Back then, I was really only using messaging as a real-time way to keep up with friends, chat with [...]

Poor Glass Joe. He sometimes deserves better than to be the defacto Easy mode for Punch-Out players everywhere. Anyway, those of you who might not be aware, should probably pay attention to recent cellphone commercials from Verizon.

A little while back an old friend of mine from my anime convention planning days managed to get her hands on a bunch of invites for Google Wave, the new hotness that Google folks are touting as the next generation in communication and collaboration.
