[Editors] your help for a google logo for MIT's 150th birthday, April 10

[Patricia Sampson]

The Google hack...sitting on the dome would be VERY cool!  One of my
colleagues in EECS headquarters shared a few contacts based on
EECS/ICP recruiting events.  At one point Google had t-shirts with
Google laced above the MIT dome...  Hope this comes off!
