Yes. The hypocrisy has me questioning her authenticity. Has she had a change of heart or is she just playing a game to increase popularity and gain votes?

Love the simplicity of their setup (camera on tripod on wheels) https://skitch.com/mikegrace/gds67/screen-shot-2011-10-26-at...

Interesting to see this on HN since I blogged about this a few weeks ago. http://geek.michaelgrace.org/2011/10/google-street-view-in-y... Not sure exactly when Google first started doing this but I like it.

Cool! Maybe we can get something like this is Austin. Love the idea of focusing on launching and getting it out there. Too many of my projects die in my head and half way through.

Soooooo Cool! Never participated in one of these before. Looks like tons of fun.

Nice! Co-workers will be happy to have this.

Will be really interesting to see what comes of this but I can't help but think back to http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/geekandpoke/2010/12/the-free-...

MikeGrace | 14 years ago | on: Mailgun API 2.0: forget MIME

Awesome!!! Love that Mailgun specializes and focuses on making email easy for me. This means that I get to focus on what I do well and let someone else worry about the details of email stuff.

MikeGrace | 14 years ago | on: Maxing out your Dropbox referrals (how I got 16GB for less than $10)

This is awesome! Haha! Really impressive what can be done with a bit of advertising and some good tools. Reminds me of 2 articles I read a while ago.

1. Advertiser/marketer got his ads in front of the people he wanted to interview with: http://mashable.com/2010/05/13/job-google-ad-words/

2. Reporter got inside information on a murder through her blog and Google analytics: http://lauraamico.tumblr.com/post/11316313807/online-investi...

MikeGrace | 14 years ago | on: Google to default to SSL version for logged in users

Grateful for this. This will help protect my friends and family who have no idea what they are doing or what information gets sent over the wire/air.

MikeGrace | 14 years ago | on: Disconnect co-founder: 'People will pay for tools to protect privacy'

I think those who - want to protect their privacy and don't know how - don't want to change their online behavior - have enough disposable income to spend money on a privacy protection tool

will be the target audience.

MikeGrace | 14 years ago | on: Andreessen Horowitz, CrunchFund Back Social Address Book Everyme (YC S11)

I think one of the advantages that everyme is purporting is the fact that their solution is device agnostic (as long as they can get an app on the device)

MikeGrace | 14 years ago | on: No TV for children under 2, urge doctors

Awesome! I laughed at the "secondhand TV" part. Good article that reminds me of another I recently read talking about getting away from being distracted (like this article) and spending time letting your brain work: http://www.fastcompany.com/1700298/what-happened-to-downtime...

See a need, fill a need. Love it!
