There were two doodle’s last week (Jules Verne and Thomas Edison) but today there is a new one, which is to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Today’s one is based on a sculpture from Robert Indiana called “LOVE sculpture”. Keep thinking that this is not one of Google’s best.

As with most doodle’s visitors to the search engine would like to know the history behind it, and thankfully The Mirror has been doing its homework. Art fans will know that it was exhibited in New York City back in 1970, and was first designed for use on a Christmas card. There have been many other reproductions over the years, such as stamps etc, but none will have the audience as the Google Doodle.

You can be certain that people will not be happy with Google’s latest effort, as this is just a plain image, there is no interaction with this one. The first O has been replaced with a heart, with all the letters in red and green and blue background – nothing too exciting to talk about.

Over the years there have been a number of Google Doodle’s on Valentine’s Day, but cannot help but think that the team could not be a little more creative. There have been some great logos in the past, with Pacman being one of the best. What do you think Google could have done today?

Are you happy with today’s Doodle?

Over the past couple of years I have forgotten to get my wife a card, but only because I have been on holiday – although my wife seems to remember to bring one along with her. If you are a little like me, then you can always choose to go on the Internet and print a card out for free.

I know that my wife and many other women out there would not be happy with this, but it seems that we have forgotten about the true meaning of the day – that’s commercialization for you. There are a number of ladies out there who loves the personal touch, drawing your own is always nice, but if you are no good at drawing then a downloadable printable card is seen as a nice gesture.

I can still remember being a child once many years ago, and I was so exited to get a Valentine’s card – wonder how many people still get that feeling? Going back to these free printable Valentines Day cards, the first thing you will need to do is make certain you have enough ink in your printer, failing that an eCard is another alternative.

There are a huge choice of websites to choose from, some better than the others; there are even some that specialize in cards for kids, such as FamilyFun. Two of the most popular websites has to be 123 Print Cards and Free Printable eCards. These are just a few that we could find, maybe you have a few other ideas for our readers?

What will you be doing for your loved one today?

Now it appears that Chillingo has decided to do exactly the same with its popular Cut the Rope game.

According to a recent article by Leanna Lofte over at tipb.com, the Valentine’s Day update – which has just hit the Apple App Store and is now available to download for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad – brings a new Valentine’s Box containing 25 Valentine’s-inspired levels.

The update features addictive “split-candy” gameplay, which sees players having to join the two pieces of candy together before they feed it to a Cupid-inspired Om Nom. Version 1.2 also features new art work, new levels, full Retina display support and a new Valentine’s Icon.

As noted on the itunes.apple.com website, the Cut the Rope game – which requires Apple iOS 3.0 or later – has been described as one of the most original and fun-filled apps that are available on the App Store. You can view a video of the Valentine’s Box below this post.

Will you be downloading the Cut the Rope Valentine-themed update?
