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.

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?

Anyone else have this issue with Google+ badges? It cut off the last letter in my name! When I look at the source, I can see that the 'g' has been converted to some random unicode character. What's even more annoying is that when I go into my dashboard in tumblr to try to change this, it shows up correctly. The only place it seems not to work is when viewing the page. =/

Highly recommended.  This is an electronic/noise remix of the P.O.S album We Don't Even Live Here by experimental group Marijuana Deathsquads.

The folks at Rhymesayers Entertainment are doing a great job showcasing the creative forces of the Midwest.  Definitely worth following here on +

Bring on the #heirloomtechno  from Information Society No autotune modified organisms here.  I've been having a great time exploring the back catalog on Google Play including a superb live album that recently came out [1].

Then again I think I'm required to enjoy any group that puts out tracks like an actual data transmission in 300bps N, 8, I (Terminal Mode or ASCII Download) and the ode to TLAs in Where Would I be Without IBM [2]

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!

I call mine my "Macbook-C"  Seriously awesome hardware.

Originally shared by Google Chrome

Introducing the HP Chromebook 11, designed and built in partnership with our friends at HP. It has all the speed, simplicity and security benefits you've come to expect from a Chromebook, with unique design elements that makes it easier to get stuff done. And all for $279. 

Look for it starting today in the US at Best Buy , Amazon.com and Google Play and in the UK at Currys, PC World and more. It will also be coming to other countries in time for the holidays.

Hi, we are having problems on our Google page 1+ dropped from almost 12.000 to 720 and it's stuck. Our followers are complaining on me because of that lol. Can you help me? I can't see if it is a temporary common issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Been enjoying sludge-free french press coffee ever since we replaced our old Bodum press with the new Espro press.  It uses double gold filters to make a truly smooth brew.  Highly recommended.

Here's nifty demo from the folks at Tested and you can find them at Williams-Sonoma

Hi

Joslyn Biever, here's the event I was talking about.   Mary Grove and Steve Grove are doing great work with Google+ for entrepreneurs (see http://google.com/entrepreneurs )

[2nd time around, this time, not public (!)  Shouldn't be posting after midnight....]

An amazing day underway at CoCo at Google for Entrepreneurs youth training day. 75 impressive teens here from the STEPUP program. So inspired by the talent and passion in the room.

Greetings Googlers & Gophers!

The U of MN Engineering meetup was great fun.  It was nice to meet other Alumni and learn more about the great things going on back in Minnesota.

Googlers - I don't have all of your non-work accounts here, please feel free to follow me and I'll tag/mention your accounts here.

Gophers - If you ever need help with Google+ you can feel free to contact me.

It's like Twin Peaks by the Sea.

You have the outside investigator (David Tennant, with stubble), a dead body, and a cast of characters that seem to have plenty of secrets. 

Intrigued about what they'll come up with in the follow on episodes.

While the activity log at https://plus.google.com/apps/activities/from/i9 is nice for keeping track of posts you +1'd it contained too little information to be really useful, so I whipped up a chrome extension that rectifies this "issue" by fetching profile picture and a small text snippet for each of the posts via the Google+ API. This only works for public posts but from my experiments it seems that only public posts ever get added to the activities anyway. The extension still needs a bit of testing and clean-up, but I'll open-source it soon :)

PS. I've all sent feedback that this should be the default behaviour without the need for extra scripts :)

PPS. Source now available you want to give it a try - https://github.com/Scarygami/gplus-experiments/tree/master/better%20%2B1%20log

I got an email from the Google + platform team saying that there was a problem with our implementation. The email however didn't contain any specifics, just some links to common issues. I've spotted 2 small things that might be the issue. Thing is I do not want to address what might be an issue only to have it turn out that I missed something for fixed something that wasn't broken.

So the question is where do I go / who do I talk to to get specifics?

#gplus

A case where this side up really mattered...
