Summary

Google Developers Blog Editor, Scott Knaster, shares a whimsical Fridaygram post that covers a variety of intriguing topics. The post highlights the Doodle 4 Google competition, which invites US students from grades K-12 to create their own versions of the Google logo, showcasing the creativity of the 50 state finalists and encouraging public voting until May 10th. It also delves into a paleontological tidbit about prehistoric fleas, Pseudopulex jurassicus and Pseudopulex magnus, which were significantly larger than today's fleas and plagued dinosaurs. Additionally, the post features a delightful mash-up of a world map created entirely out of cupcakes, celebrating the joy of combining two beloved things. Published weekly, Fridaygram includes an assortment of interesting topics beyond developer subjects, like a nod to Star Wars Day with the playful phrase, "May the 4th be with you."
