As +Kristi Fahlsing pointed out, glad these were not included in The Death of a Thousand Condiments. One hot sauce in the mix was quite enough!

Got +Amanda Rachelle Warren? No?! Get on it!!!

Oh, and she loves you to introduce yourself with pictures of your cats, or a clown. Or a cat in a clown costume — that would be perfect. {much evil laughter}

Reshared post from +Amanda Rachelle Warren

Dear new people,

I will let what my husband just said about me serve as an introduction. And since it is in quotes I won't even feel bad about saying it. He said, "Why would anyone read stuff you write? You are one uncouth motherfucker."

And then I told him I wasn't. Because I'm not…not here anyway. Only I said it in a really uncouth and profanity-filled way which I refuse to transcribe here on the grounds that it will make me seem like a jerk.

So he said, "you don't cuss on G+? You're nothing but a liar. They don't even know the real you."

I told him to "shut his hoggy fucking mouth before I kicked his dad in the dickhole." And we laughed. Really loudly. And that, friends, is how I talk at home. I promise not to write that sort of thing here. And I assure you, I am perhaps overly myself on G+. I forget there's like 3,000 people reading this…oops, so all my foibles, idiocies and nerdiness is exposed for the world.

Welcome to me…let the uncircling begin!

Those of you who decide to stick around, introduce yourselves. Are you a writer? A tech or science-type? Are you a teacher? Are you a weirdo? An angry poor person? An artist? How do you feel about pie? Do you post nothing but cat jpgs and gifs? Are you a professional clown?

In the interest of full disclosure, I don't care for your cat (yes, yours…I do not care for it), and I have coulerophobia (fear of clowns). So, if you are those last two things, please let me know so I can avoid you at all costs.

Have a great Friday. I look forward to meeting all of you in the Gsphere!

Posted about this camera originally back in January. Now it's out! Can't wait to see one up close!

Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.

Amazing Camera by Lytro captures entire light field

[EDIT 3/2/12] It's available! $399 for 8gb (350 pictures) or $499 for 16gb (750 pictures)

Want want want!!!

From their website:

The Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space. By instantly capturing complete light field data, the Lytro gives you capabilities you've never had in a regular camera. Since you'll capture the color, intensity, and direction of all the light, you can experience the first major light field capability – focusing after the fact. Focus and re-focus, anywhere in the picture. You can refocus your pictures at anytime, after the fact. And focusing after the fact, means no auto-focus motor. No auto-focus motor means no shutter delay. So, capture the moment you meant to capture not the one a shutter-delayed camera captured for you.
Thanks to +Gabriel Kennedy for his original post; I could not share to public but he gets the kudos!

Thanks +Amanda Rachelle Warren for nominating me for Sean's circle. Honored. There are a lot of familiar names there! I recommend everyone check it out when you get a moment.

Thanks +Sean Cowen for taking the time to do this project.

The "I'm Putting You On The Spot" Circle

So — I put this post out a dew days ago and made everyone work hard at thinking about this. Some superstars did make the list and some of the popular folks; but I decided not to do any censorship of the recommendations. It wasn't strictly adhering to the rules – but I have a soft spot for the rule breakers sometimes. ha! This is one amazing list and the vast majority of people here are either under-circled, or new to G+, or just haven't had champions to put their names forward much.

This was the original question posed…

Can you tell me the names of two people who you feel have not been recognized enough on G+ yet? Two people who may not be a part of any "in-crowd," and who very few people may know about – but people nevertheless who you think are way beyond cool and have the most incredible things to say?

I've never shared a circle before on Google+. I've given some recommendations here and there – but now I want to see what you think – and I want to create my FIRST EVER post-driven circle. So — I know how hard this is, and I'm asking a difficult question.

CAN YOU GIVE ME TWO NAMES (and only two names)?

Please comment on +Keith Cramer's post so everything is in one place!

Which do you use? Grooveshark, Spotify, or Brand X?

I posted one of his performances earlier today but his style of playing really stuck with me. It is very unique two-handed style and he uses the guitar body for some light percussion which just sounds awesome in this arrangement.

Take a few minutes and listen… and show +Preston Reed some love. He commented back earlier to me almost immediately so he's down-to-earth. 🙂

Jason has a lot of really cool images and sculptures. Many are done in the style of medical cut-aways, but of cartoon characters like Hello Kitty or Domo. Surf through his galleries!
