Google Today (05-23-2012)

To celebrate 78th birth day of Robert Arthur "Bob" Moog, Google took a page from the successful Les Paul Doodle and provide us with a playable Moog Synthesizer, which also doubles as the Google logo as seen in their homepage today.

Moog was an American pioneer of electronic music and best known as the inventor of the Moog Synthesizer. Moog was born in New York in 1934 and was building and selling theremins with this father from 1954 on wards. You will have heard the song of Moog synths in pretty much every form of music around 60's. From the soundtracks such as Midnight Cowboy, to artist such as Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder.

Funny thing about Google homepage today is the you can play the keyboard using the number and/or qwerty keys on your actual keyboard and use the cursor arrows to move between. You can adjust the mixer, oscillators, filters etc. 

Mother Monster Concerts on Despite Protests

An appreciative crowd which came in droves, almost filling up the SM Mall of Asia concert ground last night on Lady Gaga's first set of concert here in the Philippines. The Asian leg of Lady Gaga's tour has seen various protests, including in Indonesia where her Jun show has been denied for permit. Here in our country, we've seen almost hundreds of Christian protesters gathered near the to the concert venue on Sunday, holding little candles under umbrellas to shield them from the rain.

They were taking their stand against the blasphemous songs and videos of this singer-song writer Lady Gaga. According to them, she can be a big influence for immorality and that she is an anti-Christ human. 

But as I have said, despite of so many black advertisements and protesters. The concert was a bit success and spotted with full blast of Lady Gaga's fans and supporters. Edgar Tejerero said, the concert was originally scheduled for just one night but was extended two because of overwhelming demand.

The city government has already warned Lady Gaga to refrain from nudity, lewd conduct and blasphemy in the Philippines, or else she will be paid by the law.
