Glass Explorers

Discussion -

+Libby Chang and +Keith Achorn - passionate Glass Explorers, +Society of Glass Enthusiasts SF Bay Area leaders, impatient Tesla test-drive waiting list members. ;)

While hanging out at the Santana Row showroom, most of the customers (and sales reps) were paying attention to us for Glass, more than the Tesla floor models...no joke!

Welcome to the Glass Explorer program, +Jason Salas! It was awesome to hang out with you in person during your quick trip.

If you think we got a lot of attention in San Jose, I can't wait to see the reaction you get as the first Glass Explorer in Guam!

Chromecast Hacks

Jason Salas

App Development -

Here's +Gerwin Sturm's code: https://github.com/Scarygami/chromecast_experiments

Gerwin Sturm originally shared:

Photo Slideshow for Chromecast

Very easy implementation, but I don't think anyone has done this so far.

1. Sign-in on Chrome sender.
2. Connect to receiver.
3. Select album from your own Picasa/Google+ albums.
4. Photos are fetched on the Receiver side and displayed as a slideshow.

Source-code to be released soon.

Planned improvements: "Remote" controls for the slideshow, starting, stopping, changing speed, manually switching between photos.

This would be even nicer with an Android/iOS Sender, but my Android dev skills are a little bit rusty, so maybe someone else wants to work on the Sender side once I released my code. Receiver side should be able to work with either sender as long as it receives the correct messages.

Edit: Source code now online: https://github.com/Scarygami/chromecast_experiments

#Tesla

#TeslaMotors

I didn't get to actually test drive an all-electric, totally hackable +Tesla Motors Model S while in the Bay Area this week, but +Keith Achorn and +Libby Chang took me to the showroom. WOW. We asked Nick, our 23-year-old sales rep, a ton of questions, all of which he answer with absolute precision and class.

I never have wished I had $90,000 in my (Google) wallet more.

Kickin' the tired on a Tesla!

+Jason Salas that would be crazy if you could buy a Tesla with Google Wallet. Definitely would NOT want to have your phone stolen!

#3Dprinting

I checked out a 3D printing demo of Makerbot 2 running on Windows 8.1 at the Microsoft Store at Stanford. Indescribably rad!

I talked the sales rep's ear off for like 30 minutes straight.

Broadcaster, software developer, sportswriter, filmmaker, marketer, author, curator of all things rad, creator of excessively long profile bios

Introduction

I've spent 17 years working with data on the web, and my focus lately has been developing HTML5 games, Hangout apps/extensions, Chromecast apps, working with Google Glass, and audio-animatronic-style robotics. I've developed a ton of ideas about marketing Google+ and turning the platform into a proper venue for sports conversations.

The ongoing projects I spend the most time on include:

"Think for Glass - Discover, Design, Develop" - co-authoring a book on Google Glass with Allen Firstenberg and published by O'Reilly Media, presenting a holistic view of Glass not only as hardware but as a proper computing platform requiring the adoption of a mindset for users to truly appreciate the product and with which architects can build maximum value: http://youtu.be/ChQ1PsQdEGA
Pros & cons for building sports & fitness Glassware - commentary on some of the major considerations for building services for Google Glass for athletics: http://youtu.be/TaSm1kdWwmo
Projections for Hacking on Glass - speculation on what's coming from Glass and the Mirror API, and how to market it: http://youtu.be/cFp-FxfW8WI
Hangout Theater - letting Netflix subscribers enjoy video content together: https://plus.google.com/116113014152499702246/posts/cKmvj3TkU2c
+1'ing the Athletic Experience - making Google+ a great platform for sports verticals: https://plus.google.com/116113014152499702246/posts/M9wn6V7TBUq
#7Questions - profiling people in our community people with phenomenal talent, brilliant minds and amazing personal stories: https://plus.google.com/s/%237Questions
Straight Down Beach Volleyball - my HTML5 multiplayer sports game: https://plus.google.com/116113014152499702246/posts/652t1swbg6X
"Is Anyone Here?" - my documentary film retro-chronicling the first year of the Google+ community, in our own words: https://plus.google.com/116113014152499702246/posts/YaFNuHjXTbA

The $0.05 tour of me:

Co-anchor, interactive media manager & play-by-play sportsguy for Guam's largest media company.
Remember the 98-lb. weakling we all had in high school? That dude picked on me.
Progenitor of the #webIsBetter movement (ok, well I use the hashtag more than anyone else).
4-time Edward R. Murrow Award winner.
BCS analyst - I wrote my own ranking system for comparison.
An e-book is still a book, therefore I am a published author.

Things that do it for me:

Tech
Sports
Marketing
Media
Journalism

Research interests:

Realtime data
Artificial intelligence
Machine learning
Robotics
Sentiment analysis
Games
Animation
Consumer psychology

Bragging rights

I'm qualified for absolutely nothing I do - I majored in marketing & music theory and wound up doing broadcasting & computer science. Go me.
