**Thanks for the comments, all are given out.
The advantage of having a total geek for a husband is that he got in on the first group of people in the developer sandbox when wave opened. I had to wait two weeks to get my invite from him. It looks like they’re running this the same way as the early Gmail invites, so I find myself with a few extras that I can give away.
So here’s the deal. Leave me a comment, giving me the best reason why you should get a wave invite and I’ll randomly pick one person each day until my invites run out. This will require you using a valid email in the comment form so I have a way of contacting you. (people should know that, but as a mom, I have the need to state the obvious sometimes.) I believe I have around 10 to give out as of today.
When the invites arrive, you can start with this wave (This link is a wave, if you don’t have access you can check their site here as well). That’s Everything’s Shiny, the resource my hubby put together, it’s got all the basic questions and a load of information to get you started. Go there even if I didn’t send you an invite and you have access to waves, because there are a bunch of cool people there figuring out how this stuff works.
As the post below shows, I can nab live feeds on my phone. Yeah for ubergeekiness! I’m probably going to be making use of it during Dragon Con, as well as taking a ton of pics. I’m still partial to my camera vs the one in the phone, because of the quality, but I’m sure I’m going to be snapping both along the way.
Now I have to remember to carry my charger for the phone as well as all the other stuff I usually carry around with me, the knitting may have to take a back seat on this round. I’m hoping that taking the weekend away from the house is going to give my hand a rest. I’m still dealing with the pinched nerve, and yes I am still knitting and doing other stuff that I probably shouldn’t, but I have to get this stuff done.
The guys from Google are really cool (not just because they bought a round of drinks and had the meeting in a kick ass sushi bar).
Healthy competition in the market (regardless of what market) is a good thing. It encourages innovation and benefits everyone.
Sometimes people don’t have complex motives, they just want to simplify the way that we have to deal with things.
If someone gives you all the ingredients to make the world’s greatest cake, they shouldn’t be expected to advertise it for you. If you create something that is a good product, people will find it and use it.
Be honest about what you know. More importantly, be honest about what you don’t know, but point people in the right direction to find the answers they need.
There are times when doing something for the right reasons outweighs doing something for a profit.
Broadcasting how great you are can only get you so far. Engaging in a dialog and proving that you know what you’re talking about is much more valuable in the long run.
The net is going to change. Communication and sharing information is going to change. Get ready to deal with the future now, because it’s going to happen whether you’re ready or not.
