I just recently wrangled my way onto Google Wave and, well, there’s not a whole lot of folks to talk with as of yet, since invites are so scarce. However, I’ve a total of four Wave invites sitting in my Inbox, waiting for disbursal.

So, the first four people that either follow me on Twitter (@zamoose) and/or are able to guess what Weird Al song I’m thinking of right now get an invite.

Caveats:

  1. Once you’ve followed, leave a comment on this post so that I can send your invite to the appropriate email address.
  2. It’ll be a subjective thing, but if it seems like you’re a spammer or a very new account on Twitter, I’ll give you a pass on the invite.

Posted because hey, maybe everyone else needs a nice pick-me-up too.

Thank heavens Chevy Chase has gone back to being funny in “Community”. I was worried about him for a while there.

I offer no explanation, nor do I offer an apology, for I have neither.

Star Wars: Uncut Trailer

“StarWarsUncut.com

Fans from around the world are joining forces to recreate the classic, Star Wars: A New Hope.

The entire movie is split up into 15 second scenes. Claim a scene, film it, and upload it! When it’s all done, it’ll be stitched together so we can watch the magic happen.”

Awesome.

Yes, I know, as a former Minnesotan, those words were unlikely to escape my lips, but just look at “Crash for Clunkers”:
