A Cheat Sheet for People Afraid of Google+

You probably know them: people who trot out an excuse for not adopting Google+. I've been collecting them (the excuses, not the people).

"Oh my, what's this talk about Circles?" "I'm happy with Facebook." "Isn't that place a ghost town?" 

The reasons are legion. But all easily answered with this short guide.

1. Start simple. Create one Circle--and put everyone in it. You can segment later.
2. Starting a Hangout (also known as the skype killer) is stupid easy. Push one button. Done. 
3. You can reply to posts and comments INSIDE Gmail. 
4. You can sign in to apps and websites with your Google+ account. +Jesse Wojdylo can tell you all about it: http://goo.gl/8fsLv
5. Join an interesting Community if you want that feeling of connection quickly. However ... 
6. It's your fault if Google+ feels like a ghost town. Just ask +Chris Brogan: http://goo.gl/OLy6M 
7. You can even edit your posts. Endlessly. 
8. You can format your posts, too. Italics, bold, strikeout. Here's how: http://goo.gl/pJrXY
9. And, yes, there is no character limit. Write all day, Hemingway.  
10. Did I mention you won't get bombarded with invitations to play games or share your birthday? Yeah. That's what I thought.

Here are 6 more from +Jodi Kaplan. 

11. When it is your birthday, you get a special surprise.
12. You can hang out with astronauts.
13. What's Hot is now tailored to your preferences! Science yes, Britney Spears no.
14. No ads.
15. Conversations that matter (about art, censorship, space exploration, marketing, politics, and OK, the occasional cat pic).
16. Did I mention the astronauts? 

Bonus reason: all the cool kids are on Google+. That's a joke. I'm a nerd. So plus me.

TURN OFF THE NEWS - Saw this on Facebook and I think God has a point... I mean, Morgan Freeman.

Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday :

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

Bullshit.  Utter Bullshit.  This man is delusional  and totally disconnected from the majority of Americans.  A hospital is only required to stabilize you and then send you packing.  They are not required to actually TREAT you for a condition that is found nor send you packing with any medication.  You're on your own until it's too late for reasonable treatment and you end back UP at the hospital much more seriously ill which can and DOES lead to death due to medical neglect.

To say that the Hospital, a charity or the government pays the bill?  In very few cases does this happen.  You owe the bill for what little care you get and they will pursue you to the ends of the earth to collect it.  With what isn't collected for a bill, the TAXPAYERS and those WITH insurance end up paying for those that can't pay.

What Health care planet does this man live on?  I worked in Collections at a Hospital.  And at NO time, what Charities that WERE available, they decided if you qualified, the CHARITY decided if you fit their criteria and at NO time are you offered the option to apply to a Charity. 

And you need preventative care medications?  Where does he think people are going to get those?  People go WITHOUT and then become seriously ill and DIE AS A RESULT.  

I can't call Bullshit ENOUGH about this.

Happy 10/11/12!

They might look very similar when you enter the car but you can't really compare the experience. Where would you rather be? In control of your destination or just coming along for a ride?

Plasma Speaker Project!

Today i convinced a friend to join me in a fun project to build ourselves a plasma speaker. This will probably take a while to get together but i am sooo excited! Check out what other people have done:
Plasma Speaker / Singing Arc - Early Modulated Prototype

In this video the music is coming from the plasma!!

In a regular speaker the sound is produced by transforming the electrical voltage signature of music that travels down your speaker cable into the fast lateral motion of a cone within the speaker...this produces the pressure waves in the air that your ear can detect and then transform back into an electrical signal in your brain. :D 

In the plasma speaker the pressure wave comes from the modulation of the voltage, creating the plasma, which produces pressure waves in the plasma which just like in the speaker case can travel onwards through the air, into your ear and get converted again into an electrical signal into your brain... Only this time it's super pretty too :D 

..and just a little bit dangerous if you get your fingers in the wrong place :P

Happy science and as soon as my version is ready a video will be forthcoming :)

Apple aware their laptops are environmentally unfriendly

Apple has withdrawn all its laptop and desktop computers from the EPEAT environmental rating system, including older MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models. According to iFixit, who recently tore down a MacBook Pro and its retina screen, that's likely related to a design direction favoring smaller, lighter notebooks and longer battery life. Doing so required them to glue the cells to the aluminum shell, making it impossible to recycle the case and other parts -- iFixit couldn't pull the batteries out without spilling the (highly toxic) battery guts all over.

Introducing a new game called:

"Don't Be Anti-Social During Meals With Friends."

Everyone puts their phones in the middle of the table. Whoever cracks first by touching their phone, pays for the entire meal.

The purpose of the game was to get everyone off their phones, away from twitter, facebook, texting, etc and to encourage conversations. In other words, help cure the "Anti-Social Social Media Craziness."

Rules:

1) The game starts after everyone sits down.

2) Everybody places their phone in the middle of the table.

3) The first person to touch their phone loses the game.

4) Loser of the game pays the bill for everyone's meal.

5) If the bill comes before anyone has touched their phone, everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.

We had a blast. Conversation rocked. Everyone loved it.

Are You Game? Are you willing to turn the tide of anti-social behavior? What do you think?!?
