Google Wave

How awesome is this?
Yesterday I was watching Firefly and I suddenly noticed the people were not using e-mail, but 'waves'. Like "You got a wave from Inara."
I thought it was a very cool coincidence. Then I started Googling.

Turns out the people at Google are big Firefly fans. They renamed 'Walkabout' to 'Wave' because of the series.

Yeah I noticed this as well recently. I just got Firefly on Blu-Ray and had a good chuckle.
