RantWoman thanks the Google home page for this excursion. Most of the time the Google home page has a large G o o gle in the middle of the screen with a search bar and then assorted links above and below. Now and again the G o o g l e part of the page gets replaced by various alternatives: the winners of their children's drawing contest, something topical for Valentine's or St Patrick's Day, or today a G o o g l e spelled out in small pixel-sized blocks colored in a way that ads up to the way the regular letters sometimes look when RantWoman is not wearing her glasses or during some other visual moments.
RantWoman thanks Google very much for frequently putting a description of these special graphics in the text read by RantWoman's screen reader. Well, RantWoman sometimes is in a hurry and gets annoyed by ad texts in her sign-in screen, but RantWoman is grateful for the entry of this day calling to mind the 25th anniversary of the video game Tetris, a lovely play of colored blocks and geometry that RantWoman really used to be addicted to.
RantWoman feels duly obliged to note that today is also the 65th anniversary of D-day. The makers of Tetris, two guys from Russia, may be forgiven due to their nation's war experiences for holding the holiday in less esteem than the Western allies. RantWoman is herself amused if only on design grounds by the Tetris evocation
