Google has never been unabashed about the aesthetic design of their web pages. In fact, at Google, aesthetic decisions must always be approved by technical engineering justification. Google does spend a inordinate amount of time tracking your eyeballs. Making sure they know where your eyes take you as you parse any page, allowing them to maximize the information experience. Woe is the creative type in that place. But in this fun site one can track ones own ability to master eye to mind coordination. It has been told that Leonardo Da Vinci could draw a perfect circle by hand. Leonardo would also wear pink to make his complexion look fresh. Which is also true. But, at least now we can enjoy challenging our senses with The eyeballing game. I don't think it will turn anyone into a Da Vinci or Sergey Brin, but it might.
