Google is celebrating M. C. Escher's birthday with a rather nifty take on their logo.

Escher would have been 105 today.

Thanks! Speaking of, have you read Godel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter?

I have, but it was a very long time ago, and I don't think I understood above half of it. Why?

I'm in the middle of working my way through it, and am enjoying it immensly. I'm always looking for fellow fans, so I figured I'd ask.

Well that's finally found a use for the KFM "of course the entire internet is part of my file management system bwa ha ha" browser's habit of not loading fresh if it has the possibility of being lazy and using the cache. It makes it unusable for LJ, but it does mean I can keep that Google logo all week.
