An amazing day underway at CoCo at Google for Entrepreneurs youth training day. 75 impressive teens here from the STEPUP program. So inspired by the talent and passion in the room.

Google TV wins over the Chromecast for live YouTube streams... Not sure why. I can watch via the GTV browser.
The Postal Service is playing now... 2nd to last show.

Nice writeup of Jeff Dean "Google's Unsung Hero" in Inventing Tomorrow, a University of Minnesota alumni mag. Sadly there are no Jeff Dean Facts listed.

While the activity log at https://plus.google.com/apps/activities/from/i9 is nice for keeping track of posts you +1'd it contained too little information to be really useful, so I whipped up a chrome extension that rectifies this "issue" by fetching profile picture and a small text snippet for each of the posts via the Google+ API. This only works for public posts but from my experiments it seems that only public posts ever get added to the activities anyway. The extension still needs a bit of testing and clean-up, but I'll open-source it soon :)
PS. I've all sent feedback that this should be the default behaviour without the need for extra scripts :)
PPS. Source now available you want to give it a try - https://github.com/Scarygami/gplus-experiments/tree/master/better%20%2B1%20log

I got an email from the Google + platform team saying that there was a problem with our implementation. The email however didn't contain any specifics, just some links to common issues. I've spotted 2 small things that might be the issue. Thing is I do not want to address what might be an issue only to have it turn out that I missed something for fixed something that wasn't broken.
So the question is where do I go / who do I talk to to get specifics?
