  1. Drawing insight into Google's Doodles

    <span class=&quot;dateline" style="text-align: justify; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">SAN FRANCISCO &mdash;</span> Google.com is the most visited online front door in the United States. According to Alexa, a longtime Internet statistics firm, it is also the second most visited home page in the world behind Facebook.com; roughly 40 percent of global Internet users visit Google's primary portal at least once a day. And yet, considering the culture-changing ubiquity of the Silicon Valley-based tech giant &mdash; which reported more than $50 billion in revenue last year &mdash; what a user tends to find there is famously, comically austere. It is a digital Antarctica: Sheer white for miles, no ads, no headlines, just a search bar and the Google logo.

  19. A wild thing who made his art sing

    During a 2003 &quot;Fresh Air" interview with NPR's Terry Gross, Maurice Sendak, the much-praised children's book artist responsible for "Where the Wild Things Are," admitted that he never created picture books with children in mind. "I've convinced myself &mdash; I hope I'm right &mdash; that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth," the author, who died in 2012, said. "And if they don't like what they hear, that's tough bananas."

  23. Window shopping: How writers view the world

    Before the Internet and multitasking, writers had more static distractions. More than anything, they looked out their windows. Most writers, in fact, still engage in the time-honored ritual of looking away from their keyboard, their manuscripts, and allowing their eyes to take in the landscapes visible through a pane of glass.
