"I'm on a special assignment from my Dad"

After our "support the PTA" dinner this evening, I sent Acacia through the playplace while wearing Glass. This is what came of that mission.

My favorite thing in the world is when I rush my kids through dinner and screw up my plans so I can get home for a 6:30 meeting that the other person completely forgot was happening and calls me to reschedule at 6:35.

Just absolutely my very favorite thing.

Wow, no kidding. There's a ton of negativity surrounding the Xbox One and I don't get it.

The console looked pretty solid to me, but I think most people are upset that Microsoft didn't spend 1.5 hours showing off games like Sony did for the PS4 launch. I kind of feel like this approach is better, especially with E3 around the corner to focus on the 15 new games we were just promised. 

Still, strange responses all over.

Ah, I get it now. When you plug Glass in to power it shoots all of your photos off to Instant Upload. Pretty responsible way of handling that.

Ever since the first design shots for Glass showed up, one of the loudest questions asked is how this wearable tech will work with Glasses. The short answer is that there's no universal solution for those of us with glasses, but the current design already lends itself quite well to most types of glasses.

Yeah, no. Not cool Ubisoft. Seriously not cool.

Both Amazon and GameStop have managed to secure exclusive single-player missions for those of us who pre-order the game with them. That means, as a gamer you won’t be able to experience all missions Ubisoft has created for the game unless you buy the game from multiple retailers.

I guess I should go to the store before the announcement.

It looks like today is Xbox announcement day, but how great would it be if Microsoft decided to start shipping this summer instead of waiting for the Christmas rush?

Acacia is mad at me for the huge mess I just made on the floor, largely because she's gonna have to pick it up :)

The scanner cut off my project names, so lets just call this project: tease

Ever since +Russell Holly showed me some neat LCARSian icons, it got me thinking I could actually do a launcher without ruining the LCARS theme. What's been preventing me was that Basic4Android would not allow me to access the LiveWallpaper or Widget systems, however given the point would to be LCARS, you'd probably be fine using my own replacements, which I now have one for widgets.

The other thing that stops me from making a launcher, is why? With my app serving as the LiveWallpaper, there isn't much need. It already themes your system. It'd be a lot of work (the dialer took months, and it's only half done, and I abandoned the rest) for only a little benefit

Screensharing to someone wearing Glass works surprisingly well in a Hangout. Also, if someone is typing you get the text hovering over everything for a moment. Unfortunately every time someone leaves the Hangout it kicks me out as well. Kind of odd, but overall very cool to see how well thought out this is.

For me, the wait for Glass is almost 20 years in the making.

Summer of 1995, +lyn holly got me this Tiger R-Zone. It strapped to my head and projected games onto a flimsy plastic screen, with a tethered controller that allowed for storage of one other game. Battery powered portable gameplay. It was an incredible experience for me, at the ripe old age of 9. I never took the thing off, even when I wasn't playing it. I'd stuff the controller in my pocket and just walk around with this bulky plastic mess strapped to my forehead.

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I was scolded for leaving it on so long there were marks on my head, or trying to take it into a restaurant. It was a unique experience, to have a display projected in front of my without totally obscuring my world view, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

I don't know when it broke, butI... more »

Webcomics, a ridiculously cool National Geographic page, and tons of random silliness help make up Tumblr. If you find yourself asking why anyone cares about this service, take a look at this small sampling of content.

Remember how everyone was all "G+ is just a sausage fest full of nerds," or "Google+ is a ghost town."

We, those of us who know better, all laughed and rolled our eyes at the people parroting things we knew to be false. Silly tech bloggers who don't even use the service making baseless statements about it. If they would just use it, they would know better.

The same exact thing is happening with Tumblr.

"Tumblr is just porn and cat gifs," or "Tumblr is just thinspo blogs."

We, those of use who know better, laugh and roll our eyes at the people parroting things we know to be false. Silly tech snobs who don't even use the service making baseless statements about it. If they would just use it, they would know better.

Of course both services suffer from the same problem: discovery.

Good Job, Sony. Less than a day before the Microsoft unveil, you show off half a dozen "artsy" shots of your console.

After seeing and playing with the Glass Easter Egg, I knew two things immediately.

1 - I had to share it, even if it meant a less than great video. 

2 - This is the exact feature I have wanted from day 1 on Android for viewing photospheres.
