My wife and are are checked into our hotel in San Francisco. Tomorrow begins Google I/O 2009 at the Moscone Center West in San Francisco. I'm quite looking forward to two days of Google Developer Goodness. I'm hoping that we'll learn about a lot of great new updates to Google APIs and developer tools, and of course, I haven't forgot about my prediction that Google Chrome will get Extensions at Google I/O. I'm a little more cautious about saying that for sure, but I'm still pretty optimistic that it will happen, or at least we'll get some sort of time table as to when we will.

Earlier this month, I wrote about tracking mentions of yourself on twitter more completly then just checking the @replies tab on twitter (or in tweetdeck). Keeping tabs on what people say about you in twitter is only one step in effectively tracking references to yourself online.
So here's step 2, if you want to really know what people are saying about you online, take the search a step furthe

For the second year in a row, my wife and I participated in Earth Hour. At 8:30 I hit the main breaker in our apartment shutting everything down for an hour. During that time we read together by candlelight and reflected on just how much energy we use on a day to day basis. It was amazing to us how quiet it was without the ambient hum of electronics running, serving our whims, and it was humbling to think how hard it seemed to read by candlelight and how much we rely on technology for every aspect of our lives.

That's right, I said it, and so far I'm the only one who has. Google has announced that extensions are coming to Google Chrome but have been mum on when. However I saw something today, that indicates the timetable may be short. Google officially opened up registration for Google I/O 2009, their third annual (first one was just called Google Developer Day) Developer's Conference.
Like last year, it will take place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Along with the open pre-registration, they've also posted a list of Sessions (subject to change). High up on the list is a session entitled "Developing extensions for Google Chrome" which contains the following description:
Learn how Google Chrome makes it easy to write extensions using the web technologies you already know. This talk will cover the basics of the extension system (distribution/packaging, installation, updates), as well as the different APIs to enhance with the browser.
I'd say this is a safe bet that if Extensions are not released BEFORE Google I/O, then they will be released as a new feature AT Google I/O. Extensions are coming, but what about Mac Support?

Ok, I admit it, I haven't been a subscriber to PC World magazine in a few years, even before I became a member of the Mac camp, but I'm really excited to say that a couple interview questions with me are now published in PC World! in an article about Google I/O.

Google is following it's trend from last year's Google Developer Day by posting up videos of all of the sessions on YouTube, but so far I can only find the Opening Keynote. They promised that they would upload them all within a week, so expect more parts of my reviews of Google I/O as they become available.

This week I, as well as my Wife Barbara, and my co worker Dan, went to Google I/O. People who have read my blog for a while may remember that last year I attended Google Developer Day around this same time in San Jose. This year Google decided to expand from a single day to a whole two-day tech conference and move it to the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
