Google Wave to be Released

Author Thomas | 29.09.2009 | Category Software, Web

Google Wave is set for release tomorrow to 100,000 lucky testers.

Like 100,000 Golden Tickets awaiting to be sent to the lucky winners who will find in their email inboxes tomorrow an invitation to the revolutionary new service/product.

Google Wave will combine in-a-sense, email, instant messaging, blogging, sharing, etc.  Email will work much more like a conversation.

A ten minute demo of wave from the developer tool:

From the Developer Conference (the long video):

Hopefully, we’ll all get one of the Golden Ticket invites to start testing, exploring, and enjoying Google Wave.

New Leather Composition Notebook from Rustic River Leather

Author Thomas | 19.06.2009 | Category Accessories

I find myself taking notes on just about everything.  I’ll grab receipts, scraps of paper, etc. to write down very important things…and then…I lose the paper.  Who’d-a-thunk?

A while back, I started using portfolio pads, and they were great except for the paper flipped vertically and it was hard to look up notes when you used both sides.

Now I’m exploring a whole new frontier in notetaking…an actual notebook!  And if you’re going to get a notebook, get one with style!

We got the Leather Composition Notebook by Rustic River Leather, and it’s great.

The notebook is actually a leather cover that is refillable.  The refills can be picked up for a couple bucks or less and are standard-sized.

Below is a picture of the composition notebook refill.  You can pick them up at Wal-mart, Amazon, or just about any office/stationary supply store:

What’s great about this is that it can be used over and over again (won’t fill up).

Video demo:

The leather is very thick and rustic. Hope to get a lot of use out of this one and hopefully save all those scraps of paper from suffering untimely loses!

Who’d have thunk a  Leather Notebook could be so cool!
