Today's Beethoven Google doodle is really cute, even if it is a day late for his birthday. (If you're reading this after the 17th, you can go here. There's a nice little biographical sketch and a glimpse at the making-of process as well.) I like the ending best, after he's come through all his trials and tribulations. I do think they put him through a few too many of those -- as if the poor man didn't suffer enough in his lifetime without having extra indignities heaped upon him!
