Yo,
We should all be proud that our love for the Moog is honored today as Google’s doodle.
Just open up Google and love it.

I think it’s great what Google is doing with the Doodle: exposing people across the world to an incredible invention that has changed their lives in more ways than they know. I am proud to say I am a Moog synthesist.
Kenneth,
You are good people, need more like you. This a great day. I hope that Old School makes it even better
You rock in MN.
Dave
There are a few threads where this is mentioned but I’ll reply here by saying that I’ve been online alot today and the buzz on this spread FAST beginning with some of the postings from .jp and .au last night (relative to East Coast USA).
And I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this has to be the most creativity provoking Doodle yet. Have a look at this: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/05/best-moog-google-doodle/ and if you hope over to YouTube you’ll see dozens more; some good some … well… it’s all good !!! On a day like today, I’m really proud to be a part of it all.
I was having fun with it at work. I had the computer speakers cranked…then the internet connection slowed down. I guess I wasn’t the ONLY one playing with the virtual Google Moog. 
I read an interesting article a month or so back (published in 2011) which calculated the so-called productivity loss from people running the Les Paul Google Doodle from work at something like $268 Million. I’m not saying the number is anywhere near accurate but even if it’s 2/3rd inflated it accounts for a tidy sum.
I work fair sized company that has gone the way that most have, which is to lock down specific sites from use, prohibit private/personal email, have policies against using ‘social media’ on company equipment, etc. In short, companies aim to remove any temptation to waste time, do something other than work, or in the fractions of a percentile basis, provide an avenue for people to email trade secrets that are not captured by corporate email.
But to me, the diversion is a suitable alternative to taking a smoking break, taking a nap in the company cafeteria, or doing Internet shopping. Such freedoms actually promote creativity and are educational opportunities. Many of the best run tech companies have figured this out. Many of the poorly managed behemoths cannot find a way to manage even the basics of business, forget about fostering free thinking and actually improving employee satisfaction; but I digress.
As fun as the interactive ‘synth’ was, on my particular setup (MacBook Air running Snow Leopard) clicking on the synth took me to the search results page instead of playing music (easily rectified by going directly to Google’s Doodle site). But my point is that they pulled together a really good summary of bits and bobs: (haha get it) Moog and a cross section of what ‘Moog && Music’ encompasses. Hopefully it prompted scores of folks to read, learn and maybe even dip their toe in for more.
But anyway, here is the article:http://www.webpronews.com/googles-les-paul-doodle-was-a-productivity-killer-2011-06
