Okay, so Google has its knickers in a bunch about Bing–I get it: time for desperate Me-Too moves. Which, of course, means saying goodbye to the comforting minimalism of Google’s input page. And given my taste for austere interface design, you can imagine that I’m a bit grumbly about this.

However, I’m also the sort of Can-Do Guy who sees opportunities in almost everything, and since a picture was needed–wait for it–there was no question that it had to be Tilda. Further, the fact that the Google elements had been redesigned to be knocked-out of the background meant my old friend Black needed to be called in–to keep things appropriately quiet. It’s just the way I stylistically roll . . .

Thus, a video screen-grab and and little Pixelmator later, this is my new and (yes, vastly) improved search page. Opportunity. More accurately, given my Tilda-smitten circumstances, thrilling opportunity.
