Roo Roo and Tommy (the dog) on yet another trip out. This morning was brunch at the Universal Cafe with a side trip to Blue Bottle coffee.
A good meal was had by all.
Great read.

Great read. I'd also recommend listening to the latest "This American Life" which discusses how your destiny is predicted by where you live. The details on the creation of the fair housing act and riots in the 60s were especially eye opening.
And all of this is especially apropos with the recent Thanksgiving holiday.

"There’s an old saying: ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. There’s a degree to which it’s true, and it certainly seems that the current lot of powerful people are thoroughly irresponsible. I’d like to add another – though it’s deeply wishful thinking. With great privilege should come great humility. Those of us who are privileged – like me, and like Boris – should be able to find that humility. To know that we really don’t know what it’s like to live without our privilege. We can try to imagine – but we’ll never really succeed. And we should know that we’ll never really succeed – and be far, far more willing to listen properly to those who do know it. Most of all, though, we should know when not to talk as though we had all the answers. We should know when to shut up."

Youtube and Google+ Embedded Posts
If you embed Youtube videos on your web site you might want to take second look at the Google+ Embedded Post feature:
https://developers.google.com/+/web/embedded-post/
Instead of using a direct Youtube embed try creating a Google+ post that includes the video and your commentary. Embed that post on your site by following the instructions linked above.
People can still play the video in the page, but now they can also +1, Follow, and Reply to it. This engagement will make your conversation stand out in the new Youtube.com comments section.

Hi widget lovers.

Hi widget lovers. You may have noticed a new look for the +1 and +Share buttons that are consistent with the Follow and Badge widgets. We hope you like them.
You'll also notice that they scale up beautifully. All of our buttons are now using SVG to render the iconography, and the Roboto font for text. There's even some SMIL animations hiding in there too. All of this is perfect for your new high dpi laptop, tablet or phone. ‡
Please let us know if they're working for you and if you have any suggestions. Thanks for using Google+ widgets!
‡ results may vary on IE8 and Gingerbread browsers.
