Original google doodler

Google doodles, the drawings that are designed on, around and through the Google logo on our home page, are the creation of 31-year-old Google Webmaster Dennis Hwang. Since Dennis began celebrating and marking worldwide events and holidays with his doodles in 2000, his work has been seen by millions and reached cult status, with fans waiting with bated breath to see his next creation, and even websites and blogs devoted to his work.

Denni's tips

Make sure your design complements the shape of the letters in the Google logo, but don't let that restrict your creativity.
Experiment with different media to see which one works best for your design (you can even create your doodle on your PC).
Don't over-complicate your design – simpler images often have the most impact.
Remember that your design could end up on the Google homepage, so imagine how it will look on screen.
Remember to use color well and think about how it interacts with a white background.
Avoid commercial or copyrighted images.
Think outside the box – try to create a doodle that's different from your classmates and hasn't been done before.
Feel free to use the space behind and in front of the Google letters, but try to maintain your design's overall balance.
Have fun! “Doodle 4 Google" is all about creativity and enjoying designing fun things. Think about how you want to change the world.

Dennis Hwang (born c. 1978) is a graphic artist who designs the festive logs for Google on special days.(His real name is Hwang Jeong-mok.Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, he moved to South Korea when he was about five years old,so he's South Korean

Typing

(WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE KEYBOARD)

This picture is my typing result table.You can check your typing capability from typing site.My best rate was 75,but I didnt captured that picture,so i captured my 2nd best rate picture. My second best rate was 71.People said my rate is good,but I can't gratified with my rate. I want high rate than my rate.

Tips for success

Don't look at the keyboard – not even a quick peek! Look only at the screen.
You can easily find the starting position without looking at the keyboard – feel the bumps on the letters 'F' and 'J' (at the bottom of the key).
In the beginning, you will be practicing with letters that don’t spell out any words. As you get to know the keys, you will use "real" words and sentences. That is the only way to really be successful when learning to type.
Be sure to measure your typing speed periodically – with our tool you can check your progress in both speed and accuracy as you learn. The number of words per minute indicates your typing level.
Typing games are a fun way to improve your typing speed and accuracy. Have fun while you learn!
