- Yesterday was awesome.
- Google I/O's keynote held all that I wanted to see.
- Android Auto isn't revolutionary. Not in the slightest. But it is a symbol of progress into a connected world. There was the Industrial Revolution, the Computer Revolution and higher ups are raving about the upcoming Robot Revolution. But there's a step in between and that's the Connected Revolution. The future here we come.
- I can't wait for Android TV to become what everyone has in their living room. Huge step forward for a connected home though it's casting power. Google is learning from the success of chromecast.
- I got a little more excited about Android Wear. Google proved to me that the watch can be and will be a powerful medium to stay connected instead of an individual product that all the smart watches before Android Wear were.
- I broke out dancing when they announced the Chromebook stuff. I've been waiting patiently for two years to get a Chromebook. Even when the Pixel came out I waited still. Then a month ago Intel and Google announced the new Braswell powered line of Chromebooks and finally it looked like the end was near. Android apps on Chromebooks is not only revolutionary, but very powerful.
- All the announcements again speaks to the Connected Revolution. Google is telling developers - "with Google, you build one app. and it'll be there for TV, cars, watches, phones, tablets, and laptops." Powerful. Very, very powerful.
- Today was very much less awesome
- Draft day started out with Asik getting traded to a team that isn't the Boston Celtics.
- Then at the draft all 5 teams ahead of the Celtics picked all 5 of the guys I wanted. Not one of the teams made some stupid decision. Not one. You know how rare that is? Very rare. So rare that Celtic fan, arguably the most popular Celtic fanboy, Bill Simmons redid all the drafts in the past 20 years and came up with the conclusion that the best players in a draft are almost never picked in order from best to worst. And it wasn't even close.
- Good read btw, I highly recommend if you're interested in NBA history or are an NBA junkie - the two go hand in hand btw.
- The Celtics drafted the next best player which is good. But I'm still not happy about it.
- The NBA Draft is a symbol of hope. I obviously wasn't Smart enough to play my odds and put my hope in the right places.
- The reason why Smart is capitalized is because the Celtics drafted a player named Marcus Smart. A lot of people are okay with this, including me. What I'm not okay with is that one of the teams ahead of us didn't mess up like they always do.
