Members - I knew it must have been Katy Wu who drew the Google Doodle on last Monday's home page. Those of you who worked at Cinderbiter remember Katy who joined as an Assistant Art Director, she's now working at Google as a Doodler, one of those people who redo the logo on the home page. Here's a link to her blog with some of her Doodles.
