Take 20 minutes out of your day to realize things could be much worse.

Then take another 20 minutes and do something to make today extra special.

Has anyone figured out how to add and remove people to and from the Hangouts Sidebar?

In the old Google Chat bar on the far right, it would display whoever you had added to your chat contacts that was currently available. You could also manually tell it to always show selected people regardless of their availability. This functionality also carried over into into the the Google Talk application on the phone, and you would see the same thing there.

However, the new Hangouts feature does not seem to include this same functionality. My Hangouts sidebar has showed the exact same eleven people since Google made the switch. Several of the people listed are folks that I haven't messaged in months, but they have been listed consistently, and there doesn't seem to be a way to manually add or remove contacts to the list.

And yes, I submitted feedback about this.  :)

How Adobe Killed the Photographer
or The Photographer's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death

By Matt Smith


There is a story in the Steve Jobs biography (by Walter Isaacson) that talks about Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs creating a "Blue Box" that would essentially allow you to make free long distance phone calls. Woz prank called the Pope with it (he was sleeping). Anyway, the Blue Box…Was this stealing? Sure… Maybe... Yes.

I'm writing this in OmmWriter. The app was recently updated because the songs it used were apparently not licensed or something. I think that's code for stolen, not sure. Anyway. The new songs are okay, but I miss the old ones.

A lot of photographers that I look up to used pirated versions of Photoshop growing up. I look up to them because of their photography and because they give back to the industry. Idon... more »

This is what happens when you celebrate a birthday on +Google+. People just come out of the woodwork to wish you a great day. And these are just the ones that Google counted as being "birthday notifications". I know there was easily another hundred that were just regular posts.

At any rate to all ~300 or so of you that wished me a happy birthday, thanks very much. You really made my day.  :)

Etiquette Question:

Should you attend the wedding of an extended family member when you were not explicitly invited?

This is just an interesting article to read. You can unplug as much as you want to, but when it comes down to it the "real world" and the "virtual world" have become so intertwined that it's hard to be in one without the other. The internet is part of our lives, it's part of how people communicate. Cutting yourself off is not always a bad thing, but it's not something you'll be able to do forever.

Tyler Update
Many of you have been asking about Tyler, this his update through one of his aunts.

Last week, Tyler started a clinical trial for which he qualified to be a candidate.
This trial has only been done once, ever, on a boy with a similar case to Tyler's. That was in Germany some years ago. So, Tyler is the only person in the US to ever try this treatment. They plan to use 4 different drugs, which have all been used to treat tumors, but not ever all together all at once. So, we're not sure of the success rate, or the side effects that they will have on him.

The seriousness of this should still not be taken lightly. To get approval to do the treatment, the first boy's doctors had to go to the board of ethics and it also noted they had to find a surgical team that was still willing to take a chance on doing the surgery after the... more »

I saw this little guy just chillin' on window sill on my way to work today. I felt bad cause he looked like he was shivering and I wanted to move him somewhere warmer, but I didn't think it was safe for me to be attempting to move him. I hope he finds his way home.
