What's with the Google logo today? Clicking on it leads to a rather
enigmatic page. Any ideas?

Too lazy to find the answer yourself? Even in 24HSHD this has been
answered before.

Well at least you clicked and looked instead of just asking. But it
didn't get any better.

You don't Google enough.

www.google.com , search for google logo , it's that easy, you have both
words in your subject and message body.

What exactly is the depiction of the modified 'g' on the ?canvas? that
the mouse is behind?

I changed my mind from the closeup^1 - disregard canvas-- that looks
like the mouse's R hand on the L side of the 'g object' which might have
a hole thru' it and maybe that is the mouse's L hand reaching thru' the
'g hole object' -- but what are the 3 dimensional characteristics of the
g object? and the mouse with respect to it? and the interior of the g
object? what is that squarish shadow around/behind the mosue?

But I think we're going to run out of days before we run out of

So, how about google is the timid little mouse peeking out who doesn't
know if its doodle series should depict Christmas as a Christian holy
day, a capitalistic Santa Claus economy-stimulating buying scene, a
non-denominational non-religious 'pagan' winter solstice celebratory
season, or something else?

Google is a most excellent company to work for. If you have the right
personality, one can get hired for $125,000/yr right out of college.

It was, clicking on the logo (the OP did that) it says happy holidays in
9 languages isn't enough of a clue.

Didn't say it was unreasonable, just lazy. Now you mention it , it is as
well.

You are right there, going by the text on the page it's a "Google
Holiday Doodle", the page title is <title>Google Holiday Logos</title>,
so maybe the use of 'graphic' isn't correct.

Well, now that clue 2 has arrived we can 'see' the dimensionality of the
'g object' mouse door, since it was left ajar for the 2nd frame.

http://www.google.com/doodle10.html

The squarish shadow mentioned is/was the darkness of the open mousedoor.
The 'dimensions' of the g object door were hard for the artist to depict
in frame1 because the door with the g 'cutout' is actually a physically
impossible solid because of the lack of support for the impossibly
'suspended' g circle in the door. No wonder the eye/brain perception of
that was 'rebelling' at seeing the concept for the first frame that I
enlarged here....

> ^1 http://tinypic.com/iyd1yt.gif

The second frame has some minor dimension difficulties dealing the cat's
relationship with being behind the google wall and passing thru' the
google letters similar to the way the g object letter passes thru' the
door's dimension as if the letter were a different solid from the door.

The mind's eye 'grapples' with the question of whether a google letter
is 'real' or empty space -- like a light hologram. Since the cat and
mouse are going to be plugging in some holiday/Christmas lights, clearly
the google letters are going to be lighting up eventually, and changing
their dimensionality again in that way, holographically.

Day 2 looks like the world is hiding behind the blue g (see the land
masses to the left?) Makes sense with all of the happy holiday messages
in different languages on the "hint page"... Perhaps connecting the
Americas (the red and yellow O's) to Europe/Asia? (the green and red
L and E)... What do you all think?

You can't complain about Google, the alien society plugging colorful goog tubes
in people's asses in their UFO-s. Be-ware, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are scientologists
too, what the connection is between their two-hearted space-pirate society and
scientology is still a mystery. Though their traffic increased 30 percent this year and
their stock is a good fascist 400+, the great fascist scientologist society from
the future awaiting Terminator can shove their colorful goog tubes up their fascist asses.

P.S. 95% of computers are infected with tracking and spywares. Google is one of the
leading marketers who, as marketers, are not very pro privacy. Recently they scanned
15 million books from public libraries, and like Napster, they distrubute copyrighted
materials. They claim they respect copyright and respond to copyright claims for
removal, but should music makers have to contact Napster themselves for removal of
copyrighted materials? See the problem with taking materials from University libraries,
and sharing them online? Most books, as music are copyrighted. The situation is the
same as with Napster, but rather than users united by the millions, Google does the
"Napstering"-sharing of public and copyrighted materials they take possession of,
online. They are pigs, fascists, as that's what fascists do: take all books in the world,
for free, and add sponsor links to the public materials. The same with usenet. They
took monopolian access of a library from universities, and sponsor the messages with
ads (sponsor links), in a way turning all posters' messages, you and I, into Formula
One cars with stickers, while providing limited privacy. Google remained the primary
private soliciter of usenet since 2001 when they purchased Deja News who began their
private soliciting business on usenet with great opposition regarding privacy at the time
in 1995. Don't forget. Sorry, my thoughts about Google.

How are the cat and the mouse going to solve this dilemma?

Will it involve an 'extra' dimension? Since 'dancing around' with
dimensionality illusions has been seen in the first two frames.

http://www.google.com/doodle10.html

Or, maybe they will figger out some kind of 'connectivity' extension?

Thus the 'illusion' of dimensions and light and the 'holographic' effect
pervaded in the dimensional trickery - as if the 'solidity'
[solidarity?] of the google letters were that of a holographic
lightsolid which was exhibiting 'interference' and reflectivity.

Imagine that the google letters were 'reversed' - and that their back
side facing us was resultant whitelight and their frontside facing
backwards which was 3 dimensional and a colored 'resistant' hologram
were being illuminated by the Xmas lightsource.

The result would be the reflective backscatter which would have the
'glow' of color reflected on the white 'frontspiece' - thus the white
outlined backside letters and the colored reflective backscatter 'aura'
around them.
