Bram Stoker's Birthday Google Logo

This is kind of a trivial thing to be starting a whole thread on, but I just wanted to call people's attention to something that, chances are, you've probably all already seen anyway, since everybody on earth usues Google, don't they? Anyway, if you're one of those hipsters who use Yahoo, or one of those people stuck in the 90's who still use Altavista (it still exists, I swear! although close inspection reveals it's now actually owned by Yahoo), check out this cool graphic in honor of Bram Stoker's 165th birthday!

Awesome. Even if I'm not specifically a fan of the things they've showcased you gotta dig Google's taking the effort to recognize them. Stoker was of good Irish stock and created something that's stood the test of time.

I recommend to any fans of the book to read Tim Lucas's Book of Renfield. It's a nice little prequel to the book that I really enjoyed.

Today's google logo is a great little video dedicated to Saul Bass. Very classy, and a lot of Hitchcock in there, making it somewhat forum-appropriate.
