Is there still anyone in need for a Google Wave invite? Seems like Google gave me some, so I'd be glad to spend them to anyone. First come, first served.

Somehow the last two weeks it seemed like the hype is already over... haven't noticed any questions for invites on Twitter or something. Anyhow, Wave is quite cool, so if you want to check it out just let me know.

I don't want to start a flame war here between smokers and non-smokers, really. Of course I know that I am not allowed to say anything against cigarettes in this world though, right? ;-)

Anyway. You all read some news about Apple not repairing a smoker's Mac, right? I only have one single question about all those news these days: Why the heck is everyone talking about "permission to smoke in front of your Mac", instead of focusing on the damage of the machines the news were about? All magazines and all blog articles mention the damage, but then ask for terms and conditions for smokers which just isn't the point here. The point is that smoking in this cases caused self-imposed damage, not that people aren't allowed to smoke any more.

The problem's the damage. Not the permission to smoke. The damage. Goddammit. Damage! Smoke as much as you want, as long as I don't have to buy your smelly, yellowed Mac afterwards ;-)

Now this one is funny. My intention was to show you how much I paid for Wing Commander 3 in 1995 and I almost missed the funny "name" at the bottom.

And yes, it has been very expensive for 1995, too. Don't know why I spent that much money on that game, but when thinking about it - it's been absolutely worth it!

So thanks to http://dac-xp.com/ I'm activated for Google Wave now. I so much wanted this but... and now? Don't know what to do with it without having any friends activated for it too. Doesn't anyone want to make my buddy Ulf and me a present and send him an invite too, so I can really try it out? I assume there isn't anyone out there able to give another invite, as Google is not giving out any new ones these days, right? A bummer.

Anyhow - anyone having an account too and want to connect? Just let me know!
