Desktop Jellyfish Tank

So cool! My worry is that I would look at it cross-eyed and they would all die. The price of the jellyfish themselves are $39 and $55 for small and large moon jellyfish so most of the expenditure appears to be in the equipment. If anyone has or gets one, I would love to hear about it!

Visit their website (http://www.jellyfishart.com) for more information.

The Whole Package. For $499, you get:
• Acrylic Desktop Jellyfish Tank (6 gallons, 18”H x 16”W x 8”L)
• All Essential Tools: Feeding Pipette, Whisper quiet air pump, Airline, Hydrometer, Substrate, Programmable Color-Changing, LED and Remote Control, Filtration Media, Power Supply.
• 1 Large Moon Jellyfish and 2 Small Moon Jellyfish
• Six Month Supply of Food.
• Shipping for All Items

I am the angriest bird

I had not gone into Angry Birds in quite a while. Talking to Dustin today, he asked if I still had top score on the first board. Yes. Yes, I do. What's funny to me is that not only do I know Dustin at number four, but my personal friend +Rhonda Stewart edged him out and is number three! I am not sure what this says socially about us. 😉

I do not know +Melissa Fisher, but she almost dethroned me! Nice! +Keith Cramer just disappeared.

Oh, and, one more thing… Suck it +Dustin Cochran 😉

Help a plusser's dried up stream!

Poor +Kari Tedrick's stream has somehow dried up!? Before permanent brain cell damage occurs, we must act quickly! Please, for the love of {your deity here} share a post with cute little kittens to her. I think that it is cruel and unusual but very funny the only way to save her. Tag with #kittenforkari 😉

Plussers don't let plussers' streams dry up. It's plus law.

Where did all the Googlers go?

Refresh, closed chrome completely, signed out, signed back in and *still * my stream indicates that other than a single post at 7:29 am, no one has posted anything since +Scott Cramer shared +Aldric Newberry WerdGame post at 7:46 Pm last night.
I find it hard to believe my stream has been dried up for 12 hours.

Update – Star Wars Costume Contest

+Keith Cramer and I are in a Star Wars costume contest initiated by +Halfdan Reschat. By April 1st, we have to have our costumes ready for judging. Loser dresses as Princess Leia, in her slave girl costume, in a public hangout. Links to related posts are below if you want to read more.

I have officially started construction on C3PO. I figure it's key to get the breast and back plate looking right. I am using a metal mesh (diamond metal lath) for rigidity. I really should wear some gloves cutting this stuff. Ouch. I have no patterns so I am winging it. I have scratches all over, especially after I ditched the shirt when it kept catching and the sleeves kept getting in the way. Let's just say I should have gotten some pasties or something…

I saw someone do something similar online and they used a .3mm polystyrene sheet for covering the metal lath. I have not found one of those locally yet. Cost is a factor so I have to keep it low. The metal lath sheet cost me about $8 and some change. Ideas appreciated! ;)

More later! ;)

Spider In My Bed – A True Short Horror Story

My partner claims she warned me in a calm monotone voice, “Get up. Now. There is a spider in the bed.”

I heard something entirely different. “GET UP NOW! A LARGE HAIRY ALIEN SPIDER IS CRAWLING UP YOUR LEG!”

My partner lies. Especially the part where I screamed like a little girl.

I saw this image on a limited post but credit to +Kathy Morlock for the share and +Barbara Lyn for the original!

Shared Circle of Eclectic, Active, Interactive Plussers

Thanks +Lady Fran W for a great circle of folks! Worthwhile! Add it to it's own circle or put these folks in whatever you call your interactive/active circle. You may have most of them, but you very well may pick up some new awesome peeps! I did. 🙂

Please comment on the original post. Thanks!

Reshared post from +Lady Fran W

FACEBOOK INTERVENTION
The below circle is an eclectic group of active, and interactive, Plussers. A cross section of G+ engagers; local and global, photographers and chefs, the average Joe Blo and the high profile poster, left wing and right wing, conservative and liberal, leaders and followers… a positive addition to any stream. Adding this circle will certainly not result in the reported G+ ghost town.

DISCLAIMER:
A circle such as this touches on all walks of life, opinions, interests and sensitivities. By its nature, it contains people who you may not agree with, like or care to interact with. That's OK It's designed to evolve. It's intended to be a good starting point from which to build other circles and create other relationships. I can almost guarantee you that there are people in here who's posts you will want to mute (not mine of course), and others who's posts you will treasure. People you will love and people you will love to hate. Tweak the circle to your own personal tastes. The one thing that everyone in this circle has in common though, is a desire to interact, and a respect for the G+ community.

A NEW FRIEND:
The original purpose for putting this circle together, as many are aware, was to open up a whole new side of G+ to a Facebooker who, being far from unique, commented that G+ was a wasteland of no activity. I put to him the challenge that by adding this circle, his stream would fill with all sorts of weird and wonderful content. He accepted the challenge and without further ado, I introduce you all to +Mic Cullen (Be nice, he's still fleshing out his profile)

TRACKING
I have made this circle public and notified +CircleCount so you should be able to see the circle over there.
http://www.circlecount.com/sharedcircle/?id=z12ict44mnzasdg2222eudkynujgtt4z104

NOTIFICATION:
If you have been notified (via email) of this post, it's because you're in the circle! Please be assured that I do not use notifications of this type often, and have no intention of flooding your inboxes.

Favorite Line of the day!

When I hear or read a statement that just absolutely takes the prize for the day, then it goes in the stream! Oh yeah, and none of that confusing context to get in the way. 😉

Line of the day is from +Lady Fran W and goes a little something like this:

It's hard to miss a jiggly willy as it fleets across a stream.

5 Ways to Save Google+ Posts for Later Reading

Maybe intuitive. Maybe not. I have used the "Remember" circle suggestion, but I think I'm going to try the "Read It Later" extension. My other method is opening everything in a new tab until my computer crashes. Erk. :-/

Thanks +Leah Davies for the post and +Randy Resnick for the share!

5 Ways to Save Google Plus Posts for Later Reading

While you're browsing Google+ on your computer, you may come across a post which you might want to read or share later. There are a few ways you can do this using Chrome Extensions and other service tools. There are likely to be similar methods to use the same services in Firefox or IE.

1. Read It Later – Service, Chrome Extension + Mobile App
This is my personal favourite because it syncronises with the ReadItLater service across my desktops (Chrome) and all my devices and now has over 300 apps.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bbabbdijmipkeilehcnbopedgbjejbmb

2. Evernote – Sharing to an Evernote Circle
I learned this technique from +Chase Mann in the early days of G+ and I was already an Evernote user. If you want to save a post for more than just reading it later, you can do this by sharing to a circle which only has a 'user' you've added which is your evernote email address. For more detailed instructions, see Chase's post.
https://plus.google.com/104226133029319075907/posts/TT2NMtK7zWg

3. Favorite Posts for Google+
This is a Chrome Extension that adds a favorite star to each post in a G+ stream, just click the star to add the post to your G+ Favorites. To access the full listing, a Favorites menu link has been added to the left sidebar to access your list of favorite posts.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kbhljnodjcehoonoejjpjnifgkkgjiec

4. ReadLaterFast Chrome Extension
The last Chrome extension I tested was ReadLaterFast, similar to ReadItLater, but can be used either in Chrome only mode without sync, or by syncing to a Diigo.com account.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/decdfngdidijkdjgbknlnepdljfaepji

5. Share to Empty Circle
If you create a circle without adding any users to it, you can also share posts to this circle to save for later. You would still have access to the circle from your mobile apps if they are configured to display this circle.

There are probably a dozen more ways to save posts from Google+, but these seemed the most obvious to me.

For a more detailed and illustrated version of this post with links to all extensions:
