Google Father's Day

Ah Father's Day, the one day of the year that we are celebrated for all the things we do for our kids and family. Well, I guess that's not totally true because every day is Father's Day in my house. There's nothing better than being a dad. I have two wonderful kids and a beautiful wife that keeps the family running. She's the CEO, while I play the CFO role.

I find it kind of funny that we celebrate dads (and moms for that matter) only one day out of the year. Parenting is not a cake walk. It's a lifetime of challenges. And while my kids are only 7 and 4, I'm only really starting my journey as a dad. As my mom says, "the bigger [kids] get, the bigger problems they have."

Google always has a pretty neat way of jazzing up their logos for special occasions, mysterious dates in history and sometimes just because.

Today, of course, the company is celebrating Hallow's Eve or better known as Halloween.

If you cruise over to Wikipedia and look up Halloween, you'll find that the word itself comes from the 16th century. It's a Scottish word from "All-Hallows-Even" (“evening”), which is the night before All Hallows Day or “All Saints Day”.
