For all of you who read my blog:

I'm not sure how wide-spread the news of this is, but I really would like to share it with all of you:

Google is having a "Google Doodle" contest, where anyone in grades K thru 12 can "doodle" the Google name. You've seen these doodles when you've done a google search...last Christmas one of the o's showed up as a wreath...that kind of thing.

I know a few of you are really artistic, and I thought I'd pass along the news. I just heard it this morning.

I got this from someone at work, and it made me laugh out loud, so I'm posting it here...I'm honestly not sure if it's copy-righted or not, if anyone out there does now, please tell me!

Top 6 Things I look at in the online Newspapers I read:

1. Obituaries - to make sure I haven't died yet
2. Births - to see if any of my friends (or my kids' friends) have had babies
3. The headlines
4. Anything that starts with "George Bush said"
5. Any technical news that looks interesting
6. In the local paper, the photo page, also to look for friends or just people I know.
