It's a wave in the shape of a W. But there's more to it than that. The logo actually reflects the structure of the application.
Google Wave will succeed because it fulfills a need we're already feeding. And because its basic structure is self referential. These kind of structures are strong and adaptable.
Fractal structures succeed at every level of reality, and there is reason to believe they are reality.

Does this happen in California and not here in MY hometown?! Man, I love banana museum site.
I was innocently researching petrified bananas and found this pic here. How does that qualify as petrified? Wtf? Anyway, I have my reasons for researching petrified bananas. I do not have to explain, justify or defend.
I've been to Berkshire Bird Paradise. That's Peter Dubacher (the owner) on the left and our state wildlife pathologist, Ward Stone on the right. What Peter does is awesome- awesome enough for the New York Times (see here). If you really like birds, send him money! If you don't like birds a whole lot, at least thumbs up him on stumble or something- he needs more exposure. Kthx!
Today we went to Muddyduck Waterfowl Breeding Center. That sounds fancy, yes? It wasn't and I've been to other bird places that aren't either. It probably started with one broken duck. The guy fixed it, thought, "Hey! I'm good at ducks!" and next thing you know, his acreage is filled with netting, kiddie pools, fences and various ducks. We forgot to bring the camera so I can't show you the two most important things we saw. One was a dead fox right outside of a duck's pen. I dunno if he got shot or if the duck killed him, but I do know that I came within inches of stepping on it before I saw it. Skeevy! The other thing is that since this is a non-profit Duck World, the guy has to use whatever he can get his hands on to keep his ducks happy. That included a hot tub, sans heat. He must have scored a free one from craigslist or something. He buried it to the rim and turned it into a little duck pond. Left the faucets and tap on. Surreal Duck World. You can give them money. The have a wood duck house. You put money in the hole. It says your contribution is tax de-duck-tible!
We just got power back last night after about 24 hours. I was so excited to get back online only to find that it's actually pretty boring. We're all so used to boring now that we don't even realize it's boring. But having no electricity is even more boring. We had to do things like play cards by candlelight and go to bed early.
These are the absolute best garden gloves in existence, bar none. They're really thin so you can get a good feel for stuff but also super tough. I need new ones. Did my old ones break? No. A Girl Scout stole them. I volunteered to host Girl Scouts in the garden. Only one showed up and she was squeamish about dirt, so I let her use my good gloves. Now, I don't think she stole them on purpose. I think she forgot to take them off when she was leaving. What elevates it to stealing is the fact that her mom was with her, knows how to contact me and knows where I live. She has not returned my gloves. I thought Girl Scouts were supposed to have some fucking values. Seriously. Grrr.
