Just invited to littlemonsters.com. Decided I'd sign up via Facebook Connect (since most people will)
Interesting things:
* popup affordances on the home page guide you to features
* Facebook connect used but only to bootstrap your account.
* Sets up an email forwarding address for you that uses your Facebook primary email.
* Has a link to mail.google.com on your profile to read your email (and a gmail logo)
* No public profiles (as of yet..)
* System posts supported (my profile creation has already gotten one "Like")
* Has +1 buttons!
* Very pinterest style for posts -- big page full of posts. None of this single-column vertical scroll.
* has up and down votes.
* "Fan" instead of following.
* Friend finder not there.
* Sorted list of "New" users.
* Chat rooms.
* "t" button for notifications.
* and holy smokes! -- actually they're provisioning a new mailbox for each user on the GA+ domain littlemonsters.com.
plenty more, happy to demo.
Hey Paul Wyatt - glad to see you here! I work at Google now so feel free to send me your questions...

Hi, Paul: I cannot find a place to report problems about Google Earth directly so lucky I know you. I have used basic version for a long time and about three months ago it just crashed on loading every time. I can still get to parts of it using Yahoo maps. I have tried reloading to no avail. Also what do you think of the new OS? We are now living in Bend Oregon for a change of scenery. We have Whole Foods, Costco and other useful stores plus a really good cardiology department (Don't laugh...this item will get on your list one day).
Regards, Paul.
Can you tell me more about your problems with Google Earth? Is this on Mac or PC?
Oh and hope you're enjoying Bend!
Take your Security vitamins!
Security reviews may seem unpleasant, but they're really important to defend our users against the bad folks out there and just plain unintentional sloppiness.
I have to commend the team, their diligence revealed some hair raising issues in a SaaS partner that could have had disastrous consequences for us and all of said partner's customers.

It's always interesting to bootstrap your friends on G+. In this case I'm helping a DJ/Producer get onboard. He wanted to get his Youtube account linked which has all his videos. (which is a separate Gaia)
First had to get him on multilogin (and have him chose different profile photos so he didn't get confused.)
Then guided him over chat on adding links to his G+ profile... which resulted in the following..
Hopefully getting him into a Hangout goes better.

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.

Interesting -- "Deprecate XML support - If we were building an API today, would we even support XML?"
It's mostly a focus issue -- The Opensocial "XML" format was a snowflake and didn't even have a proper schema. It's also part of a broader effort to mesh with established standards and reduce complexity.
(Also the pain of managing the XML/Atom code in shindig is a significant drag..)
I can imagine! Where would one look to get an overview of current real-world opensocial schemas? I mean a sense for what is actually used and useful? Anything that can feed into schema.org design discussions?
Since you mention it, we've talked about ideas for how to fit OpenSocial in with schema.org & microdata. But we haven't have the time to put any leg work into it.
Can someone point me to the javascript readability rule that requires that periods go on the previous line for chained call?
someLongAssIdentifier.
foo();
vs
someLongAssIdentifier
.foo();
I keep doing the latter and I'm hoping knowing the rational reason _why_ will help me get out of this habit.
(And I'm secretly hoping this is some ancient IE6ism that we can banish...)

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.

Amazing film! At first I was like "Hmm, very artsy, but pretty average." But after a few days later I wanted to watch it again and again and every scene became memorable. Let's just say I am not joking when I say I have watched this movie at least twenty times.
It was quite good -- very Woody Allen. Loved how they captured the period. Good casting too.
Completely agree. Plus I think I have enjoyed this exhibition http://
It was a really entertaining movie, I think it helped that I'd seen no trailers though.
Fun movie, but I'm a sucker for Woody Allen. :)
It makes me sad when journalists basically state that "Google sells your information".
That said -- there was some interesting discussion in this piece, especially the question "when does targeting become discrimination?". I'd like to think that our algorithms are better than that. However advertisers will often choose their audience based on demographic data that may not actually work...

I have a question. I see those commercials where a dog has fleas then the owner comes and puts a drop of anti-flea on the dog and then it shows the dog cured. How is that one drop effective for the whole dog?
Use an oil drop over the tick and a piece of paper later to extract it. Natural and effective way and without handling.
Douglas Harry -- see http://
Miguel Angel Perez -- I've tried the oil method before with mixed results. This new method works well and is quite fast.
Make sure oil is enough viscous to impede the breathing.
