The Google Book
By V.C. Vickers, 1913
FAR! FAR away, the Google lives, in a land which only children can go to. It is a wonderful land of funny flowers, and birds, and hills of pure white heather.
The Google has a beautiful garden which is guarded night and day. All through the day he sleeps in a pool of water in the center of the garden; but when the night comes, he slowly crawls out of the pool and silently prowls around for food.
All the birds try to avoid the Google, because they don't like him and he frightens them; but some of them he can never catch, especially those with the red beaks. You can never see these birds anywhere except in Google land which is far far away, and only children can go there; and even they must be nearly – but not quite – asleep.
Now in this book you will find pictures of Google birds; some, though ugly, are very nice; others, though pretty, are very nasty. So, perhaps, really the pretty ones are ugly and the ugly ones pretty!

Google Video is increasingly cluttered. Check out the viral links in the blue box ('Email - Blog - Post to MySpace') - do Google not test their interfaces at a range of font sizes?
The interface does complement the video though:
Alaska, around the Deadhorse area. I'm currently experiencing a certain god-like feeling, being able to float around the planet, looking down and admiring the beautiful chaos of the planet. It's amazing the things we can see today and take for granted.
Wherever we go, we stare at the screens of our smartphones. We're immersed in our personalised universes, which are invisible to people nearby. Being the driver of a car full of passengers, the feeling of being excluded from the world that really matters, is even more sad, because there's no escape, no screen to dive into. You need to keep watching the road. If you're the lucky owner of a pair of Google Glass (and not having the Google self driving car yet) then the "Autocue" app is what you, and your fellow passengers, need. It solves a practical problem, but it also disrupts the social situation in the car. No more smartphone staring in isolation, but lively dialogues instead. The multi-user autocue instructs each passenger to speak out lines from classic movie scenes staged inside cars. Instructions appear in sync across the smartphones and the Google Glass. A centralised system plays the scenes as an infinite loop, so you can enter any car in the world and join the conversation. If there's two people in the front seat of the car already, choose the back seat and click to contribute a matching soundtrack.

Google is giving away free Google tents tonight at Where Camp on Google's main headquarters in Mountain View. Starts at 10 a.m. tomorrow night too. This is a picture of the tents they are handing out (they have tons of these tents, just tell them Scoble sent you). To learn more about WhereCamp, go to wherecamp.org This photo was taken with a Nokia N82 cell phone in night mode. Did pretty good, if I had a tripod it would have even been better.

An old time hospital ward. In the foreground are a pair of stretcher bearers with a patient. The bearers' heads have been replaced with the poop emoji from the cover of 'Enshittification.' The emoji has been tinted in Google's logo colors. The head of the patient has been replaced with the grinning visage of a 1910s newsie.
