Taken a look at Google's homepage recently? If not, we'd recommend you
do so, STAT. The image you see here will only be an active doodle -- a
name given to Google's "special" logos used to commemorate certain
events and holidays -- for a few more hours. According to a lengthy
report over at the Wall Street Journal, the Holiday 2010 Doodle is El
Goog's "most ambitious one yet," taking five artists some 250 hours to
create. Google estimates that it has crafted some 900 doodles since
1998, with a whopping 270 of 'em running in 2010. This particular one
relies on 17 interactive portraits of holiday scenes from around the
globe, and it took the team a number of months to finally whip up a
finished product that everyone was stoked on. We'd encourage you to
click around on it to discover what the tiles actually mean, and if
you're hungry to learn about the shockingly interesting backstory that
surrounds it, the source link has a URL with your name on it.
