Simple pleasures for simple minds? The Google logo had some additional art again today -- celebrating Sputnik's 50th anniversary. I was 2 years and 3 months old. My dad took a photo of my brother and I holding the newspaper with the Sputnik headline on it. I wonder where that photo is? I also heard over and over about the kick in the pants that event was to American education during my teacher training. Happy anniversary, Sput!

Sputnik must have blown some people's minds. Your generation seems to have many more historically significant, and memorable moments than mine.
