Google today replaced its homepage doodle with an interactive synthesizer doodle to mark the 78th birth anniversary of Robert Arthur 'Bob' Moog, who is better known as the self-described geeky-toolmaker-turned-visionary.
Born on May 23, 1934 in Queens, New York, Bob Moog had a strong passion for electronics, and used to consider himself a geeky, socially awkward kid.
Bob's father George Moog was an electrical engineer for Con Edison. So, Bob, from an early age, built small radios, amplifiers, three note organs and other such projects in the basement workshop with his father.
