Google created an interactive doodle that commemorates legendary guitarist Les Paul who was born on this date (June 9) in 1915. The doodle is a virtual guitar that lets you play a tune and save it for posterity. You can use your keyboard or mouse to compose your ditty. [Google]

He was also at the pointy end of technology development, pioneering things such as multitrack recording and effects ‘processing’. Had he been born later i’m sure he would have been hacking the Linux kernel as well.
