Very cool sounding thriller. I try and read outside my Horror/Sci-Fi genre when something strikes me, and this definitely looks good. On my wish list for sure.

Ok, this is just awesome. The imagery is outstanding. I'm still not sure what it's about, but I'm definitely taking a look. They really packed a lot in 30 seconds.

I Just finished and reviewed Michelle Gagnon's new YA thriller Don't Turn Around. It comes out next month and I highly recommend it. It's the first in a trilogy and from the first one, I can tell this one is going to be non-stop beginning to end.

This is an absolutely hilarious spoof of Amazon's new same day shipping. In this they now have yesterday shipping.

Awesome trailer. I can't wait for the book. Scary and dystopian, my favorite.

I would take less money for a few more hours off a week so that someone else could also work. I know some can't do this, but it's just me a my husband, so families like ours could do this and just live a little tighter - like we already have to anyways. This definitely isn't a solution in itself, but it could be one of many things to help.

What do you all think about this? I get pretty good responses on my public posts here, and very intelligent comments/discussions about them. It takes me longer to get activity on Facebook the G+. Maybe I'm an anomaly or something.

Great article of encouragement for newbie writers like me. Thanks +Nick Thacker

Free
Dear Google Plus Friends: I know that we all enjoy free things. Free software, and free e-books, and free videos and entertainment. However, to get the world-economy turned around, free is not going to help anyone. Now, if we all start supporting local entrepreneurs and patronizing their businesses, then money and capital and wealth will circulate, and this is what revives economies. So, rather than downloading a free e-book from some wealthy corporation, try downloading the $5 e-book from your local entrepreneur who knows just as much if not more than the corporate beaurocrat who wrote the freebie. This is how we get change and wealth back into the hands of the people - by supporting local entrepreneurship.
Please share this post if you agree.

I enjoyed this article because my story definitely doesn't have a happy - but it is a resolved- ending. It kind of validated my choice to do that.

I can't wait for this. Aaron Sorkin is like the high priest of dialogue. I learn so much creatively by watching his shows. I'm still missing the West Wing, so this is awesome.

Such a wonderful request and beautiful, affirming words. I couldn't help but leave a comment after reading this.

Trailer for today. I heard they're making this into a movie, so I had to share.

This is just so horrifically sad. I don't know how it can ever be made right.

Hello Social Media peeps I am going to be helping out the Google Community Managers - specifically the G+ and G+ business page team - Natalie Villalobos, Toby Stein, Louis Gray and others with a weekly hangout on air series with business owners. I will be hosting a few of them myself. We're looking to lay out a schedule of topics (mostly aime at google products of course lol) but also branching out to general topics like marketing and online security. We will be having the hangouts every wednesday at 11am PST for about an hour. We plan on announcing on mondays and taking questions ahead of time to have things to discuss. If you are interested in participating or have ideas to share send me an email directly kevinlau@google.com. Thanks!

Why are scientists like me getting so worked up over Elsevier and other journal publishers? It must seem strange from the outside. This cartoon explains it very clearly. It's hilarious - but unfortunately, it's TRUE!!! This is why we need a revolution.
(True except for one small thing: in math and physics, Elsevier does let us put our papers on our websites and free electronic archives... though not the final version, only the near-final draft.)
Thanks to +Jordan Peacock for pointing this out!

This sounds really awesome. I love the trailer and can't wait to check out the comic.
