How fitting that this is my blog post today….on my birthday~!!!!

Google is known to celebrate special occasions, such as the birthdays of John Lennon, Hans Christian Andersen and Agatha Christie by replacing its standard homepage logo with custom doodles. Now the search engine is commemorating every Google user’s birthday with a special birthday doodle and Google Profile flair.

Over the weekend, Google announced the birthday surprise, explaining that the special doodle will appear on google.com if you add your birthday to your Google Profile and are signed in to the service on the special day.

You can then click on the birthday logo to see your Google Profile, which will be decked out with virtual streamers, a cupcake and a “Happy Birthday” message from Google.

The personalized touch is a nice addition to the Google experience, but we also suspect less altruistic motivations behind the gesture — mainly, to encourage more Google users to claim and fill out their Google Profiles.

On Sunday, November 7, 2010, America will be back to standard time after changing the Daylight Savings Time 2010.

On November 7, clocks in America will be adjusted and turned back one hour, marking the end of Daylight Savings Time 2010.The adjustment of clocks according to the Daylight Savings Time is not just a random crazy law, but it is a deliberate attempt to save energy by taking maximum advantage of the sunlight during a period of 8 months, which is from March through October.The practice of adjusting clocks according to the Daylight Savings Time began back during World War I as an effort to save and utilize energy for the War time period.The Energy Policy Act set the official time and dates for the Daylight Savings Time in 2005.

Each year at 2:00 am, the clocks are set forward one hour on the second Sunday of March that is known as the Daylight Savings Time.On the first Sunday of November at 2:00 am, clocks are then adjusted to standard time one hour back.

This is also a good time to check and replace the batteries in all of your smoke detectors.
