Help!! New Google Chat

Is there an option so that I can just see the people who are online? It's great showing me who I most talk to (and a couple that make NO sense whatsoever), but it's not very helpful when I just want to bug someone who is online at the time. 

Thanks!

Truth.

side note: I realize I don't write much anymore and my posts don't have much substance. I'll remedy that soon my Googler friends. Time to abandon Twitter and get back to interacting in a worthwhile community.

Bacon is killing you.

"Those who ate high levels of meat such as bacon had a 72% higher risk of death from heart disease and 11% higher risk of death from cancer."

Pretty significant findings in this study. Here is a shorter, summarized article if you don't feel like reading from the medical journal: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/mar/07/cancer-risk-processed-meat-study

Anyone have any "extra" airline miles to burn?

A good friend has a suddenly sick family member on the other coast and was looking for a break on airline ticket prices because last minute flights can be extremely expensive.

If you potentially do, message me. It doesn't have to be a full flight, anything helps.

Starwood Employee Abandoned in Dubai after Drink Spiked by Fellow Employees

"Dubai is being promoted as a luxury high-class paradise in the desert, but the reality is brutally different, as Australian Alicia Gali discovered. Gali took a job in the UAE with one of the world’s biggest hotel chains, Starwood. What happened next makes this story a must-watch for everyone travelling through the region."

Yes, this kind of thing still happens in the world. Click the article below for a two part video.

My Google+ wish list.

I'm a huge fan of the Google+ redesign. But G+ is still not perfect. Here's what needs fixing. 

Single column view for the Profile. You can easily toggle to a single-column view for circle streams, but inexplicably not for one's own profile. I even made a circle with just me in it, and that doesn't work, either. I want a way to look at my own posts without the crazy multi-column view. 

An "All" option for noise control. Right now, the options are "More,” “Standard” and “Fewer.” For super important circles like my “Family” and “Friends” or any other circle I should have the option for zero filtering. 

Better fonts. +Linus Torvalds is right: The new fonts on Google+ are terrible. This is super noticeable on a Chromebook Pixel. 

A switch forauto-refreshing. A... more »

Google+ has Launched the Ability for Brands to Offer Coupons to Followers

This is a huge plus for brands! Let's clarify here.. this is NOT Google putting ads into the stream. If you follow brands you like, they now can offer a coupon for you to check out. This is like following a fan page on Faceybook and them making a post about a coupon THESE ARE NOT the ads you see on the side of Faceybook.

Brands can now directly interact with fans of their product and provide value offers to them.... 

I look forward to seeing more great things from brands here on gplus. Discount tickets to events, free make up samples, or 50% off an item in their store from brands I like and follow? Sounds good to me.

The author almost gets this right, but she fails because she decided that this was a "black" thing. This is what happens sometimes when young people try to be profound. The author does not understand that the "troubling trend" involves ALL races. We are a people who put our discomforts in front of cameras and laugh AT them, not WITH them. 

Honey Boo Boo, anyone? 

Its not a Black thing at all. Older people remember the Norman Lear shows like All in the Family, Good Times, The Jeffersons, and others like "Chico and the Man. This is no different than "Different Strokes", The Fresh Prince of Bel Air", and other examples of Class Difference, not Racial Difference. 

Class is one of those things that exists that nobody is comfortable talking about, because Class rarely or ever changes, regardless of race, status or money.

*Did Veronica Mars kill Kickstarter?*

Interesting perspective on the emergence of "large scale" projects ending up on Kickstarter. While I don't mind Braff's effort, I'm not sure I care for Warner Bros profitting from it.

Thoughts?

iPhone app judges your sex.

An iPhone app called Passion detects sound and motion and marks time while you're having sex, and gives you a high score if it detects plenty of all three. 

It would be more accurate if it gave a low score to anyone who used the app.
