Building the Stanisław Lem Google doodle

A screenshot of Lem doodle in-universe countdown clock

And that’s one way of looking at the life of a Google doodle – months of work, weeks of testing, 48 hours of baking it in, all for something that people play for five minutes. Every one of those thousands of JavaScript lines is hoping that those 5 minutes will be time well spent. Enjoy.

Unstuck

There are times in life when the blank notebook page stays blank for far too long—even the most productive people occasionally get stuck. For moments like these there's Unstuck, a recently released iPad app to help you work through the situation at hand. Acting as a step-by-step troubleshooter and catalyst for action, Unstuck walks the user through a series of questions that end in a diagnosis, complete with suggestions of thought-provoking tools to help find a solution, as shown in this cleverly animated intro video.
