    Doodles are great thing implemented by Google because it makes Google more personal and alive not just algorithm based system.

    My favorite Google doodles of the year was Les Paul’s 96th Birthday and 60th Anniversary of Stanislaw Lem’s that you haven’t listed:
    http://www.google.com/doodles/60th-anniversary-of-stanislaw-lems-first-publication – As far as I know it was only for Europe at the time.

    Both where really cool because you were able to interact with both doodles and have some fun playing guitar or this game as for the second my mentioned doodle.

    The interactive Jim Henson was the best. A nice honor of his death.
