I want a Google Wave to email bridge

Google Wave gives you a username in the form of username@googlewave.com. It looks like an email address, so I tried sending an email to mine. This is what I got back:

What happens when I email this?

Maybe in the future this will be a wave to email bridge. In the mean time, there should at least be a more helpful bounce message.

No beep in Karmic

In the midst of upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10, this showed up:

Replace the customized configuration file ‘/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf’?

Difference between the files:
-# Disable the annoying beep
+# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone’s nerves; this should be done by a
+# nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
blacklist pcspkr

Finally!

I ran across this the other day:

Basil prices

Two dollars worth of basil from the grocery store (left) and from a local farm (right):

That’s $50/lb from the grocery store and $5/lb from the farm.

Idiot driver

1. Car speeds up next to me in the lane for oncoming traffic.
2. Car changes lanes into me, pushing me into the parking lane.
3. I wave my hands like a fool, wishing I had a car horn. (Though at this point a sledge hammer would have been more satisfying.)
4. I skid to a stop behind a parked car and then merge back into traffic.

Watch out for stupid people.
