Here's what I love about Google+ in general and the Google+ Diet in particular: Instead of saying, "I'm going to write a blog post now," or "I'm going to send an e-mail" or "I think I'll tweet something" you simply say what you have to say, then decide who you're going to say it to. If you address it to "Public," it's a blog post. If you address...
If you address it to "Your Circles" it's a tweet. If you address it to your "My Customers" Circle it's a business newsletter. If you address it to a single person, it can be a letter to your mother. I'd say this is pretty revolutionary. If you address it to "Your Circles" it's a tweet. If you address it to your "My Customers" Circle it's a business newsletter.

Ah, Iceland -- home to the Blue Lagoon, Sigur Rós and, most recently, crowdsourced constitutionalism
With its economy still reeling from the 2009 financial crisis, the country has begun hammering away at a brand new constitution, and is asking its online citizenry for help. The draft is being prepared by a democratically elected, 25-member council, but any Icelanders with an internet connection can add their own suggestions, engage in online debates, or follow the proceedings in real-time on Facebook. All suggestions are moderated to weed out the really dumb ones ("FEWER VOLCANOES"), and those approved by the board will be directly added to the draft, due to be completed at the end of this month. It's a fascinating social experiment, but one that could probably only happen in a place where nearly 90 percent of all households have a broadband connection, two-thirds of the entire population is on Facebook -- meaning their politicians are always within poke's reach. - Fossil Huntress
Looking forward to hearing how this process works. I think it's the way of the future - Fossil Huntress

Enroute to Desolation Sound
Northwest Washington
The siltstones, sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates of the Chuckanut Formation were laid down about 40-54 million years ago during the Eocene epoch, a time of luxuriant plant growth in the subtropical flood plain that covered much of the Pacific Northwest. This ancient wetland provided ideal conditions to preserve the many trees, shrubs &plants that thrived here. - Fossil Huntress

PLATE TECTONICS & PINOT GRIS - http://fossilhuntress.blogspot.com/2011...
An evening view of Lund Harbour off beautiful British Columbia's rugged west coast is enough to get most folks dreaming of an ocean view. Some 270 million plus years ago, had one wanted to buy waterfront property in what is now British Columbia, you’d be looking somewhere between Prince George and the Alberta border. Sipping a glass of Sandhill, I'm thankful for plate tectonics and the cultivation of the pinot gris grape. - Fossil Huntress

Canadian Rockies up near Tyaughton and Castle Peak. The area is known in the mapping world as the Taseko Lake Distruct -- though I've never visited the lakes. We're always up too high. - Fossil Huntress
