Waiting for people.oz to turn green?  Play this....

Or heck, play anything from the 51 albums in the Rockabye Baby collection.

Some gutsy tagging on P turf.

Graffiti partially removed/obscured and one bag of trash dealt with this morning.

I have a bag with solvent, gloves, rags, trash bags and a scrub brush.  If other people are keen on helping I can leave it out.  I also brought my portable leaf blower -- I can get some of that broken glass taken care of.

Also reported illegal dumping using SeeClickFix on 7th & Linden  (Download the App, it actually gets stuff done).  Also can someone get Caltrans to pick up the sofa and other junk that was dumped in the lot?

Hey WOPR folks, let's clean up West Oakland.

I used to live in SOMA and there was a guy who would clean up all the trash and butts around the corner of 7th and Howard.  His small acts made a huge difference and he was the most popular guy in the neighborhood.

There's a trash bin at the corner of 7th and Adeline, so arrive a few minutes early, clean up and win a few hearts and minds.  And remember we have hand sanitizer on the bus.

Couple more things you might want to look at:

Couple more things you might want to look at:

** While testing I saw a few errors pop up when looking for the _escaped_fragment-= version of pages.  Looks like this:

unknown domain: goodeggs-garbanzo-seoserver.herokuapp.com

** Your pages have a lot of boilerplate in them that can confuse things.  Consider adding html5 header/footer/nav elements. or just getting rid of much of that from your server-side-rendered output.  and....

** Seriously consider adding rel="canonical" -- it's the best way for Google to know the URL you want people to use and it helps to disambiguate your pages.

Regarding mixpanel you can see the unminified JS if you view source here:

Not a huge amount of bytes to be saved, but it can't hurt :)

People can still play the video in the page, but now they can also +1, Follow, and Reply to it.  This engagement will make your conversation stand out in the new Youtube.com comments section.

Hi widget lovers.

Hi widget lovers.  You may have noticed a new look for the +1 and +Share buttons that are consistent with the Follow and Badge widgets.  We hope you like them.

You'll also notice that they scale up beautifully.  All of our buttons are now using SVG to render the iconography, and the Roboto font for text. There's even some SMIL animations hiding in there too.  All of this is perfect for your new high dpi laptop, tablet or phone. ‡

Please let us know if they're working for you and if you have any suggestions. Thanks for using Google+ widgets!

‡ results may vary on IE8 and Gingerbread browsers.

Paging absentee Google-owned Youtube channel owners -- time to start policing your comments.  If you're not going to moderate *and engage* just disable comments.   Otherwise while you're away the partying teens will trash the place.

For sport and old-times-sake I spent time reporting porn/abuse/spam on popular videos and Google-owned channels.  I saw the usual hideous garbage in "Newest First", but what I didn't see was any engagement from the channel owners.

So to repeat, own your channels.  Moderate and engage.  Moderate and engage. *Moderate and engage*.

[Also banning a few abusive individuals will go a long way towards eliminating the ascii-art genitalia until the ML algorithms catch up..]

Munchery delivers.  Had a nice meal from them yesterday and noticed that they're also here on Google+.

Even if you can't get them in your area you can admire their fine food photography.  This attention to detail pervades the rest of the experience, including thoughtful packaging, high quality ingredients, and artful  presentation.  Highly recommended.

I have one invite left for purchasing Google Glass for the first person that wants it.  Remember the requirements are:

- be a US resident

- be 18 years or older

- purchase Glass

- provide a U.S. based shipping address OR pick up the device in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles

Wow, lots of questions! We'd rather "show" than "tell" so here you go: the mono earbud, and the Glass that Explorers will be getting when they swap later this year.

Edit: More questions! The earbud plugs into Glass, so you can choose whether to use it.

One benefit of missing the shuttle is visiting the West Oakland McDonalds and observing the use of technology. Pretty much the opposite of Google demographics you can find anecdotal societal changes first hand at the WiFi watering hole.

Mobile first. Yes
Bluetooth headsets - more than you'd think.
Parents and kids on ancient wintel laptop.
Multiple IPads with keyboards.

Religious argument ended with "Look it up on YouTube!"

Earlier this week, the number of +1s on my G+ page suddenly and inexplicably dropped from around 5,000 to approx. 800. I complained to Google 2 days ago but so far those haven't been reinstated, and it seems Google doesn't know where they went.

Did the NSA steal those, too?

Bin packing is NP Hard....

1st time with Shopping express-extended.  Oh the boxes!

Bottom box is 2ft ^3 -- toilet paper/paper towels.
Middle boxes contained misc things from other stores.
Top-one is 14" ^3 -- It contained a 4-pack of cucumber soda and enough bubble wrap to float a boat.

I'm saving the boxes and should be able to reuse the smaller ones.  I did send feedback to team about this situation.

It's new Tunesday! This week features no marquee hip-hop releases but has more indie-folk than you can shake a banjo at:

- Avett Bros, Head and the Heart,  and Cass McCombs all twang it out a bit

- Solid week for metal: New Red Fang, Pelican and Trivium

- We also have some new jams from established players: Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam and Dismemberment Plan (which on first listen is pretty blah)

Enjoy!
