Google Doodle

I hate to state the obvious, but Google Doodles Rock! They inform you of things you never knew you wanted to know, such as today, October 29th, would have been Bob Ross' 70th birthday! How amazing is that? Ok so it's a little over blown on my part, but honestly think of how something as common as a search engine can inform the masses of really useless info.  Imagine how that could impact really important issues such as reminding people to vote, or read a book (not a top 10 list).  It never fails to intrigue me enough to click on it and read about something, someone, or somewhere I didn't know about.  I love watching Bob Ross as a child at my grandmothers on one of 3 channels that she got...Him and good old Justin Wilson, the Cajun Cook in his red suspenders...And that random squirrel Bob Ross sometimes had.  He made art look so easy, there was a whole following of his who would sit in fron of the television and follow his movements, record his words and actions to an actual VHS tape and practice the technique after he was off the air.  How foreign is that concept to us now? We are in such an age of instant gratification where we can simply YouTube a how to or even the good old Bob Ross video itself.  I think we loose something that way.  I learned to read crochet patterns on YouTube...It could have benefited me much to to take the time to go to a knit shop and receive an actual lesson. Anyway, I guess that is quite the rant, but I will include a link to a video of the one and only Bob Ross, and a taste of Justin as well :)
