cuando vi esos campos me recordo a la foto de bienvenida del XP creada por Charles O'Rear
fotógrafo estadounidense y conocido en el mundo por la famosa imagen "Bliss" (también conocida como "Felicidad") que ha sido utilizada como fondo de pantalla estándar en Windows XP.
La Ondulante colina de verde hierba, en realidad suele estar cubierta de cepas de uvas , pero entre 1990 y 1995 las cepas de Napa Valley fueron infectadas por una plaga llamada Phylloxera, lo que obligó a retirar el 30% de las vides, plantando en su lugar la hierba que veiamos en la imagen.
O'Rear tomaría esta fotografía cuando conducía por la carretera 12/121, al pasar por dicha colina éste se detiene fotografiando el paisaje desde un lado del camino..
yo tambien la tome desde el coche solo que no pare :)))

曾經維護一個中大型的軟體專案，命名為 "Sputnik!"，取其第一顆成功發射的人造衛星之革命性意義，最近手頭有類似的計畫，於是回頭檢視過去撰寫的文件與架構圖，也順道整理 "Sputnik" 人造衛星的歷史背景。
"Sputnik" 是俄文「旅伴」的意思。1957 年十月四日，蘇聯發射之人類第一顆人造衛星的代號，就是 Sputnik。就規格來說，Sputnik I 重量約 83 kg，外觀可見四支鞭狀的天線、配有兩具無線電廣播發射器，繞地球運轉的高度預計約 250 km，發報機持續二十三日，將連續的 Beep 傳送給地球上驚愕莫名的聽眾，一個月後的十一月三日，蘇聯繼而發射 Sputnik II，裡面帶了一隻萊卡犬 (Laika)，是第一次送出有機生命體，但因衛星無法回收，所以也是史上第一個太空飛行犧牲者。
作為老美的死對頭的蘇聯，發射 Sputnik 人造衛星的訊息重創美國股市。發射 Sputnik I 前一日道瓊斯工業平均指數為 465.82 點，而該月 22 日跌至 419.79 點，三周跌幅近 10%，來自軍方與民間的擔憂，美國積極投入太空科技的鉅額研發，也開啟太空競賽的序幕。1958 年一月，也就是 Sputnik 1 發射將近四個月後，美國發射了第一顆人造衛星 Explorer I。
提到 Sputnik 與蘇聯在人類太空史多項「第一」的紀錄，一定要介紹蘇聯太空開發之父 Sergei Korolev (1906 - 1966)。Korolev 於 1930 年代投入火箭開發工作，第二次世界大戰後成為蘇聯太空計畫的最高負責人，在他的領導下，發射了人類史上第一枚人造衛星 Sputnik、完成載人的太空飛行，其中參與此次人類史上第一次太空飛行者，就是 Yurii Aleksevich Gagarin (1934 - 1968)。
在 Korolev 樸素的辦公室中，設有直通蘇聯共黨總書記辦公室的熱線電話，東西方冷戰方酣時期，蘇聯當局絕口不提 Korolev 的名字，因為對蘇聯來說，Korelev 是極為重要的人物，當時西方人士只稱呼他「主任設計師」(chief designer)。直到 1966 年，Korolev 逝世後，蘇聯才公開他的名字，並且讚揚對蘇聯太空開發計畫的貢獻。
Korolev 自 1946 年到去世之前為止，一直待在「Korolev 特設局」(現在改稱「能量 EPO」，此處過去連蘇聯的記者都無法進入，更遑論是外國人了。其建築內的一角落設有小而整齊的博物館，不只有紀念 Korolev 的展示堂，和蘇聯太空開發歷史的概要。其他房間則展示有從 1948 年發射成功的蘇聯第一枚 R1 飛彈，一直到發射 Sputnik、聯合號的 R7，對蘇聯初期火箭開發史而言，可說是極具價值。
初期的人造衛星 Sputnik I、Sputnik II，以及月球探測船 (Luna)、聯合號太空船等陳列品，在其他地方也可看到。不過，Gagarin 第一次載人飛行所使用的東方一號 (Vostok I) 返回艙陳列於此，其外殼燒成黑色，內部仍保有當時的模樣，或許因此沒有對外公開。
在人類文化的層面來說，因為 Sputnik 人造衛星的巨大震撼，原意為「旅伴」的這個詞也被擴充為「人造衛星」之意，並且造就一連串以 "nik" 結尾的新詞彙，比方說 beatnik (披頭族)、computernik (電腦迷)、jazznik (爵士樂迷) 等等。

Google continues to celebrate Sesame Street's 40th Anniversary today with a doodle logo that suggests that the Cookie Monster has been munching on cookies that were in the shape of "Google".
Amusingly, the Cookie Monster peers over the top of the search box as though he's hiding behind it, or as though he might munch on it next, and one feels a bit like you're putting your hand in his mouth when you type stuff into the search form...
Happy Birthday, Sesame Street!
Google's doodle logo to commemorate and celebrate "Pi Day", 3/14/2010.
Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three decimal digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.
Google's logo commemorating Frank Lloyd Wright's birthday in 2005. Google apparently admires Wright's work, and is seeking to take over the Guggenheim museum in order to rebrand it.
Google today posted a logo commemorating Michael Jackson's birthday. Michael Jackson, "The King of Pop", was born on August 29, 1958, and would've turned 51 today, if he had not died a little over a month ago.
The Google Michael Jackson logo sports two feet wearing shiny shoes and ruffled socks, "on-point", with them on their toes as though in the midst of a dance move.
This is a picture I took in California's Hearst Castle Museum of a comic strip in a newspaper on display.
The comic strip is entitled 'Barney Google' and google is in the exact same font as Google's logo today. Below the logo is the text 'registered U.S Patent office'.
The paper is dated August 14, 1936.
Logo di Google per commemorare il 153 anniversario della nascita di Nikola Tesla, grande fisico e scienziato serbo.
With the update of the Google logo, I decided to recreate an Etch A Sketch I made of the Google homepage. It was really tricky to get those tiny letters in "I'm Feeling Lucky!"
Google celebrated E.C. Segar, creator of Popeye the Sailor Man, today with one of their cool Google Doodle logos.
The logo depicts Popey socking the "oogl" with his oversized fists, and the iconic spinach can forms the "e" in Google. The letters bang against the can, and it shoots a stream of spinach into Popeye's mouth, assumably, just like in the old cartoons and funny papers.
This is the first time I've seen them treat a logo with the halftone screen dots which used to be the hallmark of offset color printing!
Offset color printing uses multiple printing runs to immitate a full range of colors we see in the real world. Basically, the printing expert creates printing plates for four or more colors, traditionally "CMYK" - cyan, magenta, yellow, and "K" for black. They make each printing plate by making it a screen of dots -- since with old printing plate technology an ink color could only be printed or not printed. So, the tiny dots allowed an image to be printed in a halftone so that it appears in different gradations of shade to the eye. So, four different colors are printed in the shape of the logo, each with a screen turned or "offset" from one another by an angle, allowing the tiny dots of colored ink to each be printed slightly apart from one another. In the human eye, at a slight distance, the four colors mix together to create a full range of colors, immitating the full range of colors we see in the world.
The Google Popeye logo purposefully displays the larger offset dots, reminding one of printing of the Sunday Newspaper funnies - cartoon section.
The Google Logo celebrating the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton.
The Google name letters are all but obscured in this doodle logo, but it certainly represents the zeitgeist of the moment!
Google logos wallace and grommit only in google UK. Also en google.de, google.at and google.ch and other. Thanks Pascal H.
I really liked this Google Logo. Apparently, they took it down at the request of people representing Joan Miro's Family. :/
The first Google "doodle" was created in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they attended Burning Man for the 1st time.
