Lots of great stuff here.
Lots of great stuff here. Dan Wilson performing Semisonic classics, new solo stuff, commercial jingles with Fred Willard and a great version of the song he wrote for Adele - Someone Like You.

Good new for Typepad bloggers!
Good new for Typepad bloggers! It's now much easier to get your Google+ profile to appear next to your blog posts in search.
Here's what you do:
- Edit your Typepad settings:
- Select Google+ from the Add an account popup:
enter your Google+ 21 digit identifier.
- Add a link to your Typepad profile from your Google+ profile
Edit your Other Profiles section.
In a few days you'll start seeing your name and face next to your Blog posts in search. Check out the example below to see what it looks like.
Enjoy!
A bit tired of wordpress security issues. I've had to help friends get upgraded after they got _pharma'd_ and today the LinkedIn blog was compromised. What's funny is that they reset my LinkedIn account in addition to my WP account..
[and no I didn't realize that I still had access to the LinkedIn blog :)]

I was pondering about how pop music is tuned for mp3 dynamic range this morning and came up with an idea:
Google Play Musicgram
Just imagine:
- AM Radio effect for all your Sinatra songs.
- See what Elvis would sound like autotuned.
- "Chipmunk" Barry White. (or chipmunk Cyndy Lauper and see if your dog can hear it..)
- RPM 33,45,78 (for those that remember such things.)
- Def setting (adds random DJ scratching)
Or we standardize something like this as "html5 audio transforms".

Yahoo social APIs down for 8h -- no contact imports for us!
It was obviously a software push on their end. I could see the clusters updating in our graphs in stages.
Anyone have a backchannel? I've escalated through their NOC and I'm not getting anywhere...

Milk bottles are great, except for the drips when you pour. The folks at Chow restaurant came up with a bottle top that fixes this annoying problem. Just ask, they'll sell you one for a dollar.
They really should sell this online, I was unable to find anything comparable.
Straus should just do this by default. Emailing them now!
The guy at Chow didn't know where they obtained these toppers. I'll see if I can find out more the next time I'm there..
Goggles sent me here (scroll down), although I would rather find where these guys are getting them from. http://www.localamishfarms.com/glass_milk_bottles_for_sale.htm
Cool, should've thought of Goggles to search by image.
And look what we have here.. XFN for dead-people profiles.

Goal: Propagate family information
Insight: there's usually a member of the family that is the master curator of the family tree.
Solution: Nudge curators to share their family circle.
- Compute the Family circle sizes for all the people in your family circle
- If you have the largest circle prompt to share your Family circle to your Family circle.
Caveats: obviously if you're married/divorced your family circle might be disjoint, which means that there will be unrelated people.

I think there's some interesting research one could do on the virality of the photo you see below.
The sad fact is that my wife found this photo in her twitter feed because WIlliam Gibson tweeted a link to the flickr page. I searched for his name on Google+ and found him and was the first reshare, after that it spread quite nicely.
I suspect there's similar spread on Facebook, twitter retweets, flickr and other networks.
In any case I'm really enjoying following the ripples for this post and watching it spread throughout G+.

Interesting, but would need proper SEO to achieve the goals stated here:
Actually, I would say you've found a swarm. They are out looking for a new place to call home. The queen is in there somewhere.
Sometimes a new queen will take a group from an existing hive, and venture out on her own to make a new hive. Other times, a whole hive will relocate for various reasons. (not enough food source in former location, destruction of hive, etc...)
The bay-area housing market is tough all around :)

Consider adding a link your Google+ profile here
Then add your Panoramio account to your Google+ profile (in the Other Profiles section). When linked both ways it will enable people in your circles to find your Panoramio content in personalized search.
[Note: This works for most sites supporting authorship that include profile pages.]

We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.
Please follow along as we share some of our ideas and stories. We’d love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass?

You have a problem running macos NFS Lion via a firewall.
You have a problem running macos NFS Lion via a firewall. You decide to use nfsv4. After a few hours you have five problems.
I knew I was in trouble when all my searches led to the following and nowhere else. (In the end I used fixed rpc port numbers and nfsv3, ugh..)
Also I'm curious if anyone has gotten nfsv4 working with the latest Lion and latest Fedora (or or other kernel 3.3 based systems)
When doing anything mac-specific I get tons of 'nfs recovery' and 'jukebox' errors...
And all this time, I thought macs were supposed to "just work" ;)
nfsv4 is a bit of an interoperability horror story, adding resource forks and extended attributes only makes it more painful.
Still -- I wish this would work, I hate all the finder dot-files and would prefer if they were stored in the filesystem directly as xattrs...

And I see that La Roux has a page here but they haven't done much with it. Consider circling and they might start posting here in addition to twitter/facebook.

The La Roux album is pretty good.

Born in 1988.
Closing the viral loop: we're slowly getting there. Here's a personal anecdote.
- heard a neat song on the radio
- used Ears to figure out what it was.
- watched the youtube video via Ears link. Liked the 80s-TRONish vibe enough to +1 it.
- Searched for La Roux on the browser, found friends recommending specific tracks.
- back to Ears, go to Play Music.
- Bought the album after listening to recommended tracks.
- Sharing this here (and will on public G+ in a few) so others can discover.
Loops like this are what power your social network. We can still do a better job, but I'm quite happy with my experience here and I hope others will slowly get there too.
discover, consume, share, repeat FTW
