Waving from a Wave with my Wave.

So I was reading the Google Wave Blog when I saw a link about 6 Google Wave "Game Changing" features. Of course I had to read the article.

My God... It's full of Chrome!

I've been using Google's browser Chrome for a few weeks now. And other than the occasional "this page don't werk rite" moment I've been very pleased. It doesn't have all the addons that Firefox has (yet) but it's very fast. Not only fast to load pages, but fast to load in general. It has two features that I really like and use often.

The first is the ability to "pin" webpages on the tab bar. What this does is make the tab smaller so that only the favicon shows up. This frees up precious tab space when you've got your favorite pages open all the time (read: Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Wave, etc).

The second feature allows you to create a "program shortcut" out of a webpage. For example, if you wanted a link that went directly to your Gmail, you can make a shortcut on your desktop, quick launch or start menu. When you start it up chrome creates a window just for that page, sans navigation bar and option menus.

It feels like I'm living in the cloud already.

Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain

I put a Twitter gadget on my blog. It is not my timeline. It is someone elses timeline. That is all.

You're in for a Surprise!

At the Target that I currently am employed at there is a team member (read: employee) only bathroom in the front of the store. Now this bathroom is for boys and girls and of course it locks from the inside and usually smells like poop, which is good because if other parts of the store smelled like poop we'd have issues.

Anyway, on several occasions while I was making a deposit someone came up the door, I'm sure with the intention of using it, and turned the handle followed by a knock. I of course did not respond and they were on their way.

First of all, why knock at all? You already turned the handle, you'd be half way into the bathroom by the time the knock was over. Also, what am I suppose to do? "Hello!" "Come in!" "Sorry! Making Fudge!"

Secondly, I never knock. I turn the handle, if the door doesn't open I know either someone is in there dropping off the kids, or the door is broken and I can't go in anyway. I have decided though that one day, if I go to open the door and it does open and there is someone using the bathroom I'm going to yell "SURPRISE!" and close the door real fast. I don't have to worry, because if they shit themselves they're already in the bathroom.
