Checking out in Walmart the other day I noticed this on the screen in front of me. A console output left in by a programmer? A debug output oops? It has no value to the user.

Google+ Shouldn't Provide A Post API
I've been disappointed that Google doesn't provide an API to post to my Plus stream. It's really selfish but I want to post from any of the client tools I use, and that is the problem, so does everyone else. As Google's Vic Gundotra says, "your stream could be easily overwhelmed", and I agree.
Looking at this problem from their point of view, with pretty weak noise control, Google+ would quickly turn into an out of control Twitter. The sad part is the difficulty of preventing people from abusing the API. Throttling and whitelisting seem to be common solutions to this problem, but there is no guarantee the user of a white listed app won't abuse it.
I'll take the hassle of having to manually post until Google can figure it out.

Do You Want To Trade Books?
I cleaned out an office yesterday, and discovered I had about 30 un-read books. Looks like I have enough material for about a year, not including the 10 or so un-read books on my Kindle and graphic novels.
I also have a large pile of books that I've read and probably won't read again. If you are interested in any of them, can we trade for something you've read and probably won't read again. Here is my list:
7th Son: Descent
The 4-Hour Work Week
The Rise of the Creative Class
Now, Discover Your Strengths
Beyond The Call of Duty
Just a Geek
Linchpin
The Dip
The Power of Charm
Trust Agents
Blue Kingdoms Shades & Spectors
Pirates of the Blue Kingdoms
Rework
Twittfaced
Notes from a small island
The why of Work
The Narrow Road
Killing Giants
Eat People
I'm interested in any political thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, comics and graphic novels, and business books. I could even go for something in photography that isn't camera specific. Thanks.
