Big anti-hangouts article from Microsoft.
_Google+ Hangouts is Google’s attempt at a Universal Communications solution, but is designed primarily for consumers rather than information workers. It relies on third-party applications for many key voice capabilities, and has other significant limitations that make it a poor choice for business. Lync, which is easy to use and easy to manage, offers the flexible yet comprehensive UC solution that both enterprises and end users need—a solution that Google can’t match._

Idea: *bandwidth meter on shuttle*
or a data based way to stop data hogs.
- Install network monitoring on the router. Use sflow or something like http://www.pmacct.net/ Also gather interface stats (up/down/max bw, etc)
- display results for everyone to see
- use built-in TV/video out (if available)
- or use an led sign like the one below..
Messages that could be displayed:
- Bandwidth warning 75% reduce usage.
- No 3G/4G service. Hang tight!
- Warning. Video usage @35%
- Display stats for the current ride
BW used this ride 420M
- Or even better:
BW used this ride: 56
- Or sillier:
BW use this ride: .05 milli-SWE
Of course a programmable sign could be used for other things too.

It's breeding season for -Snowy- Great Egrets.
Next time you're on the west side of 1201 Charleston look up to the trees and you'll notice a dozen -Snowy- Great Egret nests. Maybe you'll even catch them flying from tree-to-tree carrying newly found twigs. They really get going on the weekends when they have the campus to themselves.

Needed: Periodic testing for developer sample apps.
I've been importing a number of Google's sample Android apps into Eclipse and/or Android Studio. It's painful. If we could periodically download and run these Apps on a fresh Android Studio/Eclipse(/Xcode?) we might save developers a lot of time and catch broken examples sooner. Automation for bonus points...
Here's just a few things I bumped into:
- GMS changed their APIs between v4.0 and v4.1 Half the things I was trying to do didn't work.
- Most examples have a hard coded compile version which means the import fails unless you've been downloading SDK versions for the past couple years. Once you figure this out it's an easy fix, but it's still another roadblock.
- Developer Console vs Cloud Console. 'nuff said there..
Here's some of the bits and pieces:

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.

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..]

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.
