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 (just its easier to claim here) 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.
P.s. to see the offer below click here - https://plus.google.com/u/0/104111246635874032234/posts/PMXjgjR4bNt Below is just a sc... more »

Some Outside the Box Thinking for Google Glass
Toronto, Canada based Playground Inc has created this awesome video of some "outside the norm thinking" of ways we could see Google Glass used in the future. Although this is simply a "what could be" type of video, none of these are far off base in my estimation.
For fun compare it to this very blah current "pull out your i phone to take a picture" commercial from apple -> Apple - iPhone 5 - TV Ad - Photos Every Day
What cool ideas could you see glass being used for?
EDIT: A note to OMG SCARY TECH
Why does no one mention our cell phones "getting hacked" by the gov't en masse .. and the cameras and 24 hour internet access in every one of them, being used to spy on us 1984 big brother style?
Anyone without a camera of some kind in their smart phone... more »

Change is Good
I have to admit i'm shocked at the amount of people who are completely unable to accept any kind of changes(especially around technology). "It's new, its different, I don't get it, so I automatically don't like it". This is the natural human response.
You can do that, or you can embrace changes as part of life. Play with it, try new things, be curious, figure stuff out, grow learn and push past your comfort zone.
What if I told you 10 years from now your life would be exactly the same? Doubt you'd be happy. So, why are so many people afraid of change?
Embrace Change and give it a shot! You might just be surprised how much you like it.

Much Of the Pain We Deal With Are Really Only Thoughts
Pretty true. At least for me. That's not to say that we all don't deal with a lot of real true pain in our lives.. but our minds usually make things much much worse than they actually are. ♥

Tell Your Mom She Is Beautiful Today
Earlier this week, I had the awesome opportunity to be a part of this special Mother's Day video with +Dove. It was a similar idea to the viral video I shared before with the sketch artist and some women, but this one had a few twists.... A big one being it was done in a Google+ Hangout.
After I watched the first video, I had some questions like "Maybe he saw the women, What kind of questions did he ask" and more. Getting to be a part of this answered all those. He never saw the ladies, He asked very basic questions, none were leading or probing. The women really had no idea what was going on, One lady even expressing at one point.."oh you are drawing me!"... It was my "job" to make sure they felt welcomed and comfortable.. It was a very beautiful experience to be a part of these womens stories that they sh... more »
