I remember when I first heard about
Wave - a new product from internet giant Google. After watching the promotional video and reading about what all it would do I was excited lol. No more having to always sit in meetings that took 3 weeks to schedule because everyone who needed to attend are so busy. I believe Shené and I have perfected the use of the video chat to conduct meetings as needed between us and BLAKstar staff but we always had something missing. We needed an afforable (if not free) interactive application or software, where we could change the document or whatever we were working on in real time and all those with access to the chat could as well.
Google Wave was what we had been looking for - that and much more. It hooked us in with it's promises of real time editing features for what you were working on as well as it recorded everything with in the video chat so that people who could not make it to the scheduled meeting could come back hit play and watch what they missed, then add notes, changes, updates and their own video message and it would be there for everyone to see. Exciting right? Sadly it wasn't the easiest thing to do. The navigation of the application wasn't the easiest and getting it to do what it said it would proved to be frustrating at times. It was a great thought and I think someone will actually make this happen but the question is who? Facebook?

(CNN) -- Google this week abandoned "Wave," its much-hyped social collaboration tool. Wave was perhaps the prototypical Google product: Technically advanced, incredibly ambitious and near-impossible to use.
Its demise is the canary in the coal mine for Google's social networking plans: Facebook is destined to build the Web's next wave, as Google continues to tread water.
Wave was a testament to Google's technical prowess: A real-time communication platform that combined elements of instant messaging, e-mail and collaboration software. The only problem: With its many dials and switches, mastering Wave was the web equivalent of programming your VCR.

People always wonder when is the right age to begin teaching their children certain things. I am a firm believer that in many cases the earlier the better. Such is the case of 3 year old Alesaundra Tafoya of Northern California. She was home with her father when he, as she put it was "frozen" and would not wake. Her parents had been teaching about safe havens and places she could go for help or that were safe in her neighborhood if something was wrong. When her father had took a wrong dose of medication and would not wake up she walked two blocks to the fire station she had seen many times on her way home.

On this date in 1920 the Tennessee General Assembly became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, thus making it official. Few folks remember, however, that the historic ratification occurred by just one single vote, a man, of course, in those days. It was Harry T. Burn, a lawyer and later a banker. He had settled on his opposition to this suffrage nonsense.
