The Google doodle today was specially made for our birthday celebrant today named Paul Cézanne. Born January 19 1839 and died October 22, 1906. According to Wikipedia, Cézanne is a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed. Read more here.

Perhaps we should really thank Google for having stuff like these. The tributes made by Google are not simply impressing us with their skills in doodle creations but somehow educate us history such as this. Without today's Google doodle, how would I get interest knowing about it's history and even know that the machine was invented 115 years ago. Well, maybe if I happened to study radiology.
Let's talk about the X-ray, no one can deny that X-ray machine is just one of the most useful inventions in medical study that ever invented. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a German scientist who was able to produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength and now known as X-ray in November 8,1895. According to Wikipedia," XRAY is used as a communications code word for the letter x." To know more about X-ray you may check its Wiki entry here.

Have you noticed today's Google logo or doodle? If you mouse over the image will show the title John Lennon's 70th birthday which will be celebrated on October 9. A great treat for Octoberfest right?
John Lennon's birthday this year will be celebrated with lots of different activities hosted by different groups. There will be concerts, museum, a discussions and screening of documentaries as tribute, sealing of a time capsule filled with Lennon’s music and items contributed by fans and a lot more.
I'm so glad that John Lennon's will have an en-grande celebration. For this will give today's generation to know more about famous personalities who have a lot of contribution in music industry not just a solo artist but also a group. Lennon is also a member of the most popular band in the 60's with their song being played and revive time and time again. This year The Beatles (Lennon's band group), was also tribute by reality talent search American Idol in which contestants performed hit songs of the said band. One of the songs who became a hit after performed in AI was Across the Universe which was also revived by Fiona Apple.
Let's go back with today's Google doodle : John Lennon, Have you tried clicking the logo? If you clicked it perhaps you will see the video embedded below.
The video featured one of the most popular song of John Lennon after he left his band The Beatles entitled Imagine. The song is really inspiring, I actually like its lyrics particularly, " Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too ". An achievement of great peace on earth. Well, Lennon was really an activist, a peace activist actually. I've watch one of the documentaries about his life in Discovery Channel which features his life in New York having a death threats and even wire tapped his telephone and already anticipated his death sooner. Anyway, here's a few excerpt from Wikipedia about his life as an activist.
Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, his writing, on film, and in interviews, and became controversial through his work as a peace activist. He moved to New York City in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while his songs were adapted as anthems by the anti-war movement. Disengaging himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to his family, Lennon reemerged in 1980 with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered three weeks after its release.
I just miss being called as John Lennon for having a long hair like his :( Imagine Lyrics
Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one
The Flintstones is just one of the Hanna-Barbera Productions cartoons I used to watch during my grade school. Though Tom and Jerry is my favorite one.
Btw, here's more about The Flintstones from Wikipedia.
The Flintstones is an animated American television sitcom that ran from September 30, 1960 to April 1, 1966 on ABC. Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, The Flintstones is about a working class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next door neighbor and best friend. It has since been re-released on both DVD and VHS. Critics and fans alike agree that the show was an animated imitation of The Honeymooners with rock puns thrown in
Happy 50th Anniversary The Flintstones! Thank you Hanna-Barbera Productions for creating for such wonderful cartoons such as this. My childhood wouldn't be complete without such entertaining tv shows back then.
I first received my very first Google Adsense income last month and it tasted so well. Today is Google's 12th year of existence and from its inception and start of gaining popularity, it didn't fail us to cater new product or services.
For this year only, the following innovations are so far I remember that I've enjoyed.
Priority Inbox - one of the smartest way to sort out your email is to use this feature
Google Voice - Chat within a browser is not new anymore but, a voice call to mobile and land line phones within a browser is really new this year. Although competing with Skype's VOIP is something like rocket science exploration for Google.
Drag and drop with Gmail - I'm really enjoying this Gmail's feature as it lessen my time looking for the file i wanted to browse. Also, if you're using Chrome, you can also save it by dragging the link onto your desktop to download it.
Google's Instant Search - One thumbs up! The other one is for missing the accuracy of what we wanted look for.
What else? And oh by the way, the Adsense and Google Webmasters updated its features too. Actually, there are too many stuff added to other Google products. What I have here are just a few of them.
P.S. Google Wave waves goodbye but it was opened-source to developers for further contribution from open source community.
