Google's funky text is all too flat.

Am I the only one who noticed that Google didn't have a special logo for Easter this year? In fact, looking back to the logos for '04, we didn't get one then either. We get World Water Day, Independence Day, Halloween, and MC Escher's birthday, but they won't give us just a little bitty cute image for Easter? Harrumph.

Now on to a couple new links. First up is amaztype (don't ask me to pronounce it). This is a nifty little interactive tool. Just type in an author, start the search, and be amazed. ;o) It takes a little bit longer to finish than I would prefer, but it's fun. And if you choose an author with more than one book (Dan Brown, for example), you can scroll over one of the images and click it for more details.

For those of you who prefer your browser with a little more bling, there's the always classy PimpZilla. And because it made me laugh, I'll forgive the creators for their typo.

If amaztype didn't quite satisfy your need for quirky text-related utilities, then try out Web of Letters.

So you've completed Crimson Room and haven't gotten your fill of impossible-to-complete-without-a-walkthrough-or-a-really-weird-way-of-thinking games, then have a go (ooh, I sound all British) at The Doors. (The game, not the band).

And last, at least for this particular post, but not least is All Too Flat, a weird but vaguely funny place to waste a few minutes. Kinda gives you the "this is so dumb, but hahahaha" feeling that I've heard you get from watching Napoleon Dynamite.
