GDL @ I/O 2013: Inside the Niantic Project and Ingress
w/ +John Hanke  #ingress   #niantic   #fieldtrip   #io13  

Did you know that +Ingress is the brainchild of the secretive Niantic Project, a startup within Google? Did you want to know what's up with the Enlightenment and the Resistance? I got the chance to talk with the head of the Niantic Project, +John Hanke, on +GDL at I/O. John came to Google as part of the Keyhole acquisition in 2004. His insights are... enlightening.

GDL @ I/O 2013: Google Now, Search as Assistant
w/ +Baris Gultekin  #gdl   #io13   #search   #googlenow  

One of the highlights of our first day of interviews was welcoming Baris, a cofounder of Google Now, to talk about the future of search, and how knowledge cards can assist and suggest you the right content and information at the right time and context. It's incredible to think Google Now is only reaching its first birthday. Deep insight.

Mobile Data Goes Up, Phone Calls Go Down, Can't Explain That
/via +louisgray.com 

Last month set an all time low for us in terms of voice minutes, with less than an hour of our 700 minute allotment used. But at the same time, I was nearing the capacity of our mobile data plan and getting regular warnings I might exceed the cap. People aren't holding their phones to their ears as much as they used to. Instead, they're looking down at them. Is it more efficient for you to post, text, or email instead?

An eerily accurate Google-themed rendering of me with colleagues

My deskmate +Scott Knaster has a talented artist for a daughter. Based on her loose interpretations of stories Scott brings home about me and other coworkers, here's what she came up with. I'm obviously the Android-centric robot. +Phoebe Peronto is on the right with her S.L.A.P. (Sounds Like a Plan!) catchphrase, and Scott is on the far right, missing some hair and holding a trusty calculator. Scott owes us answers for the bird.

Is it a Fantastic Four Google Edition? I'm not exactly sure. But that's definitely not all that far off the mark.

You'll Love This Incredible Caterpillar I Found

Taking my kids on one of their weekend walks, I found this caterpillar in Mountain View by Stevens Creek Trail. I thought its shape, features and colors were really remarkable.

CNN: The Chromebook Pixel Puts You On Cloud Nine
#pixel   #chromebook   #chrome   #chromeos   #chromies  

+Zach Cumer of CNN fell in love with the Chromebook Pixel and bought one of his own after reviewing a unit from Google. He says, "it only takes turning the computer on once to realize how different it is from anything else out there," explaining the trackpad is "the best I have ever used,"and the screen "is simply amazing," adding "the way it renders colors is completely unique."

His summary: " I found this computer to be a refreshing approach to computing in the cloud, thanks to its hi-def screen and wicked fast computing power. My month with the Pixel thoroughly changed my thinking on how a computer should behave while handling my files. With the Pixel, I'm totally on cloud nine."

Social Media: The Thing You Do "Between" Things

I often get questions about how I find time for social media, or how I consume it, be it on my laptop, my tablet, my phone, and where I do it. Have Google+ Hangouts changed my life? Absolutely. For me, it's not that social media is new any more, but it's pervasive, and the bits that are social improve all we do as we learn and communicate. Here's a quick video +Bob Barker and I did when with +Thomas Power in London. Enjoy.
