Virtuality

Yes, finally!

just scored a Google Wave preview invite, from a colleague at work. I just have to find some time to experiment with it ASAP. I’m very curious about the possibilities and hope to also try out the iPhone app.
Hopefully Google or someone else will make it possible to run a Wave server within intranets (corporate or private). Would be even more beautiful if a “standalone” server could connect to the intertubes… Maybe finally also an opportunity to try out my VMware server farm

Mmm, too many fun things to do, try and think about

A talk by Googler Jeff Dean on various Google technologies (incl. some history) used in their scalable infrastructure. For more, search for “Seattle conference on scalability” on video.google.com.
Also has some amazing “discoveries”, like people searching for “full moon” every 28 days…

Google coach Marc Lesser talks about accomplishing more by doing less. Seems to be a good motto Some Zen-like stuff, which may help you getting more ideas and support innovation.

Very nice talk by Google CIO Douglas Merrill about innovation at Google. They really know their stuff. Video quality not too good though.
