[Video] Using Duet AI to speed up development
I've found #GoogleCloud's #DuetAI to be a useful tool for development. It really helps with context switching, boilerplate, and more. Here's me walking through using it to work with a public API.
[Video]What is Cloud CDN & Media CDN
A CDN is only as good as its infrastructure. Google understands infrastructure and at massive scale. Check out my latest video where I discuss this.
The Cardist and the Cloud
In my last post I mentioned that I was going to be recording another video last week. Well, it got uploaded today so here it is.
In the video I discuss...
- The Multicloud Mindset series on Twitter Spaces
- Cloud training specifically for Ukrainians
- Org Policy Service
For the shoot I wore my card connoisseur shirt that really stole the show. Also, I need to get a haircut so I don't have to pull my hair back like that.

When I gave 20% and did my first TWIC
Before I joined the DMN/S team full time, I worked with them as a 20% project. 20% projects are when you get to put 20% of your time into some other project, that may have nothing to do with the team you are working with. It wasn't writing code, per se, but it was talking tech - or being a developer advocate, something I have been trying to do before I even joined google.
In a recent post, I mentioned that I started to work for a new team at Google. That team is the Developer Media Network/Studios (DMN/S) team. It is tasked with creating engaging, digital content at scale.
Before I joined the team full time, I worked with them (then named the Online Content & Experiments, or OC&E, team) as a 20% project. 20% projects are when you get to put 20% of your time into some other project, that may have nothing to do with the team you are working on. It wasn't writing code, per se, but it was talking tech - or being a developer advocate, something I have been trying to do before I even joined google.
The June 20th, 2022 episode of This Week In Cloud (TWIC) was the first piece of work I got to help with by being that week's host. TWIC is a show where we, "serve you the lowest latency news." Or, rather we tell you the news of Goggle Cloud over the past few weeks.
In that episode, I discussed:
- Calculating trillions of digits of pi
- Web-GL Maps
- Machine Learning acceleration
Have a watch and let me know what you think of my first go and maybe my swank Google accessibility shirt.

I'll be recording another episode of TWIC this week so keep an eye out on my twitter and other socials for it in a week or so (video productions takes time).
Google Cloud Armor, New Red Pin on Maps, & more!
I've been putting in 20% of my time at work with a team that creates content to teach and discuss [Google Cloud Tech](https://cloud.google.com). For that reason you can hear me on previous episodes of the [Google Cloud Reader podcast](https://cloud.google.com/podcasts/cloud-reader) and see me in an earlier episode of [This Week in Cloud](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIivdWyY5sqIxUCyOq0-FPNn5GZ2-XR45). However, last week I've changed teams and am now on the Developer Media Network team 100%. This is my first video since I started.
Here to bring you the latest news in the Cloud is Daryl Ducharme.

Sunday Funnies - Are you pondering what I'm pondering.
A little blast from my past. Pinky and the Brain montage of the "Are you pondering what I'm pondering" responses.

Its funny 'cause its true
So I have been an avid Adobe user for quites some time now. I've been using their tools for many years and, even though I'm not much of an artist, I've been known to use Photoshop from time to time. So when I saw someone link a video that said "Fotoshop by Adobé" I had to check it out. Even if it was bad, being an Adobe nerd I might get a chuckle or two.

Turns out the video is quite funny. It seems to parody every personal beauty advertisement I can ever remember seeing. Everything from eyelashes to cheesey animations explaining how it smooths away wrinkles. And yes, Fotoshop by Adobé can seemingly do it all.

In all seriousness what's most funny about this video is that it is true. Photoshop by Adobe does skew our idea of what natural, normal, sexy and beautiful is. Since it takes a computer program, it turns out these images are neither natural nor normal. However, breaking through that psychological barrier of created reality might turn out to be a real tough nut to crack.
And if you would like to see the behind the scenes video, I found that too. [vimeo 34793617 w=400 h=225]

Mock GOP Cyber Debate
As we enter the 2012 election year, we can already see things heating up on the political front. What does that mean fothe rest of us? Lots of great humor will be coming out over the next year that will have us LOLing and ROFLing.

In the tradition of election year politcal humor, Funny or Die along with Yahoo have put together a Mock Cyber debate among the Republican contenders. All the candidates are played by some well named comedians or former boxer turned reality star.
I'll be the first to admit that this humor is heavy handed and a bit childish but it is also quite funny. This is a long-ish video but don't start watching then quit once you get the gist. The jokes get better as the "debate" progresses. Plus, if you stop watching you'll miss the cherry on top ending - Obama's response.
I'm somewhat political by nature, in that I take politics fairly seriously. However, it is just as important to laugh every once in a while as it is to take the actual politics seriously. Enjoy, and let me know what you think in the comments.
Resolutions and Chimp Magic
As we end 2011 one of my resolutions is to once again re-acquaint myself with the magical arts. In the past year I haven't really been practicing at all. At the same time, early last year there was a joke where I mentioned the phrase "Magician 24/7" and it turned into a thing that led to the picture you see at the top of this article. On the other hand I learned a lot about how I can be practice that will bring the joy back into magic. I got this insight from my study of improvisational comedy.

What does this mean? It means in the coming year I am going to attempt a regular magic vidcast called JAMM Live. Where as the posts on my blog have the meaning of JAMM be Just Another Magic Monday the JAMM in JAMM Live will stand for Just Another Magic Meeting. This is because I don't believe Mondays will be a good day for me to do these on any sort of regular basis. I will figure it out in the next few weeks so keep an eye out for the vidcast. Also, look for more, regular JAMM posts on Mondays for this blog.
[ad#Ellusionist]What about the fun? Well, since I am known for my interest in magic I do get interesting videos sent to me from time to time. So this week I leave you with a bit of Chimp Magic. This guy really blows the socks off of a chimp who just loves his act. Given that chimps process things differently than us, and as such don't have the same expectations, that is pretty dang cool. Enjoy... the chimp did.

For those who don't see the connection of the video and my point on resolutions, remember that 2011 was the year that Rise of the Planet of the Apes was redone. Just kidding, just bringing the fun back to magic. Do you have any fun magic you'd like to share. Let me know in the comments below.
Billy Quan - Enter the New Year
This episode of Mind Your Manners features Billy (played by Darrell Suto) getting ready for a New Year's Eve party. Suddenly a party crasher (John Keister) comes along and ruins his party before it even starts. Billy then proceeds to teach him some manners, Billy Quan Style.
My Sunday Funnies posts are usually posted, you guessed it, on Sundays. However, with January 1st being on a Sunday I decided to post an early version of the post as a New Year's service announcement.
I have posted a few things from Almost Live! in the past. With 2012 being the year of the dragon (or at least it will be on January 23rd) I thought I'd provide the message via a psuedo-Chinese themed skit they often did on the show, Mind Your Manners with Billy Quan.
