Google adds "themes" to your Google homepage
I like plain ol' vanilla Google. It works. It's simple. No fuss. But earlier today, I decided to just check out the various themes that Google has developed for its Google homepages and settled on "city."
Very nice. Mellow. The colors and accoutrements change with the time of day and weather. (You need to give them a ZIP for it to work properly.) Right now it's shades of purple and blue with stars and a crescent moon. Nice.
My one concern is that the Googlelogo is a single, set color.
What happens when it's George Orwell's bday and the Google logomeister comes up with a spiffy logo-for-the-day?
All that remains to be seen, but the cityscape is nice and I'm enjoying it.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
