Hi John Colburn / Dennis Boehm -- Do you know each other?
Hi John Colburn / Dennis Boehm -- Do you know each other? In any case I've been pondering how one might take the Spout experience into Google+ via video hangouts and connect with the nascent arts community that's developing here. There's so much potential to do fun things.
If either of you is interested let me know.

And there's much more at Lollapalooza including Sigur Rós ...
Oh and if you want less glitching I'd recommend using the mobile youtube site:

My guess is that the real-time streaming comments compete with the video feed...
Oops -- turns out Sigur Rós isn't being streamed..
Instead watch this mostly complete concert footage from last week:

This is pretty cool, I have great memories of the old Loring in Minneapolis.
This is pretty cool, I have great memories of the old Loring in Minneapolis. It closed then moved and reopened after Paul and I left Minnesota so I've never tried the current incarnation.
I think my positive memories revolve more around the amazing, funky space than the food or drinks but I'll certainly give the Oakland outpost a try once it opens.
Wow. Definitely worth checking out when it opens. Had many memories at the one in Minneapolis.

The local one was never really my scene, but it is an interesting case of reversing the "it's big in California" explanation so often used in Minnesota to explain the popularity of something.

Google is a tourist destination -- at least for my in-laws. They all want to go -- two retirees and a middle age school teacher/poet. I guess I forget that people have this fascination with what we do.
Anyone considered opening _Googleworld_ or _Googleland_?
Figure I'll give them the drive around followed by a walk through 43 and lunch. Any other suggestions?

Has anyone else reripped their entire music collection lately?
Has anyone else reripped their entire music collection lately?
Last time was in 2003 so I had bitrates as low as 96k. Everything is now 320k mp3 and I'm ready to re-import into Google Music. Some interesting observations:
- CD ripping must contribute to global warming.
- CDs are heavy ~40 lbs of CDs fitting in .1 m³ (about 3.5 ft³)
- Gracenote/CDDB has declined in quality (album art especially)
- Price stickers bring back memories. Tower records, FNAC and 32 CHF albums, oh my.
Nice thing is I can better judge the provenance of my collection and correct it. Just received 3 custom CDs from Twin/Tone including two albums from the late-80s Minneapolis band The Wallets.
When I ripped my CDs I transferred everything to thin sleeves and got rid of the plastic jewel-cases. It was a pain at the time (and kinda sad to not be able to keep all of the paper covers; the booklets fit at least), but not it takes up a lot less space (in the cellar).
Anyone have binders they recommend?
Going through all that music felt like my very own John Peel Archive without the memorabilia. I might want to jot notes on each item to help me remember interesting things...
I rip all of my CDs to flac. I can reburn a CD if I want to and I can encode into whatever the lossy flavor of the time is from the flac archives. I use ogg vorbis for lossy encoding. I use binder pages like http://www.sleevetown.com/cd-binder-pages.shtml and fill up binders with CDs :)
Thanks Mark Keisler
Considered going with flac, but 320k is about the limits of my hearing (128k definitely wasn't!) Would've gone ogg/vorbis but still needed to support iTunes without pain..
Yeah, I initially ripped everything to ogg/vorbis and then had to convert it from there to MP3 to get it onto an iPod, oops.
I don't really rip into flac because I am some audio snob, Paul Lindner . I don't actually listen to my music from the flac files. Having flac archives enables me to avoid ripping all of my CDs again when I need the audio in a new format. In a few years hopefully people will stop using mp3 and some new format will be supported by all audio players and you'll want to rip into that :)
I never had to go through a full re-ripping exercise. Instead I discovered an exclusive file-sharing network that was absolutely obsessed with quality. Share an album with a typo in a track name, or the year field not filled in, or worst ripped with a constant bit rate, and you would be summarily kicked out. So I pirated hundreds of albums that I already legally owned.
I don't have a good solution for tagging, but I get the impression the artist/album/track info from http://musicbrainz.org/ is high quality.

Can we run an MR against the calendar database that relocates all meetings with '1:1' in the title to the smallest conference room less < 20m from the existing one?
Bonus points if we can reshuffle and repack all meetings into the appropriately sized conference room. (yeah, yeah, I know that's NP-hard, but still, we're Google...)

If you link github directly to your Google+ profile it's a little easier.

Getting author annotations for your Github projects in Google search
See, there is my face next to my Github project :)
How did I do it:
My Github projects has www.nonblocking.io listed as my website. That website has this bit of markup:
<a href='' rel='me'>Malte Ubl @ Github
So it says that both my G+ profile and my Github profile are both "me".
Now my G+ profile links to www.nonblocking.io as well (and actually to my Github profile). Those 3 things together establish a pretty safe link between my Google profile and my Github profile and Google starts to surface the association in search. Neat
PS: Only because I work for Google, absolutely positive does not imply that I know what I'm doing, so your experience may vary.

When did we start removing the little profile thumbnails from personal search results? I saw this a while back but just assumed I was in some latency experiment...
I've been telling sites that XFN and such are a way for them to "stand out in search" because of the profile photo annotations.
Should we be pushing harder for sites to adopt authorship? Also why are Don Dodge and Jeff Reine not showing up as authors in the results below? Weird....
Would appreciate any clarification.

And this applies to anything you author. For example, if you're an open source developer you should definitely link your github profile. Video and photo sites? Same thing.
Most sites are supporting XFN these days so the more links to your Google+ profile, the more often your face will show up next to your content.

Okay Googlers -- if you were unhappy that Events was a closed dogfood you have your chance to participate in the most open dogfood we've ever done.
Here's some simple things you can do:
- Are you using proper schema.org markup? Are your comments http://schema.org/Comment? Are your reviews http://schema.org/Review?
- Do you have a user history for your service? Investigate if it's possible to send these moments to frame service. I can connect you with the right people.
- Do you request OAuth scopes for your api-based service? Consider using plus.moments.write to send us active and passive user activity.
Docs are below, feedback will be gladly taken (and I just might send you some Google+ schwag as a token of appreciation)

Help your friends find you! - another Google+ tip...
Add and verify all of your email addresses to your Google Account here:
This makes it easier for your friends to find you now and in the future! I've found that I don't know the gmail address of many people, but I do know their corp email or another alias. Plus if you lose your password you can send a recovery email to your alternate address.
Be aware that you can only associate one email per Google account and you can't add another gmail address to another account. If you want to associate email addresses to your primary account you can visit this page:
1) If the email is listed as a secondary address, remove it on the old account and add to the primary.
2) If the email is primary you can change the email address of the unused account and replace it with something like [email protected]. Then add the renamed email to the primary account.
Cheers.

Reaction from my family to the events spam:
_Your company is so fucking stupid sometimes... Why don't you turn off events until you fix your stupid problems._
Sadly I partially agree. If we still had the incoming stream we could easily put the stranger events there. I know that some fixes are in flight -- why are we not being more public about this? A simple Mea Culpa would do a lot here. Comms folks, what's up?
More quotes: _You look like a bunch of amateurs..._ and _why didn't you anticipate this?_

One of my favorite Google+ features is Instant Upload. All the pictures I take with my phone appear in a private album online, and from there I can share with my circles (or not). For me it's a great way to remember my favorite moments, and strike up the right conversations with just the right people.
More generally, we think this difference between saving and sharing is really important for communicating online. After all: not every thought that crosses your mind comes out of your mouth :-) Features like Instant Upload give you control over how you save and share your photos. And today -- with an early developer preview of Google+ history -- we're starting to bring this save/share capability to other online activities.
If you’re a developer, you can get started with today’s preview release by visiting . With just a few lines of code your app can privately save moments (like a listened song, or a visited restaurant) to a user's Google+ history, and from there users can share those moments with others. Think Instant Upload, but for almost anything! In all cases, moments in history include attribution of your app.
To help get the juices flowing, you as a developer will notice your YouTube, +1, Play app purchases, and Instant Upload activity in Google+ history (with Search and Latitude coming soon) -- all for your eyes only, of course.
We're hosting two Google I/O sessions (Thu, June 28 at 11:45am PT and 5:15pm PT) and a codelab (Fri, June 29 at 9am PT), so you can either stop by in person, or tune in with I/O Live. Android and iOS developers can also use the new Google+ platform for mobile -- attend our session (Thu, June 28 at 1:30pm PT) to learn more.
And they're not so good at the dismount either. ;)
