Google Doodle

Today's Google Doodle celebrates the birth of female aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart 115 years ago. 

The exploits of the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic have inspired generations of adventurous young girls. Earhart's plane disappeared over the Pacific ocean 75 years ago whilst she was undertaking an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. A recent multi-million dollar expedition seeking the wreckage of the doomed flight returned with no results.

Google Doodle (interactive!)

Today's Google celebrates the birth date of Robert Moog (inventor of the Moog Synthesiser) whose 78th birthday it would have been today (he died in 2005).

Turn on you speakers - you can play with this one. It is pretty limited but quite addictive fun.

Please note the aggressive marketing by Chrome (who have done what Firefox never did and over-taken IE). In times past it was only if you were using IE you'd see that little 'use chrome advert'!
