I dropped Ph. at The Ride stop near the Ypsi water tower, went directly to my office, hurriedly packed two bags of books, my third-year review binder-in-progress, my auxiliary monitor and its stand, and returned home to work in the quasi-air-conditioned upstairs space otherwise known as the office-bedroom. Hoyt and humidity, you win.<\/li>\n<li>A couple of strange emails lately. One from my credit union with the subject line, &#8220;We&#8217;re Friends, Aren&#8217;t We?&#8221; The body message, of course, suggests I friend the union on Facebook (apparently they do not realize that Facebook is pass\u00e9, that Google+ is now social media boss). Annoying. Yet emails like this one remind me that the key difference among these platforms is how they verb things together. I might <em>follow<\/em> the credit union or even <em>draw<\/em> them into a circle, but friending is not quite right. I could go on and on about this, but that goes against the list-logic of the inventory.  The point is, if Google+ thrives, it could be because it managed to shed some of the peculiarity in friending and following as the default association-making verbs in Facebook and Twitter. I have seen attempts to assign verbs to Google+ (encircling, plusing), and maybe one of these will garner some mass appeal over the next several months. But I like about Google+ that the linking gesture does not too easily come down to one verb.<\/li>\n<li>The other email of note came from the University of Michigan ticket marketing group. I got on the mailing list because I went to a preseason basketball game last fall between UM and SVSU. Many UM sport-promotional emails have followed. The most recent showed up the other day with &#8220;Brady Hoke&#8221; as the named sender (a cryptic email address reassured me this was not, in fact, the new coach himself sending me a personal email&#8230;to my great disappointment!). Subject line: Your Exclusive Individual Ticket Presale Code Has Arrived! I read on, knowing EMU plays at UM this fall. Reading it through, I was tempted to answer the email, even though I know it won&#8217;t go to Hoke, to say &#8220;Your Exclusive Individual No Thank-you Has Arrived!&#8221; because what I found surprised me: individual tickets to the UM-EMU football game on Sept. 17 are available for the special price of $70. To put this into perspective, home ticket prices for EMU are $9. Michigan Stadium is <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?saddr=Michigan+STADIUM,+Ann+Arbor,+MI&#038;daddr=799+North+Hewitt+Road,+Ypsilanti,+MI+48197-1701+(Rynearson+STADIUM)&#038;sll=42.256491,-83.647285&#038;sspn=0.008703,0.022724&#038;geocode=Ff3shAIdgxoC-yGt01DMtggA1w%3BFf7GhAIdy6QD-yHHtGLkWVPjIilDGMGM5Kg8iDFiNvW6pUsHsQ&#038;gl=us&#038;mra=ls&#038;t=h&#038;z=13\">5.6 miles away<\/a>. Last time these two gridiron giants squared off, the EMU contingent was offered <em>free<\/em> tickets the week before the game. So, I am considering attending, but I may press my cheap luck and hold out for a better deal than $70 per ticket. And if it sells out, I&#8217;ll just have to listen to it on the radio.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve been fiddling around with the Google+ photo combination that includes 1) the Android app&#8217;s automatic upload of photos to a G+ folder, 2) the duplication of that folder in Picasa, and 3) weighing the merits of Picasa over Flickr, where I continue to hold an shamefully underused Pro account. Consequently, <a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/lh\/photo\/3kRdxMEiLna0FAsyTKVAzw?feat=directlink\">here is a photo<\/a> I took of an enormous moth just before eight this morning as I left Hoyt with my desk essentials in a couple of reusable grocery bags. But this inventory item is as much about Picasa&#8217;s linking and embedding functions as it is about the moth. By now perhaps they are one and the same, inseparable.<br \/>\n<table style=\"width:auto;\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/lh\/photo\/3kRdxMEiLna0FAsyTKVAzw?feat=embedwebsite\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-hDkr0HbXm5Q\/TiTQOIHYmSI\/AAAAAAAAAHI\/NYJzL-n2DQM\/s400\/IMAG0325.jpg?resize=400%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"300\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right\">From <a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/dereknmueller\/EWM?authuser=0&#038;feat=embedwebsite\">Blog<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>I started a comfort inventory this morning, but, not finding it comforting, I postponed.
