Nostalgia
For the anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, Google has created a moon logo on the Google homepage. But, even better, they've created a version of Google maps of the Moon which shows the sites of each moon landing. Very cool. Seems like everyone's excited about this anniversary, but not sure why the 36th would attract so much attention...
Well, 1969 was a good year, after all, at least if you were a Beatles fan. They were still together, although it was their last full year as a group. Beatles.com has put together a Flash timeline of the Beatles with wonderful art, new videos and photos. It includes an announcement that the Cirque du Soleil will be producing a new show based on Beatles music. What a combination. For more nostalgia, whether the 60s, 70s or 80s are your thing, there's Nostalgia Central where you can look up movies, music, TV, or just get a rundown by year. Here's what happened in 1969.
