I found this, ahem, "sweet" little cooking hack over at http://lifehacker.com. It'll be one less thing we have to do before the party and we can amaze our guests by doing it during the party.

It's a simple process of heating your waffle iron (no matter what shape or size it might be) on high and coating it with a non-stick spray. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, spoon batter into each section of your waffle iron. This will ensure even baking and that all your cookies will finish at the same time. All that's left is to remove them from the heat and chow down!

Gina Trapani of Lifehacker has released her on-line Complete Guide to Google Wave. It is free! Soon it will be available for download in PDF. Later she plans on releasing a paper back version.

Keep in mind that this will only work with other people who also have the extension. I see enough people joining groups that want the Dislike button that I thought I'd throw this up there.

Download here: Dislike 0.2.1

Great article by LifeHacker that explains how to Customize a MediaWiki installation in such a way that it will be used as a Collaborative Web Site. I would like to implement this in an Intranet. I think that would be interesting!

It's been almost a week since Google Wave went live; we've toured Wave inside and out, tried to help folks get invites, and even pointed you to the first Google Wave search you should know. But can you use it yet?

Did You Get a Wave Invite?(polls)

So far the only people I know who've received their invites were people who were in the dev preview, people who were invited by someone at Google, and the rest of those who were part of the very early 100,000 invite pool. Which is to say, I don't believe that anyone who's been invited by another Wave user has gotten their invitation yet. I quickly sent out my Wave invites to my fellow Lifehacker editors as soon as I was in, but as of now none of them have received an invitation.

If you've gotten your Wave invite—especially if you were invited by someone who gained access to Wave just last week—tell us about it in the comments.

Update: Apologies for the prematurely closed poll—should be open now!

Well, I sure haven't gotten mine, yet.

If you're starting out on your own, or just wondering exactly how and where your independent work is covered by copyright, the Freelance Switch blog has a meaty, explanatory post on the ins and outs of copyright that's well worth the (long) read. Intrigued by the Creative Commons realm, but not sure how it would work for your solo gig? That's touched on, too. Photo by Uncommon Depth.

Good explanations.
