2. GOOGLE DOODLE

GOOGLE DOODLE

जहां नेट हमारा भरपूर मनोरंजन करता है वही गूगल डूडल भी हमेशा प्रभावित करता है. आज भी यही कुछ देखने को मिला.GOOGLE DOODLE में

गूगल के स्थापना दिवस  4 सितंबर से महज दो दिन पहले गूगल ने इस नए LOGO को अपने होमपेज पर एक डूडल के तौर पर लगाया है। गूगल की स्थापना चार सितंबर 1998 को लैरी पेज और सर्गेई ब्रिन ने की थी। बीते 17 सालों में गूगल ने कई सेवाओं को शुरू किया जिनमें जीमेल, यूट्यूब, गूगल मैप्स और एंड्रॉइड  चर्चित हैं।

ये वाला गूगल डूडल भी बहुत प्रभावित  करता  है .इसमे   LOGO क्लिक करने पर  डूडल की शक्ल में एक हाथ आता है जो गूगल के पुराने लोगो को मिटाता है और फिर मोम के रंगों से गूगल का नया LOGO बनाता है जो बाद में पूर्ण रूप से नए लोगो के रूप में दिखता है। नए लोगो में मुख्यतौर पर गूगल के दोनों ‘जी’ में सर्वाधिक बदलाव नजर आता है जो बाद में सम्मिलित होकर अंग्रेजी के बड़े ‘जी’ के रूप में बदल जाता है। इस नए लोगो में भी गूगल के मूल चार रंगों को ही रखा गया है।

इससे पहले गूगल ने वर्ष 1999 में अपने लोगो में महत्वपूर्ण बदलाव किया था। तब इसने एक उभार वाला (थ्रीडी लुक) लोगो बनाया था जिसमें पीछे उसकी परछाई थी। इसके बाद वर्ष 2010 में इसी लोगो के पीछे की परछाई हटाई गई थी और दो साल पहले सितंबर 2013 में यह लोगो उभार वाले लोगो से बदलकर सपाट (फ्लैट) लोगो हो गया था। कई बार बदले जाने के बावजूद गूगल के लोगो में अंग्रेजी के वर्ण का प्रकार नहीं बदला था लेकिन इस बार नए लोगो में अंग्रेजी के अक्षरों का प्रकार बदल गया है।

GOOGLE DOODLE

गूगल के आधिकारिक ब्लॉग पर लिखा है, ‘पिछले 17 सालों में गूगल बहुत बदला है। एक समय ऐसा होता था जब केवल डेस्कटॉप पर गूगल इस्तेमाल किया जाता था लेकिन आजकल लोग मोबाइल फोन, टीवी, घड़ी, कार के डैशबोर्ड से लेकर डेस्कटॉप तक पर गूगल की सेवाओं का प्रयोग कर रहे हैं।’ ब्लॉग पर लिखा है कि यह नया लोगो न सिर्फ आपको आभास कराएगा कि आप गूगल का प्रयोग कर रहे हैं बल्कि यह भी बताएगा कि गूगल आपके लिए काम कर रहा है। गूगल ने सर्चबार में दिखने वाले माइक को भी रंगीन बना दिया है और गूगल का यह नया लोगो जल्द ही उसकी सभी सेवाओं पर नजर आने लगेगा।

आप भी जरुर देखिएगा GOOGLE DOODLE

6. Who drew Google’s Brothers Grimm doodle?

image 2 Who drew Googles Brothers Grimm doodle?

For the 200th anniversary of the Brothers Grimm, Google has a pretty sweet doodle today that’s a wordless comic retelling the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

It’s a very cute little illo; unfortunately the actual doodle doesn’t make the artist clear (one annoying thing about those Google doodles) but the above link says it’s Matthew Cruickshank, who has done several doodles in the past. Some nice art at his blog, also, such as the sketch below.

Today’s Google Doodle is a tribute to Little Nemo in Slumberland—one of their best Doodles ever, a tribute to Winsor McKay. Don’t miss it! And be sure to click the tabs. GeekMom has a nice post up with some background.

New Thicklebit! Me love that boy.

I worked alllllll weekend on the book recommendations master list, but I still have a long way to go. Happy with its progress, though!

Last day to nominate books and book apps for the CYBILs! The Book Apps team would especially appreciate your help—lots of great apps still waiting to be nominated.

Semicolon reviews The Prairie Thief: ”a delightful little tale.”

I also like the fact that this story for young readers doesn’t shy away from those wonderful, challenging vocabulary words that my young readers at any rate relished and gloried in. Ms. Wiley uses words like “obfuscating” and “predilection” and “amenities” and “laconically” just as handily and appropriately as she does the shorter, also vivid words like “pate” and “mite” and “frock”, all of which might enrich a child’s vocabulary as well as delight her mind.

(Amy at Hope Is the Word liked that part too.)

Fox and Crow Are Not Friends is reviewed in this month’s School Library Journal:

Children eager to move beyond easy readers and older students requiring simple text in a chapter-book format will find this title a good choice. As in many familiar folktale themes, Fox and Crow are trying to outwit each other….“That will teach you not to steal my cheese,” says Mama Bear, whose presence in the earlier chapters will be noted by astute observers of Braun’s lively, colorful cartoon-style illustrations. With its crisp writing and short sentences, this is a solid addition.

It also gets a mention in this SLJ piece: “Fresh and Fun Books for Emergent Readers“:

Melissa Wiley retells and expands upon an Aesop’s fable in Fox and Crow Are NOT Friends (Random House, 2012; Gr 1-3). Three entertaining chapters describe how these two enemies repeatedly—and humorously—try to outwit one another to earn bragging rights along with a tasty piece of cheese. Sebastien Braun clearly depicts the animals’ antics with lighthearted artwork in sherbet hues. The straightforward text, amusing illustrations, and hilarious rivalry will encourage developing readers to persevere.

8. Oscar Wilde & Ahmad Shawqi Honored by Google Doodle


The Google Doodle team honored two writers in select countries last Friday. Oscar Wilde received a mysterious Dorian Gray-style doodle in honor of his 156th birthday. The Google team incorporated Arabic script into the logo to honor the birthday of poet Ahmad Shawqi (both embedded above, via).

Wilde’s most notable works include The Importance of Being Earnest and The Picture of Dorian Gray. To this day, he is widely considered to be iconic in the gay community. He passed away at age 40 in 1900 from cerebral meningitis.

Shawqi was known primarily as a poet. He was particularly known in the Arabic literature community for being the first to write poetic plays. The play which gave him the most fame and recognition was the tragedy, The Death of Cleopatra.
