+Esther Ekhart  and the community - I just wanted to say thank you  for your  wonderful videos.

Now this is digital creativity for good. Apparently 1.2 million residents of Lima, which borders a desert but has 98% atmospheric humidity lack running water entirely.
 
"The billboard pictured here is real,  and it produces around 100 liters of water a day (about 26 gallons) from nothing more than humidity, a basic filtration system and a little gravitational ingenuity. "

Enjoyed a lazy, tasty day in hong kong.
Lunch: new-to-me Japanese clam noodles (think Japanese carbonara) where you mix in a raw egg to create this creamy, seafood-y sauce
Dinner: choice Shanghainese dishes (love the roast chicken with ginger and scallions and crispy fried eel!)

Cannot stress how good this restaurant is. Lively, boisterous (especially my family) crowds, owners who drink with their customers, electro starting at 10:30, and most importantly - their creative takes on classic HK style food is to die for. And less than $20 USD pp!


Check out that garlic smothered crab at the end :)

Most humorous news of the day...

The Onion naming North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as the sexiest man alive – ...The People's Daily runs a photo spread in tribute not realising it is satire.

"The People's Daily ran a 55-page photo spread on its website in a tribute to the leader, under the headline North Korea's top leader named The Onion's Sexiest Man Alive for 2012."

Had a ghastly time trying to get Sidecar this weekend, most likely due to the fact that they recently received a citation from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) imposing fines of $20,000 and asserting that they are illegally operating a charter-party transportation carrier. The cab situation in San Francisco is a joke - sign this petition to help the Sidecar and Lyft get back on track!

So, this looks like such a cool piece of footwear for yoga, pilates, barre etc - and I love the video (Five shoes in one: the Nike Studio Wrap) .

Curious to hear if my yoga/pilates/barre loving ladies would purchase this at a price of ~$110?

Happy first birthday, Google+ Pages!
A year ago we introduced Google+ Pages, and in twelve short months we've seen millions of businesses and brands join the Google+ community. Today everyone from auto enthusiasts to sports fans to fashionistas can connect with the car maker or football team or designer they absolutely love, and brands are fostering these relationships in increasingly creative ways.

Viewers took part in a live walkthrough from the unique perspective of the lead designer behind it, right from his tablet (http://goo.gl/0LmY5).  This weekend, +Coca-Cola hosted a Hangout for NASCAR fanswit... more »

Fairy tales for twentysomethings, my favorite tumblr of the week

Beauty wanted to bring the Beast to meet her friends but she was nervous because they all had these super-hot boyfriends who worked in finance. She loved the Beast for who he was, she really did, but her friends were shallow and judgmental.

Today we're rolling out v3.2 of the Google+ app to Android and iOS; both versions include one of our most highly-requested features: support for Google+ pages. This gives page owners the ability to post, comment, and interact with their followers directly from their mobile device.

Additionally:

- The iOS version adds iPhone 5 and iOS 6 support, and the ability to edit your posts.

The new app is available now from Google Play (http://goo.gl/xaxMx) and the App Store (http://goo.gl/RVv2S), so give it a spin and let us know what you think!
