Been listening to this for most of the day - Google spun together a great collection of indie rock based on "Lisztomania" by Phoenix for me.

JONATHAN CHRISTOPHER KENDALL (1962-2013)
With the greatest of sorrow I, +su ann lim , have to inform you that Jonathan Christopher Kendall, my fiancé and love of my life, died suddenly last night on 15 June 2013. Despite the incredible efforts of our friends +Suzanne Jacob +Gaynal Brierley , paramedics and ambulance personnel he could not be revived.
Jonathan lived as he believed, telling it like it is, with wit and humour, enjoying life to the hilt, with honour, directness and compassion. I was incredibly blessed to be the recipient of his immense love, and as each other's beloved, to share unbelievable happiness for too short a time. Jonathan, I LOVE YOU with all my heart and miss you desperately.
One of the favourite activities in his life was to engage with all you here on Google Plus. He thrived on the intellectual challenges, soaked up a vast amou... more »

Libraries > McDonald's
It is impossible to overstate how happy this makes me. I mean, we're talking about a big goofy smile, unreasonably happy kind of happy.
Every Library and Museum in America, Mapped: http://goo.gl/mdJ2D
If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the ubiquity of McDonald's, this stat may make your day: There are more public libraries (about 17,000) in America than outposts of the burger mega-chain (about 14,000). The same is true of Starbucks (about 11,000 coffee shops nationally).
Factoid of the day: libraries serve 96.4 percent of the U.S. population.
Libraries and museums are both so thoroughly, densely spread across the landscape, Grimes jokes, that you could remove the physical boundaries of the United States from a map and still recognize the country by the geography of the places where we go to borrow books ... more »

Read me off a list of things I used to not like but now I think are okay.
My favorite song off of last year's Ben Folds Five album - and a desperate attempt to keep myself focused on Friday afternoon.

Dear Google users—
You may be aware of press reports alleging that Internet companies have joined a secret U.S. government program called PRISM to give the National Security Agency direct access to our servers. As Google’s CEO and Chief Legal Officer, we wanted you to have the facts.
First, we have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government—or any other government—direct access to our servers. Indeed, the U.S. government does not have direct access or a “back door” to the information stored in our data centers. We had not heard of a program called PRISM until yesterday.
Second, we provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law. Our legal team reviews each and every request, and frequently pushes back when requests are overly broad or don’t follow the correct process. Press reports that suggest that Google is providing open-ended ac... more »

A few lessons from 5 days with no phone...
Last Thursday I left my Nexus 4 on a bus, and thanks to the awesome Google transportation team I got it back today. But not without learning a few lessons:
- Brief periods of disconnecting are awesome: it's incredibly relaxing to have no notifications to worry about. While I'll no longer have the wonderful excuse of "I lost my phone," I do plan on turning it off for long stretches on a regular basis.
- Any device-dedicated messaging service is awful: Text messaging is terrible, but still the primary form of communication among people my age. No phone = no texts, and that's ridiculous. I'm exclusively giving out my Google Voice number starting today.
- The 3-5 inch form factor is bad at everything : My Glass is perfect for quick texts/calls, my Nexus 7 is perfect for movies, music, ga... more »

19 hour driving playlist
Play Music All Access could not have come at a better time - this Sunday I'll be driving for 19 hours for my move out to California, so a playlist of epic length is in order. So the question is, what music would you recommend for such a trip?

So Ubuntu has never worked with my laptop display, only on external monitors. Which wasn't an issue at school, as I only use my external monitor. But now I don't have one, so I spent the last hour trying to figure out why the display was black. It wasn't the display drivers, or the display settings, or any number of things I tried. It turns out that for my model of laptop, Ubuntu enjoys turning the screen brightness to zero upon booting up.
You have got to be kidding me.

Things that drive me crazy even though I understand the reasons for them:
Staged roll outs of features. In particular, a certain Android app :)
