This is a great little slice of history from the early 90s. Reminds me of the times I saw BiT perform in the 7th Street Entry back in Minneapolis. And it was satisfying to hear them on his show back then too.

This is just so amazing.

We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.
Please follow along as we share some of our ideas and stories. We’d love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass?

If you liked the video you'll like the album even more. At the very least give In for the Kill a listen.
And I see that La Roux has a page here but they haven't done much with it. Consider circling and they might start posting here in addition to twitter/facebook.
[And if you're a musician or rep one I'd be interested in knowing what G+ can do better for you!]

A world where anyone can be a major broadcaster with the people that matter. (And face-tracking antlers)

Google+ Hangouts: Going beyond the status update
One of the most intimate forms of human connection is eye contact. Our digital tools have given us new forms - text messages, email, status updates - but nothing compares to the richness and intensity of looking into someones eyes as they talk.
Our emphasis on face-to-face-face group video communication has lead to some amazing experiences. By giving this away for free, we've enabled people around the world to see into each others eyes and share discussion and laughter in new ways.
Today, we improve the service significantly.
1) We are enabling you to hangout on any post.
2) We've reached an important milestone for "Hangouts on Air". Hundreds of people (who we have whitelisted as part of our trial) can now broadcast their hangouts to the entire world for free completely self-service. Our goal is to enable this for everyone on the planet.
3) We are making it possible for you to start hangouts from messenger on Android or iPhone devices.
4) You can call any phone number in the world and conference in anyone.
5) We threw in a reindeer :-)

Just found out that Netflix has the 1981 Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy up for streaming. Highly recommended. What's your latest streaming video gem?

Improper Sharing... in the middle of the stream!
I found a post with "too much information" in my email this morning. Take a moment and consult your circles before you post. You wouldn't want to look foolish like the folks in the video below...

Welcome aboard!
[sharing private to only you..]
Google+ is the crazy project I'm working on. Would love to hear your opinions on how you and your friends use the product. My eventual goal is to get the entire family signed up and do a 10-way video hangout.
