I really wish I could say "sorry I haven't posted in so long, I'll totally start posting more often."  But that's not really true.  A plain blog doesn't really fit my update style any more.  The truth is I have been posting prolifically, on Twitter, Flickr, and Youtube.  Lots of work-related stuff, lots of pictures of the kids.

I've once again changed my gallery.  But this time I think I'm going to keep it for a while.

(That means "first day" and it's a biblical reference.)

I've ranted before about Google's long game; see Google's Endgame.  I 2011, I predicted that Google was aiming at a unified user interface.  I was partially right.  Google is still aiming at a unified UI, but their goals are going so much deeper than that.  I just wiped my cell phone, and the experience gave me a taste of the future, Google style.

All you need to know is there's a cut scene where a character talks about someone he lost, while Free Bird plays in the background.
