Bob's Other Job at Where is Bob?
We agreed to meet at 9pm at a Starbucks just around the corner from the Apple Store. I had fun pretending that I was taking part of some covert spy operation (oh, like you don’t do that). Even Jason the intern showed up to see what the “crazy old folks” were up to. Some of us even brought our spouses and significant others, mostly because they never believed any of our outrageous stories about Bob. Since we rarely do things together outside of the office, this turned out to be a fantastic, albeit surreal, bonding experience for our team.
We were so caught up with giddiness about our venture that we completely overlooked a major flaw in our plan. “How are we going to explain the presence of our entire staff here,” Nick mused as we walked through the door. It was a bit too late to consider an alternative, because Bob spotted us right away.

We're Sorry - Google apologising for Gmail troubles.
We heard loud and clear today how much people care about their Gmail accounts. We followed all the emails to our support team and user group, we fielded phone calls from Google Apps customers and friends, and we saw the many Twitter posts. (We also heard from plenty of Googlers, who use Gmail for company email.) We never take for granted the commitment we've made to running an email service that you can count on.

The Unusable Door at Simple and Lovable
For anyone that thinks usability is stupid, let this be a lesson to you. When you make something unintuitive, people don’t blame you, they blame themselves. They actually feel stupid. And since that is not a great feeling, the chances of them trying again are slim to none.

Haiku Tuesday is the day twitter gets a lot of haiku tweets.
My tweets today:
Forgot my ipod
Must listen to city life
Pleasantly surprised
Wanting Friday drinks
Oh dear, it's only Tuesday
Maybe a pub lunch
Lunchtime. I wander
Outside, in crisp winter air.
A drink not needed.
Seven days too long
A Firstin order online
Lost in the ether
Darkness closing in
A full day at the office
Time to go home

If they had read it, they would have seen better contact details, and as I get on the front page of Google searches, I don't need their services.
