Public information: If multiple columns confuse and frighten you (or if you're hit by the bug where part of one gets cut off), here's how to go back to a single column.

Also, feedback can be given through a subtle link at the bottom of the left-side bar that comes out when you hover over the big red G+.

#GooglePlus  pro tip: The new multi-column layout is cool, but if you find it too visually overwhelming, you can easily switch back to the single column view:

1) Click "More" on the grey navigation bar up near the top, below the search bar.

2) At the very bottom of the menu, below "Stream layout", click on the right button.

    Ugh. I hope they improve this soon. The single-column layout has way too much white space, and the two column layout is a bad fit for my G+ reading habits. I guess I'll go back to Google Reader. Oh, wait.

    I get three columns, which is a confusing mess, or the single column, which is a sorry sight.

    Three columns means I have no idea what I've read or not, simply can't keep track of it.
    One column is still the same width, which looks ridiculous. I'm seriously considering hacking some custom RSS, this is near unusable. Sigh.

#Security weirdness of the day: I followed a link to #Instagram, and it told me they'd noticed an unusual login. Now I hardly ever log in to Instagram, so I imagine any login would be tagged as unusual. But this login - which blocked me from viewing a public post until I answered whether it was me or not - was from two months ago. I have no idea if I logged in then. I might have, for whatever reason, but who remembers where they log in for several months? Not I. The follow-up page had me change my password, without any other kind of challenge. I got a mail afterwards, but seriously, that's some weird shit.

If only the sun flares in my photos were this impressive. Originally shared by Astronomy Picture of the Day (APoD) A Solar Filament Erupts Image Credit: NASA 's GSFC, SDO AIA Team https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180916.html What's happened to our Sun? Nothing very unusual -- it just threw a filament. Toward the middle of 2012, a long standing solar filament suddenly erupted into space producing an energetic Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The filament had been held up for days by the Sun's ever changing magnetic field and the timing of the eruption was unexpected. Watched closely by the Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, the resulting explosion shot electrons and ions into the Solar System, some of which arrived at Earth three days later and impacted Earth's magnetosphere, causing visible aurorae. Loops of plasma surrounding an active region can be seen above the erupting filament in the featured ultraviolet image. Although the Sun is now in a relatively inactive state ...
