E-mail, instant messaging, wikis and blogs. All of them are about to be revolutionized by Google Wave.
I am amazed. I cannot wait to start collaborating across the web using wave. Being a web citizen is about to get much better!
Who will be the first to write an Adobe Air API for wave? 
Check out this cool video from the BaaStuds!
Happy St Patricks Day everyone, or Happy Maewyn Day if you’re a purist
I hope everyone had a great day. St Patricks day is one of those days that has universal appeal with everyone, regardless of whether they are Irish or not. Kinda like Christmas
I’ve always loved haikus. That’s why I was so stoked when I came across this collection of gems. The world would be a better place if we responded to questions with haikus all the time
Quoted from original post: Haikus for a Dangerous World
I just finished teaching my first class on 3-D cinematography. For the final, I gave the students the option to answer 2 extra credit questions. Here’s the second one.
“A velociraptor is coming at you on a hoverboard. In a haiku, describe how you will survive.”
Some selected responses:
Shit Christopher Lloyd!
Back in the DeLorean!
This sequel will suck!I use sticky web
Like Spidy and Green Goblin.
Take down that raptor.Screaming to trees,
I’m not that good of a treat.
I have many fleas.I would climb high
above the sharp reptile beast
and kick its face in.Calmly explain that
he is an anachronism.
Then watch him die.
If you’re anything like me, you’re now wondering what ‘anachronism’ means.
Here, let me Google that for you
Here are a couple of snaps I took this afternoon while hanging out with some of my SmallWorlds Friends. Mysterio’s is a great place to come and hang out because there’s always plenty of magic handy
If I had to pick one thing I love most about SmallWorlds, I’d have to say the variety.
I love how different and colorful everyone looks. Having loads of
cool spells on hand helps too
I came across a couple of Microsoft Word tips today which I found really handy. Hopefully you will too
You can easily change the default blue color of Office 2007 to either silver of black. To do this, click on the ‘Office Button’ (the pearl in the top left) and then click on ‘Word Options’ in the bottom right of the menu that opens. I changed my Word to black which looks better with the default Windows Vista Theme.
You can hide the ribbon bar by double clicking on the current selected tab at the top. Once the ribbon is hidden, a single click on the menu bar will open the ribbon bar temporarily, or double clicking again will show it permanently again. I find this to be a great way to save on vertical screen real estate when working on my laptop which has a smaller screen.
Do you have any tips which are better than mine? Let’s hear it in the comments.
A few days ago I was asked this question via a previous blog post:
Hello,
Came to this blog searching for a specific issue, which might be nothing for you guys, but have been hitting head for almost two days now.
I have a DataGrid of numbers. All I want to do is that when a mouse rolls over a specific cell, that cell gets highlighted with say, green color, not the whole row.
I have not gotten past this, but as a next step would like to increase the font of the text in that cell as well.. so to emphasize it.
I will appreciate any help or pointers in the right direction.

I responded with a brief explanation at the time, but this afternoon I decided to see if I could whip up an example application showing how this could be done. I managed to come up with some code that is both quite simple and reusable. You can check out my demo application here.

Randall Munroe has once again demonstrated his mastery of wit with his latest xkcd comic. This one made me laugh out loud for several minutes
Last week, Robert Scoble interviewed SmallWorlds co-founder Mitch Olson and discussed some of the revolutionary features which have been built into SmallWorlds. The interview covers a very good overview of SmallWorlds as a platform and covers features such as:
I always marvel at all the ways new content is being created for the web. A few days ago my boss twittered a picture with me in it. I never would have known if CJ hadn’t told me
