First big google doodle fail I've seen - celebrating the start of 20134.
I think they missed the slash.

Google hasn't forgot, Slash is right here[^].
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Nah, Slash is right here[^]

You used Google to find that, didn't you? 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well yes - but I knew who I was looking for!

I bet the 4 pushes the 3 out when it is midnight somewhere. 
I also bet that I am not watching it.

Change your computer to 11:59:45 PM, then bring up googel's page. See what happens!

Maybe I'm bad at changing my time, but it didn't work for me. Watched it rollover to the new year and nothing happened

About five hours from now my father will put down his keys on his office table, say farewell to his colleagues, walk home and never go back.
He's retiring against his will.
Polio (^) hit him a second time (^) after that nearly 60 years ago he got away with a thinner right arm only.
Doctor says he must exercise, but not just moving his muscles and bones, but his brain too.
So I brought him a 17" laptop and explained him how to search and find things of interest.
But only reading isn't enough, so I intent to find him something to learn, and this what I'm asking you.
Have any idea what to teach a 60 year old man?

|
|
what about 'Lumosity' or, teach him a programming language and make him produce something - a game or something serious
|
|
|
|
|
Lumosity looks great - thank you.
|
|
|
|
|
Absolutely. Chess would be my first bet.

Good idea. He already knows chess so all I need is a chess application on his laptop...
|

|
|
|
Try chess.com. They have both in browser and iPhone/Android apps.

The traditional punishment for retiring is to be forced to learn golf.

I think it's a bit too much walking to him...

What about asking him if he'd like to do charity related work like helping out at animal charities, that sort of thing. That'd give him some of the the physical activity he needs. As for the brain, I'll let others add their ideas. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Depending on how he is with regards to manual dexterity origami is a fairly easy and enjoyable skill to pick up.
You don't have to be 'artistic' just patient and able to follow instructions.
Also it's very cheap. Even pre-cut origami paper is cheap(if you don't want cut and use A4).
I would not recommend books to begin with as it is not easy following the folds from a book - there are some good youtube tutorials which I can give you links to if you are interested.

Great. He can do an 'Origami School' for his grandchildren...
