Once a Google+ skeptic the author Neil Gaiman is starting to share with people on Google+ You may remember that he didn't think much of us back when we launched:

Here's hoping that he's having more fun now, and that he enjoys and engages with his community.

Reposting this writeup from Peiran Guo on the google groups list. It is so true. I deployed 40 resonators on 1950 Charleston a couple of days ago. Could've kept going if it wasn't for a meeting.
Bonus: you can piss off TheCurmudgeon. I hope for the sake of his career that he's hitting his OKRs since it seems like he's playing all the time and all over campus.
I wonder if there's any players in this area who are looking to level up. The resistance at Googleplex is oncall 9-5 on workdays and they respond with an SLA of less than 5 minutes to several of the portals on campus.
If you have a few hours to kill and want some easy AP, then bring about 200-500 resonators of any level, blow up one portal, stand back about 20-30 meters and tap the deploy button as fast as you can. I've seen people come running out of the buildings to clear your resonators for you like it's some sort of emergency or something. You'll get as much AP as you have resonators. If you find you can't keep up, you may need to slap a bunch of shields on the portal. You might want to find a bench in the shade in case you get tired. You might want to double check that your gps isn't floating too much before you begin. Maybe bring a sandwich or a drink if you think you might get peckish and don't forget to use the restroom before you start.

Recorded at the First Avenue and 7th St Entry you'll get plenty of Dick Valentine banter between a solid set of Electric Six classics including this quote:
"Put the two together and you have a kangaroo going down a water slide."
And what's more you have long-time First Ave stage manager Conrad Sverkerson on the cover. Read more about it here.

It's e-waste day here at Google. Time to ditch all my 16MB video cards, 10base2 Ethernet cards, UltraSCSI HBAs (fast 'n wide) and some old tape backup gear.
I might keep the Pentium 2 just for the bed of nails heat sink. Raj Iyengar snagged the Myspace branded Flip video camera with the dead battery.
