Lloyd Dobler Rules! 20 Years?? Really??

via cinematical.com

I cannot believe it has been 20 years since "Say Anything". I don't know about you.. but I could quote the movie script ver batim! All good stuff.
That was when John Cusack and his sister were in the same movie AS brother and sister!
Ione Skye was hot and a weird sort of way?
And who could forget the song - "Joe Lies"??
The graduation party..
OH and of course his gaggle of friends that were hilarious- which included his real-life friend Jeremy Piven.
Gewd stuff.
They just don't make'em like they used to.

Google Wave- The Complete Guide

Got an interest in Google Wave but have absolutely no idea where to get started? Try out The Complete Guide to Google Wave, a new (free) book written and edited by my pal and Lifehacker emeritus Gina Trapani and yours truly.

Google Wave may not be available to everyone just yet, but there's still a lot to learn about it and not that many places to do that learning. That's where The Complete Guide to Google Wave steps in.

Wave is a young, complex, and frankly incomplete web application and technology. It's also an ambitious project that has the potential to change how we work, collaborate, and communicate on the web. That's why Gina and I decided to pour our time and attention into Google Wave and pull it all together into this book.

We're calling it a book, even though right now its content is only available on the web at completewaveguide.com. It features eight chapters and two appendices, but we're going to expand the book as Google continues to grow and expand Wave. (In fact, anyone can help us do just that by contributing to the guide.)

If you'd like a more permanent or convenient copy of the book, its first preview edition will be available for purchase as a PDF later this month, and the first edition print version will be available in January of 2010. Gina and I are planning to release four editions of the book throughout 2010 to keep up with the changing face of Wave, but the latest version of the book will always be available and free at completewaveguide.com.

Check out the book's About page for more details on our adventure in publishing (including why we're self-publishing), or just head to the home page to get started with your Wave education. For updates on book releases and various Wave tips, follow @gwaveguide on Twitter.

Note: Our server has had a little trouble keeping up with the traffic, so if you're having trouble accessing the site, try this mirror instead.

I just may have to check this out. I'm a 'waver' that is still lost.

Driving Drunk

Drowsy Driving Prevention Week: Nov. 2-8

November 2, 2009 by Marijke Durning, RN  
Filed under National _____ Month/Week/Day

Can drowsy driving be equated to drunk driving? If you look at the statistics of crashes and deaths caused by sleepy drivers and compare them with those of drunk drivers, it won’t take you long to see the similarity.

The National Sleep Foundation notes that a study in Australia compared various levels of sleepiness with blood alcohol levels and what they found may be surprising. Being awake for:

  • 18 hours equaled a blood alcohol level of 0.05
  • 24 hours equaled 0.10
  • 0.08 is considered to be the level of legally drunk

sleepcartoon_NCIt’s because of numbers like this, the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) is reminding us that November 2 through 8, 2009 is Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. The hope is that a week of awareness may help reduce the estimated 100,000 crashes, which result in more than 1,500 deaths nationwide.

How eerie.
