Just caught up with this from back in the Summer - Lloyd Cole on Low, and 1977 - eloquent & greatful. Many shared his musical journey with Low as the point of departure. http://pocket.co/shczR

This is a really awesome feature. You can now treat publicly shared #Drive folders as a website. Right, relative links to CSS, JS, images and any other content works completely. For those observant hackers among you (are there any other kind of hackers?!) you will know that using the Drive Javascript API you can now write a complete Drive app that accesses Drive files and is hosted on Drive itself.

Climate Deniers are the Equivalent of Galileo?  I don't think so. I recently retweeted a link to the statistics on the miniscule number of climate science papers that argued against the theory of global warming: RT @hari: Between '91 & 12 there were 13,950 peer-reviewed #climate articles. 24 denied global warming. bit.ly/XX9PPR   Predictably, all kinds of people came out of the woodwork comparing the 24 scientists who wrote those papers to Galileo.  Now, it's certainly still possible that the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming could be wrong, despite the overwhelming agreement among scientists, but the Galileo analogy is entirely backwards, since the "Galileo" position with respect to global warming is held by Roger Revelle, who first noticed something odd in ocean chemistry in 1957.  It's taken fifty years for his discovery to be taken seriously, and if you want to argue from historical analogy, climate change deniers and their politica...

Enable the disruptor!  https://www.google.com/intl/en/takeaction/
