I don’t know if any of have happened to see the Google customized logo for today but it looks distinctly like it’s missing the letter “l.” Knowing Google’s penchant for obscure mathematical, science, and literary references, I did a search on the word “Googe.” Sure enough, I got a wikipedia entry for Barnabe Googe, a 16th century poet mostly famous for the following line:

I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die.

I had wondered if “Googe” was on purpose or just a simplebig mistake.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
