Got my ears lowered Thursday, June 18th, 2009 by Kim
So, I chopped 10 inches of my hair off! Woo hoo! I had been planning to donate it for a while, but Saturday I just couldn’t take it any longer. I called up a rando place & walked out an hour later with a new bob…a really poofy bob actually. Nothing my little chi couldn’t handle though. It’s still shocking me when I catch a glimpse of myself in a window or something, and I’m getting used to lots of honest comments about it! Yesterday someone said, “You look evennn youngerrrr!” Me: “yeahh” Them: “Not bad though”. Thanks. At least it’s not bad, right? haha Haircut comments are always funny. I like when people ask if I just got too hot, like a summer impulse. I mean, I was hot on Saturday, but I would have probably jumped in the pool before chopping my hair off as a first choice resolve to the heat index. My hair does grow like a weed though, so I feel like it’s my duty to grow & chop sometimes. It’s fun for me to have a change as well. -I’ll add a photo later-
I’m so ready for the weekend!!! Really, I’m ready for a whole long summer break, but I’ll gladly take a weekend!

Google Wave will take over the world Sunday, June 14th, 2009 by Nick
Ok, maybe not the world but it will definitely mark the end of email as we currently know it. Lars Rasmussen is a Google engineer who set off to create the company’s next big product. Him and his team asked themselves what email would look like if it were invented today and Google Wave is what they created, and quite honestly it looks amazing. Instead of trying to explain to you exactly what a wave is in my own words I’m going to steal a few from one of my favorite sites Lifehacker to help explain:
What is a wave?
A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
Confused? Here is the video Google released of their keynote when they revealed Google Wave to the world. It’s long but if your at all interested in the direction the internet and communication is headed in the not so distant future I promise you it is worth it. Keep in mind that this will be released to all later this year.
