Friends, there I was just minutes ago, heading over to Google for yet another Web search, when I beheld a sight that, frankly, made my day. Check it out TODAY (it won’t be there tommorow)!
…Did you look yet? I almost hesitate to discuss the image adorning the Google home page before you actually see it. So I’ll stop for now and ask you what your reactions are.
I for one am as pleased as punch, but I wonder if the graphic in question could possibly be accessible to the population in whom it would probably generate the most pride. Any geeks out there have a clue?
Bon anniversaire, Louis!
Is that Braile?
Yes, Braille for Google. And if you place your cursor on the logo, a sign pops up that reads, “Happy birthday, Louis Braille!”
Very interesting and thank you for the link to this web site.
Although I can’t read braille, I have seen a number of actual examples of Braille printing.
When an aural reader encounters the graphic, or for text-based browers, they should hear/read, “A picture of the Braille letters spelling out “Google.” Happy Birthday Louis Braille!”
The logo SHOULD be available here (and you can right-click and “save as” if you want it:
