1 Originally, the project was called ”Doogle” as per ”Google”, though given http://www.doogle.com was already registered,I - obvz - went with http://www.dooogle.com. Anyway, therefore, sometimes it’s seen as ”Doogle”, and others as ”Dooogle”.FYI.
2 The Google API this originally ran on was depreciated some time in the late aughts. I then had the site re-written in anewer API which was - again - depreciate a few years later. At that point, I canned the site which is it’s current state. Allin all, I think this had a good 7-8 years of ”live”.

FASHION & STYLE
What Taylor Swift Can Teach You AboutRompersBy MOLLY YOUNG AUG. 12, 2015
As with any style traditionally worn by babies — pigtails, overalls, pinafores
— a romper carries the risk of making an adult look as if she recently
escaped from her playpen.
It’s a tricky item. In the case of children, there’s an obvious utility: It’s
easier to get a wriggling tot into one piece of clothing than two. Adults with
normal muscle control don’t have to worry about basic maneuverability
when dressing themselves, and yet rompers are everywhere. What’s the
appeal?
To start with the obvious: It’s summer. And a romper is, by definition,
recreational clothing (unless your job description includes romping).
Snapping oneself into a playsuit allows a woman all sorts of conveniences.
“It provides a huge ‘no flashing’ benefit,” said Alexandra Amarotico, a
26-year-old photographer who lives in Hell’s Kitchen and has worn a
romper four out of the last eight days, by her count. “It’s an especially nice
perk in summer because your romper can be even shorter than your dresses
on a hot day.”
Yael Aflalo, founder of the eco-friendly label Reformation, is a fan, too.
“Rompers are great because you can make them work for day or night, and
they let you show off your legs without feeling overexposed,” she said.
Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss have both been seen loping around town
in rompers from the store. To thwart the “big baby” look, Ms. Aflalo advised
a light hand with finishing touches. “Keep your accessories simple,” she
said. “I like a lace-up flat for day and a chic heel for night.”
Along with daytime looks (onesies that could be lifted straight from the
1962 film adaptation of “Lolita”), Ms. Swift made a case for the formal
romper at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards and again at a pre-Grammy
gala this year. It’s not an unprecedented move: Jerry Hall and Bianca
Jagger wore rompers in the ’70s, during an era when leisure wear oozed
silkily into evening wear.
Still, the best pro-romper argument may be the simplest one, which is
that it cuts morning-outfit deliberation time in half. Why make two choices,
top and bottom, when you can make one?
