Apparently, Google Wave is supposed to transform the way we communicate. But so far, only 100,000 people get to actually check it out. If you’re like me, you’re stuck watching those hour long videos that Google posted earlier this year on what Google Wave actually sets out to do. But the videos are dry and academic. So to give you a taste of what it’s supposed to be, check out this video that dissects Google Wave.

Aside from being rather funny, the video shows the emotion of those on the outside are left feeling: I want an invite too! If Wave is anything like GMail, it’ll stay beta for a decade. Hold your horses…

Sometimes, it’s downright… cloudy… This morning, I’m making reservations for a business dinner and I pull up my trusty Google Calendar… only to see this:

So living life in the cloud has it’s drawbacks. But so far, it’s been better than having Outlook crash on me 10 times a day.
