If you liked the video you'll like the album even more. At the very least give In for the Kill a listen.
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.
[And if you're a musician or rep one I'd be interested in knowing what G+ can do better for you!]
It seems like I missed a whole trend of 80s revival music back in 2009.

Homeroom has found a cool way to use old card catalogs -- Loyalty card storage! If you're feeling generous you can give to a stranger.

Would people be interested in a periodic hangout where me and my weekly Google guest makeover your web site with Googley features? We'd have a special guest each time and go over things like authorship markup, security, performance, APIs, widgets etc?
+1 this post if you're interested. Feel free to nominate your favorite site you'd like me to put under the microscope in the comments...

So you want to go to Google I/O this year? Last year it sold out in one hour, so you'll want to be prepared. Register for Google Wallet and Google+ before 7AM PDT March 27.
Anyone want to help Adam find ways to use Google+ more effectively? I added a few tips on making yourself more findable and increasing engagement.

It's March 2012 and I'm still not sure what to use Google+ for.
Private sharing still seems best handled by email.
Public sharing still seems best handled by my Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.
Maybe Google+ is for people who want to share publicly but don't have Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, or Facebook?
It's also unclear how to get more followers on Google+. Will my follower count always be smaller here than on Twitter and Facebook? Is that by design?
Feel free not to answer; I'm just thinking out loud.

So the rain has let up enough for the Federer-Nadal match. Oh and Isner just petted our dog heading out of the stadium. That dude's super tall.

The only thing I'd add to this compendium of bad interview questions is having the pirates find the breaking point for the wine bottles by dropping two of them from a 20 story building. :)

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...
One of these days I should find an east bay mechanic. Phaedrus is hard to beat though... almost makes up for the bay bridge crossing...
Couldn't make this one, glad to see the community pushing forward on OpenSocial.
Someday I hope to see Amanda Jones using G+ in addition to her Facebook and Twitter. She did a photo shoot for us some years ago. She's a great animal photographer and I think she'd be a great part of the photography community over here.

Anyone in my MN circle done this? If you haven't it'd be a good thing to add to your Schemer list..

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.
Anyone want to help Danny?

Also note that that really old paper was for Gopher+, not Google+.

First time renting from Youtube -- have to see at least one Oscar film...
So many things to do and I get sucked into doing map edits. It's impressive -- edits go live extremely quickly. I added some trailhead parking lots and restrooms, reservoirs, and walking trails..
This has worked the past two times I've had to deal with this. Recommended.
Nice long walk in Sibley Regional Park.

Just heard this gem on the The Current's all request show right right now.
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!)

Google+ has made it all the way to the CS department of my alma mater.. Amazing.
I wonder whatever happened the the Sequent that ran cs.umn.edu way back when?
