Today is the birthday of Samuel Morse, the inventor of Morse code. Today, Google is sending out a message to everyone that it is his birthday. The logo is getting a lot of buzz and people are asking for more information about it. Here is a picture of the logo:

Supposedly, the logo is slightly off, in terms of morse code. I am not a morse code professional, but from the comments I have at the Search Engine Roundtable this morning, some experts are a little upset it is not in a single line. However, it does look a lot nicer this way. You can convert the morse code using a morse code converter if you like.

Google did do a special logo for Louise Braille a few years ago on January 4, 2006.
