auto awesome


google+ has a really cool newish feature. when you upload photos to a picasa album (like blogger does automatically, right here on this blog), google+ will sometimes give you a little "auto awesome" update in the right hand corner of your g+ page. sometimes, they have made a little moving gif of your photo (as above) and other times, they have made the shiny bits of it sparkle, like this one:


i loaded the photos of the bordbombe (table bomb) to picasa on purpose, hoping g+ would do this (i'm not sure how to make it do it) and was glad when it recognized them as a series suitable for a gif. i think it's pretty cool and even agree that it is indeed aptly named. what will google think of next?

  2. What they're doing is a variation on Glass and the glittery sparkly things are spying on you. And if you're interesting enough you'll show up either at the NSA hq or simply on YouTube.

comments are the new black. so be trendy and leave one.

what is, however, not trendy, is if your comment contains an ad or a link to a spam website. those, like white shoes after labor day, will be deleted.
