Here's the start of the Google+ APIs. Read-only People and Activities

Opensocial folks shouldn't fret -- oauth2, json activity streams and poco all overlap nicely with the ongoing work for OpenSocial V2.

I’m super excited about how the Google+ project brings the richness and nuance of real life sharing to software, and today we’re announcing our first step towards bringing this to your apps as well by launching the Google+ public data APIs.

These APIs allow you to retrieve the public profile information and public posts of the Google+ users, and they lay the foundation for us to build on together - Nothing great is ever built in a vacuum so I’m excited to start the conversation about what the Google+ platform should look like.

Please follow the link to the blog post to find out what exactly we’re launching and you can find the technical details on how to use this on our new developer site at http://developers.google.com/+

I’d also like to take a moment to introduce my team who will be joining me on working with our developer community (ie: you!) and answering any questions you may have about the Google+ platform on our discussion forums.

We’ll all also be doing a bunch of Hangouts over the next few days and beyond to talk to you directly and hear what you think of the +Platform as well as helping with any coding questions you may have, so make sure to add them to your Google+ developers circle!

Reverse polarity -- fixed.

Using this handy testing tool I found eight outlets with reversed polarity this weekend. Fixing it was fairly straightforward -- cut the power and rewire the outlets so the hot and and neutral wires are connected properly.

If you live in an older house I'd highly recommend getting one of these since reversed polarity can harm sensitive electronics and creates a shock hazard.

Just got an email that Plaxo is discontinuing bare OpenId support and only allowing Google/Yahoo/Hotmail/Facebook for login. Despite OpenId's shortcomings it's sad to see things regress.

-----------------------------

Hello from Plaxo,

In an effort to improve our login experience for users, Plaxo.com is simplifying and standardizing our sign in options. As such, Plaxo will discontinue support of generic OpenID logins as of 08/23/2011. Instead we're offering login via Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, or Facebook oAuth -- or you can, of course, create a Plaxo specific account.

How will this affect me?

If you use a Google, Yahoo, Hotmail or Facebook openid to login, just click the appropriate button when signing in. Plaxo will ask for permission to use your account credentials; click accept/grant and then go on using Plaxo as you normally would.

If you use any other openid to login, please visit our Forgot Password and follow the instructions for Reset Password, which will create you a Plaxo specific password.

Don't forget Doctor Who this weekend. I'll be buying it off Amazon and watching on the Google TV instead of suffering through Comcast's SD and BBC America's commercial interruptions...

This is pretty cool.

The images marked for 7th & Howard match some of the photographs currently hanging in Lighthouse Lofts.
