Little Monsters
Just invited to littlemonsters.com. Decided I'd sign up via Facebook Connect (since most people will)
Interesting things:
* popup affordances on the home page guide you to features
* Facebook connect used but only to bootstrap your account.
* Sets up an email forwarding address for you that uses your Facebook primary email.
* Has a link to mail.google.com on your profile to read your email (and a gmail logo)
* No public profiles (as of yet..)
* System posts supported (my profile creation has already gotten one "Like")
* Has +1 buttons!
* Very pinterest style for posts -- big page full of posts. None of this single-column vertical scroll.
* has up and down votes.
* "Fan" instead of following.
* Friend finder not there.
* Sorted list of "New" users.
* Chat rooms.
* "t" button for notifications.
* and holy smokes! -- actually they're provisioning a new mailbox for each user on the GA+ domain littlemonsters.com.
plenty more, happy to demo.

Take your Security vitamins!
Security reviews may seem unpleasant, but they're really important to defend our users against the bad folks out there and just plain unintentional sloppiness.
I have to commend the team, their diligence revealed some hair raising issues in a SaaS partner that could have had disastrous consequences for us and all of said partner's customers.

Cannot wait to see HIP (Hangout In Person) and Hangout on G+ with everyone!

It's always interesting to bootstrap your friends on G+. In this case I'm helping a DJ/Producer get onboard. He wanted to get his Youtube account linked which has all his videos. (which is a separate Gaia)
First had to get him on multilogin (and have him chose different profile photos so he didn't get confused.)
Then guided him over chat on adding links to his G+ profile... which resulted in the following..
Hopefully getting him into a Hangout goes better.
(Oh and if you like synth-pop ala pre-industrial ministry check him out:

Jeff Atwood's puzzle: "A hundred prisoners are each locked in a room with three pirates, one of whom will walk the plank in the morning. Each prisoner has 10 bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin. In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is, or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners' hats, but not their own. Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth. Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesn't know that a pirate doesn't know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N+1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or not after having determined which bottle of wine was poisoned and what color his hat is, what is the solution to this puzzle?"
Good one, Jeff, but you forgot to say that the monkeys have a flashlight and they have to cross in 17 minutes...

I keep doing the latter and I'm hoping knowing the rational reason _why_ will help me get out of this habit.

On Saturday, my friend Danielle and I got to try something awesome. Minneapolis' Minnehaha Falls freezes during winter. There's a little splattering of water still falling over the ledge, but most of it turns into this wonderful array of temporary stalagmites and stalactites, hanging like a curtain in front of a shallow indent in the rock.
I'd heard about people who climbed behind the ice before, but I'd always assumed you'd need special equipment--ropes and crampons--to get back there safely. Turns out, that's not the case. The hollow in the cliff face is shallow, but it's wide enough that you can just saunter on in with little trouble.
I posted one of these shots from my phone yesterday. Here's the rest of the set.

It makes me sad when journalists basically state that "Google sells your information".
That said -- there was some interesting discussion in this piece, especially the question "when does targeting become discrimination?". I'd like to think that our algorithms are better than that. However advertisers will often choose their audience based on demographic data that may not actually work...

Please welcome Baron von Luxxury to Google+! Add him to your music or DJ circles today and check out his new album which you can snag for free for one week only. (though it's definitely worth paying for..)
Dubbed the "Post-Post-Synthpop King" by the LA Weekly, Baron Von Luxxury seeks to erase the lines between high and low art by merging elements of innovative dance music with the idiot immediacy of classic pop.
I had the good fortune to work with him at Red Hat before he became famous. Some day I'll tell some stories about hairnet banner ads and psychic web-sites trying to go legit by offering linux phone support. (yes! really!)
