+You know what they say about it.
+
+[Google Wave](http://wave.google.com) went into a wider preview release yesterday, as the first of what was supposed to be 100,000 invites were sent out to folks who’d agreed to beta-test for the developers. And everyone, myself included, has been waiting with bated breath.
+
+Well, not exactly bated breath. More like breath that’s being used to whine and wheedle, hoping for an invite to come sooner.
+
+The developers, however, are (a) in Australia, and so not operating on my time zone!, and (b) apparently pushing out these invites by hand. One. At. A. Time.
+
+So I have no idea whether I made the 100,000 cut or not. I do know, however, that a friend who did passed an invite my way last night, and that invite hasn’t yet been processed, so I’m still locked out.
+
+It’s not like I don’t have other things I need to do (like respond to some of the awesome comments that have been left on \[the other\] [Planned Obsolescence](http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/mcpress/plannedobsolescence)), but I’m still checking my Gmail account every three seconds just in case.
