Google Wave

Just a quick one today. Yesterday I received my invitation to Google Wave, and while I’m still figuring out how it works, I think it might have potential for communication between multiple parties on a particular topic. An ongoing group chat/email if you will.

It seems that when you join you are given eight invitations to give out. I have given two away already and am keeping a few in reserve for family/friends for now. I do however have two Google Wave invites that I am giving away. Contact me either via this site or my twitter account @fotofugitive and leave your email address if you are interested. I will choose two people to receive the invitations. Good luck!

Just a quick one today folks. First up, above is the monthly wallpaper for December. It’s an image of Buddhist Monks’ Robes drying in the sun in a temple complex in Luang Prabang, Laos. There are three sizes available. Clicking on the image will take you to the 1280 x 800 version. Other sizes are below:

December Wallpaper: 1440 x 900
December Wallpaper: 1920 x 1200

In other news, I head to the airport in about four hours for a week-long trip to the Central Coast and Sydney. The reasons for my trip are twofold:

One of my best mates is graduating with his degree in Primary Education this weekend. We’re very proud of him, and I’ll take any excuse to hang out with great friends that I don’t get to see nearly enough of ;-)

I will be talking to Church leaders and promoting Metamorphic’s Water4Water events that we plan to hold in the lead up to World Water Day in 2010. We’re basically encouraging people to hold a BBQ or party with 20 of their friends. Each attendee pays $20 and gets a bottle of Water4Water branded water which will provide 4 people in developing countries with fresh water for life. We hope to get 20 Churches on board in Australia, each holding 20 parties of 20 people $20pp, and 10 Churches doing the same in the UK. If we can achieve this goal, this initiative will raise close to a quarter of a million dollars for our water projects. You can follow @Water_4_Water on twitter.

I’ll be back next Wednesday. Incidentally, if you’re so inclined, you can follow my travel plans on Dopplr.

Have a safe and happy December everyone. I’ll be in touch.
