Here I am admitting I had a very senior moment when I posted this yesterday morning. For whatever reason I could not come up with the word logo. I almost didn't post this because I couldn't think of that simple word. I did post it knowing that you all would figure out what I was talking about. Linda

Here's the explanation for why Topeka: NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- In the rich tradition of April Fool's Day pranks, Google has renamed itself after Topeka, Kan., accompanied by an absurd explanation from the company's chief. On Thursday morning, the company's home page was titled "Topeka" instead of "Google," although still in its distinctive blue-red-yellow-green font. Facebook Digg Twitter Buzz Up! Email Print Comment on this story How Google, er, Topeka's home page looked Thursday morning. Why? Because in March, Topeka Mayor Bill Bunten announced that he was informally changing the name of his town to "Google," just for one month. He told CNN that he was doing it for "fun." This is Google's tit-for-tat explanation, according to its official blog, posted by CEO Eric Schmidt. "Whatever the outcome, the conclusion is clear: we aren't in Google anymore," blogs Schmidt. April Fool's Day carries a long tradition for pranks and punks, which affect every aspect of life, from the school yard to the board room. Since the advent of the Internet, companies and individuals have gotten inundated with funky e-mails making wild claims, on this day in particular.

I've had Google as my home page for a looooong time now, because I don't want to miss any of their special logos. I saw today's logo right after midnight, and checked to see what it was about. I'm kind of tempted to do a Google Artist home page, but I'm afraid that it wouldn't show their special logos when they have them. So, I'm going to stick with "regular Google."

I didn't think about looking at it. Thanks for the reminder. They do some great logos. One of my favorite commercials is a Honda Commercial. This was shot in real time with no CGI involved in the sequence. It required 606 takes and cost $6 million to shoot and took 3 months to complete. I can't help but think of the pressure on the camera operator to not goof it up! Red Green has a lot of great "Rube Goldberg" type creations but has never quite matched the Honda commercial!
