I don't know about you, but I can't hear anything when I'm on my bike, especially conversational tones. I'm not sure I'd like a "smart" bike anyway. Kind of seems like it would take the adventure out of riding.

I would tend to agree, the concept of "Situational Awareness" for the road condition warnings , and traffic conditions could be helpful, but conversing with full on dialogue should be kept to a minimum.

After riding for so long, I think I'd find it hard to trust the advice of a machine.

I mean, I'm so used to doing the situational awareness Ross MacRae​ mentioned that I'd feel like it was a nagging back seat driver. Let alone if the machine "took over" for some reason.

EXPERIMENTAL GHOST oh for sure, I 100% agree, I think a good way of thinking about this is, because we know companies are going to add this kind of Grannie mode/backseat driver, how can it be made less intrusive while providing different levels of usefulness based on rider competency.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
