I’ve been waiting for this! Google Calendar on Glass▼ Reshared Post From Google Glass ▼#GlassUpdates: SMS for iPhone and new Calendar GlasswareDidn’t expect to see us back so soon, did you? Now that we’ve finished upgrading your Glass software to Android KitKat, we plan to bring you faster updates. We’ve got a few new goodies coming later this week:SMS for iPhone – iOS fans, by popular demand you can now get texts from your friends on Glass. Get started by going to your iPhone’s Bluetooth settings and turning on “Show Notifications” for your paired Glass. When you receive a new text message, it will appear as a notification on Glass. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to reply from Glass due to some limitations with iOS. (Android fans, don’t feel left out – you’ve got SMS on Glass already.)Calendar Glassware – On the Glassware tab in MyGlass, you’ll see a new Calendar Glassware. Turn it on to see your agenda to the left of the home screen. Tap a calendar card from your timeline and you can change the title, time, location, and RSVP as well as delete the event or dismiss it from your timeline.These changes will be headed your way in the next few days – stay tuned
Is +Vic Gundotra only leaving +Google or is he also leaving +Google+ ?*[click-to-read-mo.re/p/6Kwn](http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/6Kwn)
Wow… +Vic Gundotra leaves +Google▼ Reshared Post From Vic Gundotra ▼And ThenLast month, my wife’s uncle died in a tragic accident in LA when the bicycle he was using to get lunch was hit by a truck. At the memorial service his daughter relayed a very touching story. She said her dad (who was her best friend) called every day to talk. But instead of opening the call with the customary “How are you” or “What’s going on”, her dad always opened the conversation with “And then?” Her father viewed each conversation as a continuation of the last, and what pained her the most was that there were to be no more “and thens”. I cried. Since then I’ve thought a lot about how similar this is to our life’s endeavors. We pour our heart and soul into our work and it becomes something we love and cherish. But even the challenges we work on today will one day become “and thens” as we move on to the next. Today I’m announcing my departure from Google after almost 8 years.I have been incredibly fortunate to work with the amazing people of Google. I don’t believe there is a more talented and passionate collection of people anywhere else. And I’m overwhelmed when I think about the leadership of +Larry Page and what he empowered me to do while at Google. From starting Google I/O, to being responsible for all mobile applications, to creating Google+, none of this would have happened without Larry’s encouragement and support.I’m also forever in debt to the Google+ team. This is a group of people who built social at Google against the skepticism of so many. The growth of active users is staggering, and speaks to the work of this team. But it doesn’t tell you what kind of people they are. They are invincible dreamers. I love them. And I will miss them dearly.Finally, thank you to all those who I’ve met on Google+. The community here has been so supportive that I don’t even know how to say thank you. You all make Google+. Without you, this social network wouldn’t exist. Your support for Google+, and for me personally is something I will never forget. But, now is the time for a new journey. A continuation. An “and then”. I am excited about what’s next. But this isn’t the day to talk about that. This is a day to celebrate the past 8 years. To cry. And smile. And to look forward to the journey yet to come.And then….+Vic Gundotra #andthenhttp://click-to-read-mo.re/p/6KfR
I can’t say that I was a fan of the first Sin City movie, don’t know what to think of the second…It’s too disjointed for me: 1930s themed, guns, ninja swords, weird looking people. A bit much for me.Can anybody tell me what about the movie appeals to them?[click-to-read-mo.re/p/6K9S](http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/6K9S)
It’s ALIVE!!! Check out this awesome auto-awesome of my beer fermentingI brewed a soon to be delicious batch of Session IPA with my lovely brewssistant +Nadia Ghanmeh and aided by +Google Glass.

Ridiculous articles like this contribute to the MASSIVE misperception about +Google Glass by the publicI’ve been wearing Glass EVERY day, ALL day since the beginning of October. Glass runs my life every single day from phone calls, texts, Twitter, FB, email, alerts, etc. I even control the lights in my house #throughglass . I’ve traveled to conferences across the countryI truly believe that I probably wear Glass most often than any other Glasshole. I am the #1 Glasshole. In all my time wearing Glass, I’ve received one kind request. Only ONE, and that was from a repugnant looking +Costco cashier who asked me not to take pictures of him (not that I ever would want to cherish transaction with a photo).The overwhelming response by everyone else is how fascinating or different Glass is. I find people interested in learning more about Glass and requesting to try it on (of course I’m happy to let anyone try it on). The question I do get is “Do you get kicked out of restaurants and theatres?” or “Have you gotten a ticket for driving with Glass?” The answer to these questions and also this article is “NO.” People are not scared of Glass, people don’t shun or treat me differently.Of course there are people who don’t understand it, but not once has anybody reacted negatively. I wish News outlets and reporters would just get over blowing these rare occurrences so completely out of proportion.This picture is from this past weekend where I found Glass incredibly useful for brewing beer. ;)[click-to-read-mo.re/p/6Iib](http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/6Iib)

Kids have it made these days…Back when I was wee young lad, I had Tinker Toys, Legos and learned about computers and coding on a Radioshack TRS-80 (among other devices). Nowadays, kids have TinkerBots and can learn to code with visual languages.
