Another Quiet Day

Not much happening around here today. We played some pool (Ken whupped me), and I went for a short walk. We did some research and made a reservation for a campground near Georgetown, TX, where we expect to stay November 29 (now that's advance planning). It's called Berry Springs RV Park, and sounds like the sort of place we might want to stay a week at, but we'll actually just spend the night, since we'll be making tracks for the Rio Grande Valley. It's an Escapees discount park and the very first one we've encountered that offers complimentary laundry facilities.

Chris invited me to try out Google Wave, which is in limited release while it's being tested. It's billed as a "an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration." The demos look very interesting, but unless you're doing collaborative work with documents and visuals, it may not be very useful. It was very cool to be able to drag a photo into a conversation and have it just appear there. I could see using it as an enhanced instant messaging system, but it doesn't have some of the very positive features of IM--like, for example, a useful alert to tell you that something has been added by another person.
