AT THE END OF THE DAY
Seriously people, what the hell is up with the this term? I am constantly hearing people use it in videos, blog post, on Twitter, on Google+... If I hear one more person use this term I am going to bang somebodies head on a really hard surface until blood spills.
What is "end of the day"?? Is there even such a thing?

He's an atheist and he's proud
Mike Booth has been branching out from the Some Grey Bloke series of satirical cartoons. In this video Jeremiah McDonald performs Mike's writing. It's a bit of fun but what I found particularly interesting was the weblinks to this thing called Patreon. The idea is that people can become a patron of an artist/content producer. We're talking about something like a dollar for anything they produce. No one is getting rich off it (yet) but I saw that when Mike makes a video he gets about $50 out of Patreon. Beer money if nothing else. I think it's a pretty cool idea.

Does this scream README!?
There are 603 words of highly considered thought ENTIRELY BELOW THE FOLD
WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK?!!
From the top border of the post to the top of the photo is 257 pixels in my browser. (Yes, so sue me, I fired up the GIMP and measured it). Dedicated entirely to envelope-level contextualizing data, styling elements, and whitespace.
There are 603 words, 3428 characters, of content. They're all completely hidden beneath the fold. It's advertising for Google Glass (which, frankly, I am starting to get a little tired of, but y'all might like to see it). And it features, I counted, ZERO photographs of +Robert Scoble in his, or anyone else's, shower.
My first reaction (as with most graphics-heavy posts) was to mute it and move on. Then I saw those tiny words, in a pale gray, "... more »

Google Glass Impressions
My attempt at being a Glasshead. Alas, with my eyesight it just wasn't a happening thing. There are adjustments on queue that will enhance Glass' ability to work with prescription eyewear, but my guess is that people who don't wear contacts and who have some major visual challenges should try before buying.
That said, I got plenty of exposure to Glass at #io13 and met some awesome folks on the Glass team and some very insightful Glass users. The technology has enormous potential, even with its very alpha-stage form.
The good news is that the Mirror API for Glass makes many powerful things possible, including the ability to do custom menus which can give reasonable action choices that target your content - not just the hardware and Google services. The full developers' toolkit is still in the works, but it sounds as if there ... more »

Hangouts: Google real time messaging platform dissected by Verge
Hangouts is a work in progress, with integration of Google Voice and SMS integration still pending. Like everything Google does, things start small and then grow to become big and ever-present.

It's now 43yrs since I was in Vietnam. Con Thien was the northern-most place name that our unit regularly patrolled and fought in. I see that a forlorn-looking bunker is all that marks a firebase that I went to many times. There is a picture on Google Earth that shows the tanks that are arriving at Alpha-4, the last firebase before the DMZ. I went there many times and lived and fought in the fields around it. It was called "The Marketplace," so named because so many soldiers "bought it" there. I was very anxious the first time the old guys told me about the marketplace that we were going to patrol, then after months of being there, one gets used to it and wonders why it was so scary back then. Although we did see combat, it became manageable. Much as I think hell would be if one spent an eternity there.
What is neat is that as you can see, the road was a crude d... more »

Monetization strategy for G+ unveiled!
This is my G Drive status now with the new change (thanks to +Max Huijgen for bringing this to my attention):
http://googledrive.blogspot.com.es/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-15-gb-now.html
If I had not got the 100GB drive with my Chromebox I would have been forced to upgrade due to all the G+ Photos. G+ Photos did not count towards the storage space limit prior to this change.
No such thing as free lunch as they say. Now we know the monetization strategy for G+. Storage!
I think it is time to renew my Flickr Pro account. $45/2 years for unlimited storage.
What do you guys think?

Carbon Dioxide Reaches the Highest Level ever in Human History
#globalwarming #carbondioxide #climatechange
#sciencesunday #euromaestro
Congratulations to mankind, we have managed to set a new record.
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a new high obtaining 400 parts per million. This concentration level is substantially higher than the pre-industrial levels which varied between 180 and 280 parts per million.
The scientific consensus largely attributes this substantial rise to anthropogenic sources. (That mean us).
The data in the chart is gathered from the NOAA, a US government agency that has monitored carbon dioxide levels continually since 1959 from an observatory in Hawaii.
It is true that in Earth's history, there have been higher levels of Carbon Dioxide but this has not be... more »

The Great Game between China and the Obama Administration continues unabated. Burma has come in from the cold and the military powers there have suddenly become very friendly to the US at the expense of China. Furthmore the US have brokered a deal between Aung San Suu Kyi and the generals in exchange for US support. Publicly its all about extending peace and democracy in Burma, privately it's all about containing China's influence in South and South East Asia.
It is now becoming clear that Suu Kyi must have reached an agreement with the military - and that there has been considerable outside, read US, pressure on her to come to terms with the country's rulers. A politically divided Myanmar would not serve America's purposes; an alliance between Thein Sein's government and the popular Suu Kyi would.
NLD activists admit in private that Suu Kyi and the party... more »
