Riding the Wave

The great Google Overlords have decided to smile down on me and bestow upon my inbox a wonderful invitation to Google Wave.  So here is a quick run down on the new Wave. I Love It. This product has such a cool and unique concept to it that could only be brought to life by the creative geniuses at Google. Imagine taking all the amazing aspects of Email, Instant Messaging, online widgets, and file sharing, roll it into one and to quote Geico make it so easy to use a cave man could do it.

Earlier today I was having a conversation with a friend of mine on Google Wave and felt like going back and commenting on something asked earlier and thanks to the split feature of Wave I was able to make my comment without interrupting the flow of our talk. Later on I was in the middle of a posting something when all of a sudden my friend posted up a Suduko game right inside of our talk. I will continue to post little things about Wave as it travels through its Beta life and hopefully end up as an open product to revolutionize our way of communicating.

Bedstand Bible

This is a post from Professor Richard Wiseman's Blog. I Found this idea very interesting and feel like reposing it here.

"I have been traveling lots recently, and keep coming across Bibles in my hotel room.  I assume that they are there to help some people in times of need.  The idea of offering help is obviously sound, but I do worry that perhaps there is a more effective and inclusive way of doing it…..so, what book would you like to see in every hotel room in the world?  How do you react to the Bible in hotel rooms?  Would you keep the Bible or replace it with something else?"

Personally I feel that its time we changed things up a bit. Take them out of the hotel bed stand and put them behind the room service desk, if people want them they can still get them but instead of putting them in every room let guests ask for them if they want one. By placing them in the rooms it is in a way imposing a religion many don't agree with on the patrons paying for a room for the night. I say take the black book out, but leave the yellow pages in, now that is something people could have a real use for.
