[LM_NET] SHARE: Today's Google logo

[Barbara Braxton <barbara.288@BIGPOND.COM>]

For those of you wondering about the significance of today's Google logo, as I was, 
it is in honour
of Norman Rockwell's birthday.  

Rockwell "was a 20th-century American painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a 
broad popular
appeal in the United States, where Rockwell is most famous for the cover 
illustrations of everyday
life scenarios he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over more than 
four decades."

Since the controversy over the Google logo for Australia Day I have discovered that 
if you click on
the logo it takes you to an explanation of its background.
