Media creators have a long history of hiding little treasures in their creations for people to find called Easter eggs. This is especially true of computer folks. Check out Wiki’s article on Easter eggs here. Google developers are no exception to the rule. Over the years I’ve documented a few as you can find in this list, or in these directions. Google’s taken a bit of a different approach with these latest fun things because they’ve actually announced them which kind of makes them not Easter Eggs. They call them “Doodles” or something like that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
