The odd things you find on Netflix.... Searching for more info didn't bring up much except for this quote from a press release:
"`Nancy Drew' and `The Hardy Boys' will move smoothly into the modern age with great adventures and mysteries using modern day products like cell phones, CD-ROMs and modems to continue their young adult sleuthing."
Had to watch three episodes to fully appreciate how bad it was.
I took some last year you can find in this album >> http://goo.gl/RU34V
Me too! If you ever get a chance, visit the Alameda Classic Car show during the Summer. Lots of cool cars there. http://www.flickr.com/photos/clankennedy/sets/72157627850153864/
I once had a 1951 Pontiac with a hood ornament that had an indian head that lit up. Very cool. It also had a straight-8 engine and a tube radio.
Check out the hood ornament on this 1939 Pontiac Silver Streak (wish G+ could parse an image and put it inline)

Dan Soto -- seems like I don't have access to the album.
Ian Kennedy -- wow what a set. chrometastic!
Scott Armstrong -- sounds like it was a Chieftain.
These two cars were found in the back roads of Sausalito -- lots of interesting things going on far away from the tourist spots.
Paul Lindner Sorry..I made it public now.
Dan Soto nice shots! I had to +1 the demon and eagle, very cool.
That sounds right. It had a cool visor, too.
Wow I would love to own a Packard just for the hood ornament.
I highly recommend that everyone check out the rich snippets page.

- Have a Google+ account? Try putting your other profile links in there to see if you have things all linked together. (See for more on this...)
- Webmaster? See how Google parses your site. You'll also find some good examples of how you can markup your pages to be better represented in Google+ and in Google search results.
Happy to help webmasters implement this -- leave me a message on my profile.

Until everything in the world is in the cloud this works well for getting the bits from the linux file server in the garage to the Google TV in the living room.
Plus it uses freebase.com data to enhance your content in new and interesting ways.
That looks pretty darn handy. Too bad I don't have quite enough horsepower on my Iomega 2gb nas to do transcoding.. but then everything on there is natively playable by the gtv.. maybe I should give it a go.
Plex has their own media server that can run directly on the NAS. It's a lot better than DLNA in my opinion. Luckily Plex+GoogleTV supports most codecs. The only issue you might have is if you run Plex on your phone where transcoding might be an issue..
I've run plex on my previous DroidX, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and now my Razr without any issues at all with transcoding really. As long as the encoding formats aren't too exotic it works fantastically. I refuse to screw around with DLNA at all.
Sounds worth a shot. I've got media-tomb running now to allow access from the PS3 and Google TV. It works kinda ok. The phone clients really seem to have a hard time with it though. Twonky will kinda work, then stop... and it forgets where it was if it stops.
Breezy day at the market. Parking meters are now $4.25/hr.

Breezy day at the market. Parking meters are now $4.25/hr.
Bumped into Benjamin Trott which was nice.
That rate is sure not going to help small business in the City. The issue of parking is a hot one, is it a tax, service or is it a fine? And, what margin over cost should cities be allowed to extract from the public for their stated mission of "facilitating the orderly flow of vehicles in an our of retail areas". Somehow $50-100 tickets for missing a few minutes does not seem proportionate to the cost or offense - IMO improving this issue could really help small businesses EVERYWHERE
Parking cost is demand based on all new meters. Combined with real time information about demand I think that'll be great for small business because people who want to park and can pay will be able to.
From http://sfpark.org/
Parking prices are incrementally raised or lowered in SFpark pilot areas based on demand. Rates change no more than once a month and only in small increments.
I guess this makes sense at a macro-level. Would be nice if things fluctuated based on real-time demand though!
no tethering. make sure you read the known issues.
