Celebrating 11 regenerations over 50 years, today’s Doodle (or Whoodle?) is a downright charming mini-game based on everyone’s favorite Sonic Screwdriver owner. While you’ll get to start with your favorite incarnation of The Doctor, meeting an untimely end from a Dalek or Cyberman will mean restarting the level as a different curiously dressed Time Lord. Bite the dust once too often and you’ll eventually have to continue playing as, ugh, Peter Davison. Give us your best times below — our current record is 12:59.

Depending on your point of view, today’s either the 66th anniversary of an Air Force experiment gone awry or an alien landing. With tongue firmly in its cheek, Google is celebrating the Roswell incident, the most (in)famous of alien encounters with one of its interactive doodles, in which you help an extra terrestrial rebuild his spaceship after it breaks apart in New Mexico. Once you’ve done that, you can then kick back with an X-Files box set or two — assuming you’re not into the adventures of doe-eyed alien teenage romance.

There’s little in life finer than pitting youths against each other in battle, which Google’s annual “Doodle 4 Google” contest clearly appreciates. The competition takes thousands of Google logo doodle entries and pits them down from thousands to 50, one per US State, and organizes those entries by grade level. The images are then put online for the world to enjoy, as well as to vote on — out of the five doodles with the highest votes, one national winner is selected, which Google plans on revealing on May 22nd in New York City. This year’s theme is “Best Day Ever,” which means outdoor activities to one Maine-based middle schooler (seen above), and hanging out with bees to a Michigan-based high school student. Of course, there are 48 other excellent pieces to peek at before casting your vote, though you’ve gotta get in there before May 10th at 11:59pm ET.

So, it was Easter yesterday, and of course most folks would have expected some sort of Easter Doodle to go along with google.com. The thing is, Google had other ideas, and their decided to go ahead and throw a celebration for Cesar Chavez’s birthday in lieu of Easter, which is what you can see on the Google search page image capture as seen above. Needless to say, this has caused a reaction among the masses, but I am quite sure it is no big deal in the long run.
Just a little bit of background information – Cesar Chavez was an activist, labor leader, and an organizer, and 31st March could have been his 86th birthday if he were still alive. It is really interesting to see how some folks actually felt the impact of a lack of an Easter Google Doodle, that they decided to take the unprecedented threat of switching over to Bing. Talk about a strange reaction! Bing does not have the kind of fun doodles that Google offers, and their search life is going to go down the dumps (popular perception of many) once you make the switch. Do you think that this is an over-reaction on the part of some netizens?

Google Now holds a place for artwork, but it hasn’t had much visual variety outside of major cities — there’s only so many times you can see a generic mountain landscape before boredom sets in. To our (admittedly mild) relief, Google has quietly spiced up the area for certain users. At least some of us running Jelly Bean now see an optimized version of the latest Google Doodle while we’re busy dictating a search. Not everyone who’s technically capable is seeing the Doodle at this stage, so don’t be disheartened if there’s still a generic backdrop. If the daily image becomes more ubiquitous, though, we’ll have an extra reason to come back to Google Now for more than just weather or sports scores.

Google Doodles are the Cracker Jack prizes of the Internet, the digital back of the cereal box, a quirk that humanize the giant search company. And it’s funny because the Doodles themselves exist in a sort of mysterious world—they pop up one day and then disappear. Very few people know about the process of creating Google Doodles. Well, here are the humans of the Google Doodle team talking about doodling. More »
