Google Wave Addendum. [ Tuesday, October The 20th, 11:07 pm ]
  It occurred to me after my post a few days ago.
Google Wave / Google Wave invites are not like a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket,
or a Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring

It's actually more akin to something else entirely:

Will Journal for Google Wave invite. [ Friday, October The 16th, 11:40 pm ]
[ mood | sick ]

When they first came out two weeks ago I read of Google Wave invites being compared to Willy Wonka's Golden ticket:


Aside of the pomp of the thing, that's obviously an overstated amusement. There were 5 of those ... and much sawed after.
Unless it's wildly unsuccessful, Google Wave is likely to be free in a matter of time. Though I request my invite sometime this summer (July?), and I'm still waiting ... every time I check my mail I keep thinking maybe today's the day, more like this:

0111010001110010001011100110100101101101001011110110001001110011011101000110010001101111
... well at least I haven't had to drink gallons of Ovaltine (yet?).


If it doesn't go without saying if you find yourself in possession of an access Google Wave invite(s) which you don't know quite what to do with, I won't mind unburdening you of it(them‽) .

A reminder of history, though not exactly the same thing, but one which gave me my LJ-code is adored, honored, and attended even now years later. I believe this is happenstance/coincidence, but there's likely gratitude/appreciation to be had either way.

DUCK & COVER! [ Tuesday, July The 7th, 6:15 pm ]
... passing by the television earlier today. Then I hear the NBC breaking news theme, dum-dutta-dum-dutta-dum.
I think it's like some crazy pavlovian or skinner-esque reflex I picked up from 2001,
but every time I hear that. It's just long enough to go:
"WHAT'S WRONG!?!"
"HAVE THE TERRORIST ATTACKED US?"
"HAVE THEY BOMBED A CITY?"
"IS THE BOMB ABOUT TO HIT?"
" ARE WE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"

Then I flashback to this horrible thing. Some of the feel-good hight-lights being:
• If you can somehow know the blast is coming, look away and/or close your eyes, Otherwise you'll go blind.
• Open your mouth, so the sound won't ¿burst? your ear drums and make you deaf.
• If you can move get up wind from the blast zone, so you won't get caught in the fallout.

After I have a good two seconds to panic. Then logic returns to me, and I recall how many times over the past eight years they've abused that overstated theme, and it inevitably ends up being. Something like,
"The word coming into the news room, reports that Barack Obama has sneezed!
I repeat Barack Obama has sneezed"

or
"President Bush has mispronounced something!".

Today was worse than a nuclear blast though, they were having a memorial concert, apparently Michael Jackson died?!?!
(twelve days ago)
Why had I not been told about this?!?
About an hour or so later they were still covering it, somebody said all the networks were. I didn't hear any music other than the fore-mention, I think that actually comes later this evening. This was a pre-show memorial sort of thing. Apparently Michael Jackson's body be there too from what I've read. How lovely!
In attendance will be a who's who of stars and musicians (many who wouldn't have touched him with a 10' pole a month ago)

It's a good thing the news media, focus on what's important, otherwise who knows what evil-do-ers could get away when people weren't looking.

Law -- It's subjective. [ Saturday, June The 6th, 2:35 pm ]
I have a problem with this --
Calif. man gets death sentence in 5 arson murders
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — A convicted arsonist was sentenced to death Friday for setting a Southern California wildfire that killed five federal firefighters struggling to defend a rural home from raging, wind-driven flames.
I'm not a great fan of the death penalty to begin with, but this is bullshit. Arson isn't a nice, good, or commendable action; but to fudge the rules and meaning of things is dangerous, perhaps more so than the actions of someone like an arsonist.

This is not first degree murder. This implies intent. He intended to start a big freaking fire. People were harmed as a consequence. He didn't target them or anyone specifically. Of course the language of the law is open enough to interpret this in such a way that this can fit.
