Apparently Google Maps lets me write reviews of individual gates at the airport.

Seriously, why is Orkut still alive?

Google should offer a steampunk monocle version of Glass.

Google Now reminded me about the _Doctor Who_ Christmas special. Not only did I not ask it to remind me, I did not know it _could_ remind me. We are officially moving into the world of science fiction.

Full disclosure: I am an ex-PM on Google Reader, and I worked on comments and the last round of sharing changes. I also left Google in July.

Google released the previously announced set of changes around G+ integration and UI updates today, and boy is it a disaster. Since the general…

So…more than a year after the redesign, there is still no keyboard shortcut to +1 a Reader item.

The story of Google Chrome (so far).

If you have not done so yet, check out the new 3D cities in Google Earth for Android. They look incredibly realistic (though you might have to wait a bit depending on the speeds of your device and connection).

Good video.  I want that Labyrinth game.

Another great ad from Google.

Is there more I could have said?
Now there are only bits inside my head
Everyone’s pictures have turned gray;
Never really thought I’d ever see this day.

(@WaveWatchers) Stopping spam and teaching folks, it felt great to help out.
(@classmates) A better way to share our notes has never come about

If we could do it all again,
Even one more “I just lost The Game”
Would anyone sign in, or even care?
Or did something break we can’t repair

(@Maya, @Ellen) Even though you hate me now, we had some fantastic threads
(@Lars, @Jens) I’ll remember what you gave to us, long after Gwave’s dead

How much could I have pled?
Now there are only bits inside my head.

𝅘𝅥

Could we do it all again,
Send things across the web like we did then?
But my sea of waves has slowed to a drip;
Oh, what I would give for one more blip.

Now I’m sitting here instead,
With only these bits inside my head.

Interesting video about the history and future of Google search.

The Google Music event is going on now at youtube.com/watch?v=DLPFI5YsIks and being live-waved at goo.gl/VPdQt.

I just released my first (public) widget and the first ever third-party widget for Awesome New Tab Page. This is just a simple Google search widget. Hopefully after playing around with APIs a bit more I will come up with something fancier.

Also I have no idea how I am resisting putting “F1R5T!” at the top of my extension description XD

A lot of people are unhappy with the “new look” of Google Reader, so I wrote this extension to remove the unnecessary padding and bring some color back into the new gray UI.
