Guess what? I'm also on Google+

I have a feeling very few of you are on Google+, but if you are, I thought you might like to know that I'm now on sharing links, thoughts and things of a like nature on that oft-ignored social-media site via google.com/+BryanOchalla.

I've actually had a Google+ account for ages now, but I only began using it in the last couple of weeks due to learning that the powers that be at Google apparently give added weight to links and shares and such that come from their social-media offering.

I don't make a dime from this blog at the moment and probably never will, so I'm not sure why that matters to me, but I guess that's a conversation that's best left for another day and another post, wouldn't you agree?

Anyway, if by some chance you do have a Google+ account, I'd of course love it if you'd add me to one or more of your circles, share my links now and then or simply make a comment should you ever feel the itch. Also, let met know your name, username or Google+ handle so I can follow you back and ensure ours isn't simply a one-way social-media relationship.

Google + Pac-Man = the perfect end-of-the-week time waster

If you're a fan of Pac-Man (and who isn't?), make sure you stop by Google.com at some point today.

In celebration of the iconic arcade game's 30th anniversary (May 22), Google has created its first interactive doodle (home page logo). What does that mean? Well, if you're anything like me, it means you'll be spending a big chunk of your day playing the company's custom-made (using using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS) Pac-Man game.

By the way, an interesting article over at CNET.com details how this project came together. Check it out--if you can wrench yourself away from Google.com.
