the Queen's birthday, so I have included images of royalty. I have intertwined royalty with the sterling as the Queen's head is on the pound coin. I have chosen royalty, as our national anthem is of our Queen, and sterling because it makes us unique as we are not Euro.

"last April"

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

that's a kitteh? i thought it was a G-oat.

― teh_kit returns! (g-kit), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

you guys use google.co.uk???? i knew i wasn't imagining a america/britain split on ilx!

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

if you want to find uk only sites you have to use google UK and it searches the whole catalogue as well, the same as google.com

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I think there's more than google autoforwarding to the US/Britisher divide.

― ONIMO ph34rz teh NOIZE (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

There is a way to still see google.com from a UK machine (without spoofing your IP) but I can't remember what it is now.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Any .co.uk users with a burning need to use .com can go to http://www.google.com/webhp - which doesn't autoforward

― ONIMO ph34rz teh NOIZE (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh - it's on the front page "Go to Google.com". Clever.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

(clicking on which just takes you to http://www.google.com , not http://www.google.com/webhp. And then if you bookmark it and use that bookmark, it still doesn't autoforward you in the way typing www.google.com does. Ah, the mysteries of computers.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

hmmm

co.uk adds "&meta=" to the search string but .com doesn't

― ONIMO ph34rz teh NOIZE (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i managed to type in google.com without being forwarded, would this be something to do with our works firewall/gateway?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:26 (seventeen years ago) link

typing google.com gets me google.com, typing google.co.uk gets me google.co.uk; what precisely are you blethering about.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

google.com shows my email address in the top-right corner, which .co.uk doesn't do.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmm... typing google.com is no longer forwarding me to google.co.uk! Must be a cookie thing.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

To test that I wasn't going mad, I have just typed google.com into my colleagues machine and it forwarded me to google.co.uk.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Same here. Oh well.

― ONIMO ph34rz teh NOIZE (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Cookies. I believe if you nuke your cookies you'll go back to UKing.

enjoying today's Google doodle. primitive but pretty ambient sequencer for Oskar Fischinger's birthday. be sure to click on the cog at the bottom because that is where the delay button lives and everything needs delay.

unfortunately you can only have delay OR phaser whereas my general musical policy is to turn both to the max and enjoy the resulting soup for several hours without actually remembering to add any kind of dynamic or melodic progression, but I still have a pretty soupy noise going on so I'm pleased

― a passing spacecadet, Thursday, 22 June 2017 09:34 (six years ago) link

progression is bad, extended ambient soup forever

i couldn't help it, high school me was like "oooh i'll draw a swastika"

sounded awesome on delay though

― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 22 June 2017 10:46 (six years ago) link

this is really sick

lol ive been getting a ton of hits on an old animation i made and put on youtube tagging Fischinger, everyone saying "google brought me here" was wondering what was up

This in the key of E. Create a blues progression by shifting key to A and B at the end of each phrase: E-A-E-B-A-E
