Google Saint Patrick’s Day 2010
Google is celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day today. This brings new meaning to the button on their homepage, “I’m feeling lucky”.
It would have been fun if they had turned that button into something special today, maybe give the 156,403,406th visitor a free Gmail account or something ;)

Full StoryNo Google Love for Valentine’s Day
Today is Valentine’s Day here in the United States, but Google is showing no love for the day of love.

But this year, just Winter Olympics logos.

Full StoryHappy Holidays from Google
This year, Google did something a little differently for the holidays. They typically have a fun little logo and it points to a Google search. This year, they are pointing to a few different logos, not a search.
Here’s what they look like.
There was a fourth one with this, but it just looked weird.

‘Tis the Season

Google Celebrates Mother’s Day 2009
I have to throw out a huge shout-out to my mother and wish her a happy mother’s day. I don’t think she reads my blog, but I know my sister does — and a huge shout-out to her as well, her name is Jennifer.

Full StoryGoogle Celebrates Earth Day
Today is Earth Day. April 22nd, 2009.

Full StoryGoogle Not Celebrating Easter
Today is Easter. I would like to say happy Easter to all of the Google Inside readers. Today is a special day to remember.
But Google doesn’t agree.
Google is open about agreeing with same-sex marraige and open about where they are politically, but they will be open about any possibility of celebrating Easter. [...]
Not so Happy Pi Day
Today is Pi Day, but Google is not celebrating it. Instead, Google is celebrating Giovanni
Here’s the excerpt from their website,
In 1890, Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli drew this map of Mars. Today, on his 174th birthday, we are excited to include his work with many other new features for Mars in Google Earth.
I’m a bit [...]
Dr. Seuss Google Logo
Today’s Google logo was a tribute to Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as his pen name, Dr. Seuss.
He was born on March 2nd, 1904, which would have made him 105 years old today. It’s really hard to believe that the Dr. Seuss brand has been around for almost 100 years. Of course the [...]
Full StoryNo Celebration for President’s Day in the US
This is something I actually find a little odd. They celebrate artists, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Holloween, and everything else under the sky, but Google is not celebrating the day of all our past presidents.
Google cannot try to hide behind the “we are not political” line, we know Google is quite forward with politics and [...]
Valentine’s Day 2009
Today is Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, Google is sporting a new logo as usual.
This year’s logo has the same mystery as V-Day 2007 had. The logo spells out “Gxogle” as 2007 spelled out “Googe,” while neither spell out Google. Maybe Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year where they feel [...]

Google to Encourage Voters
Today is election day in the USA. John McCain vs. Barack Obama

Yesterday, Google celebrated Beatrix Potter. Today, Google is celebrating the birth of NASA.
Props to NASA for accomplishing 50 years of work!
In addition, today we’re including a small map of the moon.

Full StoryGoogle Celebrates Birth of Marc Chagall
I actually had to look up this one to find out who Marc Chagall was, but alas, another painter.
I do find it quite odd that Google celebrates a lot of painters and not too many other professions.
