Discovered these guys on Couleur3 yesterday. If you like retro synth and guitars you'll like this. New album can be found at http://
Thought I'd add some variety to my commute so I'm listening to Couleur3 again on TuneIn. Sort of like the Suisse version of KEXP or The Current they're publicly funded and play an interesting mix of music.
Here's a fun visualization I made last year for the Apache Shindig project using Gource. Learn how to make your own at http://
Here's a blast from the past. I wonder if the Google lawyers would let us slip a T-Shirt clause into the next version of the Google terms of service?
[FYI - I'm finally migrating my youtube videos from an old google account to match the account I use for Google+. I recommend you do the same, it's just so much better to have the two accounts linked together...]
This is a great little slice of history from the early 90s. Reminds me of the times I saw BiT perform in the 7th Street Entry back in Minneapolis. And it was satisfying to hear them on his show back then too.

The new version of this great android app now works on Google TV.
Maybe this is why I like standing desks so much? All those quarters spent on Defender were really just preparing me for a professional career :)
Thanks for adding me back, fun times over here in Google+ land.
Lots of great stuff here. Dan Wilson performing Semisonic classics, new solo stuff, commercial jingles with Fred Willard and a great version of the song he wrote for Adele - Someone Like You.

Milk bottles are great, except for the drips when you pour. The folks at Chow restaurant came up with a bottle top that fixes this annoying problem. Just ask, they'll sell you one for a dollar.
They really should sell this online, I was unable to find anything comparable.
I don't comment on ongoing legal issues with my employer. However I think we can all agree that this is one awful sketch artist.
A great deal @$3.99 for people in the US. Although I must say I like the original Hanging on the Telephone by The Nerves just as much:
The Nerves - Hanging On The Telephone, Original version 45, Blondie. 1976.
Minnesota Public Radio is doing some inventive stuff. They have a great alternative music station in The Current and they're running this great Music/Comedy series called Wits. Check out the segment below for a taste.
You can see all three stages here. Check it out.
A damn fine first post on Google+
And quite a storm we had last night too!

Interesting, but would need proper SEO to achieve the goals stated here:

One of the best things about aging another year is receiving interesting new midwestern music birthday presents. This includes a CD from Red Pens out of Minneapolis.
Also gotta love the 8-bit flair on the Grain Belt Records site!
Do you have a Panoramio account?
Consider adding a link your Google+ profile here http://
Then add your Panoramio account to your Google+ profile (in the Other Profiles section). When linked both ways it will enable people in your circles to find your Panoramio content in personalized search.

We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.
Please follow along as we share some of our ideas and stories. We’d love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass?

Some more La Roux to start out your Wednesday. I didn't think the Kanye remix added much, but the rest are deserving of the word Gold.
You have a problem running macos NFS Lion via a firewall. You decide to use nfsv4. After a few hours you have five problems.
I knew I was in trouble when all my searches led to the following and nowhere else. (In the end I used fixed rpc port numbers and nfsv3, ugh..)
Thanks for the birthday wishes (and for not pranking me, like Google does every year!) The shorts have already been worn a fair bit and are really nice. Happy to hear that John's trip is going well and can't wait to have you out here in Oakland!

Music and comedy-- streaming now. Highly recommended.
Maybe next year we can get Google maps for C64 character graphics :)

Finally.
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.

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...

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.
