For some reason, one of my browsers decided to be the recipient of a Google redesign today. It looks like they haven’t rolled this out to everyone, but for what it’s worth, here’s how my internet pipes now look.

Above is the homepage. The recent AJAX resolve still applies, but the whole design has had a refresh. It was sparse to begin with, but it now seems even whiter, with flashy new buttons.

There's also a new logo. No longer anchored to the site by it's former drop shadow, it now pops off the page right into your lap.

But wait! There's more!

Ever google about some boring topic and Google's autocomplete comes up with something so much more interesting or just plain weird?  Take a gander at Autocomplete Me and see what other funny or strange autocompletes people have found. 

How do you like my autocomplete above?  I can't decide if i like "I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur" better or "i like to think of jesus as a mischievous badger."  It's a toss-up.
