I love Google doodles. They’re always smart, creative, take advantage of new tech such as HTML5 Canvas and CSS3, but most importantly they always provide you with a little slice of wisdom you may not have discovered otherwise. Like Gideon Sundback. Until just now, I had no idea who he was. Mad props to you Mr. Sundback, my pants and I salute you.
