Being Five is one of my favorite webcomics that I subscribe to (Least I Could Do is another*), and I was emailing with series creator George Sfarnas this morning, so I thought I’d share the Thanksgiving comic strip:
Hope you are enjoying the day and spending it with your loved ones. I’m off to dinner!
* and they couldn’t be more different
Hey all, enjoy Thanksgiving Day (even if your country doesn’t) and eat lots of turkey with no regard for your health. Or tofurkey, or whatever floats your boat. Just have fun today.
I’m watching the parade on NBC with the wife, and I’m shocked at how much Al Roker keeps mispronouncing everything. He was talking with Christopher Meloni, and asked him about his show, Law and Order: SUV. Oy.
Anyway, here’s Google’s Thanksgiving logo for 2007:
I think it’s a lot more festive than last year’s:
Yahoo’s doing an animated Flash logo again:
If you don’t have Flash, they show this image version:
Yahoo’s logo is the same one they ran last year, as far as I can tell.
Ask.com’s doing a full page image again, showing off this giant tasty turkey:

Dogpile’s running this:
Search Engine Roundtable has this logo:
Plus, the Cre9asite Forums did this:

Even Gmail has a Thanksgiving logo:
For some reason, Microsoft’s Live Search still has not run a single holiday logo, ever. They should get with the program.
Anyway, enjoy your Tryptophan!
GearsMonkey is a project on Google Code that uses the Greasemonkey scripting plugin to add Google Gears support to any website. The current code will let you take Wikipedia offline, letting you read the web encyclopedia offline, but with some coding skills you can modify the code to take practically any website offline.
(via Lifehacker)
Google seems content to continue leaving the job of adapting sites for Gears to others, which makes sense given the incredible amount of work it would take to do everything itself. Still, the strategy isn’t working, with very few sites supporting Gears, so maybe Google needs to get a little more aggressive.
