@shoq No, not really.
Random things I noticed going to work this morning:
* There are recycling bins everywhere! Where are these every other day of the year?
* No traffic noise = I can keep my tunes quieter = better hearing health.
* Traffic seems no worse than usual.
In fact I don't think my step-dad would have met them either. He would now, but only because he got educated and trained in his specific profession in the UK.
dumb dream I just had
It was like one of those short promotional behind the scenes videos with clips interspersed with interviews.
They were making a modern day reboot movie of I.M. Weasel. The segment was about I.R. Baboon’s new backstory as an outcast, shunned by other baboons not for wearing clothes, but for his poor posture—which was described as “fish back.”
I.R. Baboon was voiced by Hank Azaria doing the Moe Syzlack voice.
Also they were rebooting Dexter’s Laboratory but in this one Dee Dee was also a genius with a secret lab; but still had an antagonistic relationship with Dexter because the type of science she did was “girly.”

People who don’t know the technical aspects of how websites work shouldn’t be involved in specifying functionality for them. Yeah, your fancy form dialog selection screen thing is nice, but it’s also five to twelve hours more work than this perfectly viable other option that does exactly the same thing. :|
Some bits have gotten better (the new input style = good improvement), some bits remain pretty bad (FABs = terrible UX), and I know the system is intended as a themeable baseline—my complaint is mainly with how Google themselves have implemented it.
