Farewell Google Wave (For Now)
Google announced on it's blog this afternoon that the Google Wave project will be, for the most part, disbanded. Google says the site will be maintained for at least the rest of the year but they won't be continuing development.
You can read the full article from Google here.
To me, this is a huge disappointment but I can understand where they're coming from. Wave is a user driven project and without a respectable sized user base, the project can't meet it's full potential. This seems to be what has happened, and as a result, the project must be put on hold or disbanded entirely.
I don't think it will be for good though. My thought is that Google was simply ahead of it's time with this project and eventually will become the norm, whether it be with Wave or another similar service. The concept of Wave a marvel of modern communication.

Congrats Shaftesbury High!
I'd like to offer a big congratulations to the grads of Shaftesbury High School!
I was commissioned to create a video slide show of their dinner and safe grad and, I have to say, it was a great time. All of the parents, teachers, and students involved deserve a lot of credit as I think the night was a huge success. Also, being a part of my own grad committee a few years back, I know that there is a ton of work involved to make something like that happen.
Even though it was a pretty big job on a fairly tight schedule, I'm very happy with the result and I hope the students, staff and parents enjoy it as well.
