Coming out of Twitter retirement to share the exciting news that Google #EarthEngine is now generally available to governments and businesses worldwide as an enterprise-grade Google Cloud service focused on climate & sustainability. @googleearth blog.google/products/earth/i…
Excitement is mounting as everyone's arriving for the 2018 Earth Engine User Summit, here at the Google office in Dublin! #eeus18

Getting ready to give a tech talk. Curious to see who all shows up this time! Also, sad that this won't automatically cross-post to Google+!
Super excited about diving into fifteen hours of opera with @caryrosko this week! Brushing up on Das Rheingold now. This should be amazing!
Check out the Google doodle now for live imagery of the lunar eclipse! (Thanks @slooh for the imagery!) google.com/

Delicious afternoon on the farm, surrounded by chickens, eating amazing food. Baby chicks! #saturdaysupperings twitpic.com/5aboa6
Very lovely long weekend with family and old friends. Sad to leave, but now looking forward to an entire month at home without travel!
Wow, mentioning an iPhone in a tweet causes twitter spammer bots to send “personal” responses. WEAK.
Now that I'm back in the US, finally taking Google Music Beta out for a spin. The end of my iPhone is nigh.
After about 44 hours of travel, home at last. Sleep is going to be so good right now.
Ah yes, now the volcano erupted. And this afternoon's Frankfurt->SFO flight path goes directly over iceland. Fingers crossed....
Well, Italy wants us to stay: flight home cancelled due to technical difficulties, no more flights today, try again tomorrow.
Sad to be saying goodbye to Rome — Italy, we hardly knew ye. Starting the long journey back to SF now.
Said goodbye to Florence this morning, now arrived safely in Rome. Ridiculous old stuff replaced by ridiculous even older stuff.
Arrived safely in Firenze after 20 hours of relatively straightforward travel. Sleep soon, then the real fun begins tomorrow!
Emails sent, vacation autoresponder set, changelists submitted... we're off to Italy! This should be fun.
