Avast ye! Google has announced the national winner of its fifth annual Doodle 4 Google competition, and we'd like to congratulate second grader Dylan Hoffman of Caledonia, Wisconsin for his fine work. As a response to this year's theme, "If I could travel in time, I'd visit...," Dylan created a pirate scene doodle that features a vibrant parrot, a rotund swashbuckler and a treasure chest full of loot to form the Google logo. According to Dylan, he'd ideally, "Sail a pirate ship looking for treasure, have a colorful pet parrot and enjoy beautiful sunsets from deserted islands." Sounds quite nice -- especially without the scurvy. For his creativity, Google has awarded Dylan with a $30,000 college scholarship, a Chromebook computer and a $50,000 technology grant to his school. Later this fall, Dylan's artwork will grace a special edition 64-count box of Crayola crayons. No doubt a fine plunder for an excellent work of art.

I think that the second grader has better art skills than I do.

 

I LOVE looking at the kid's work http://www.google.com/doodle4google/finalists.html

 

 

I want to play it!!

 

I read that it's interactive, but it's not being interactive with me

 

I thought so too and I can't interact with it either. It says that I need to upgrade my browser. I guess they want you to use google chrome.

 

Hmmm, I'm using google chrome now I thought it wanted me to update it, but I have the current version. It looks like it could be fun to play with!

 

I hope that's like the gee tar one
